A Birmingham Disability Lawyer Who Helps You Through Hardship

We all know Birminghamians are hardworking people. And like anybody who works to provide for themselves and their family—and to be a positive and supportive neighbor—people in Birmingham deserve someone who cares about them when they face tough times.

Clarkson Pennington Law helps you secure financial assistance when your income takes a hit from major health problems. You get this through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, which provide monthly checks and Medicare health coverage to keep you going.

Two things can stand in the way: a feeling of embarrassment at needing help, and an exhausting process to get approved.

Here’s some reassurance. You may not realize it, but you paid to be covered for SSDI benefits. It’s an insurance plan, not a handout.

It’s understandable if you’re unhappy in this situation—nobody’s ever happy about it—but you have every right to claim what you’re eligible to receive.

And when it comes to the process (it can be long and complicated), that’s what our Alabama disability attorneys are here to handle. We study this and deal with it every day, so we can help you get through and onto a more settled and grounded life.

We’re not here to get you a handout. We’re here to give you a hand up.

  • Decide if you have a good case. Let’s look at your situation and see how it applies under Social Security’s many rules for disability benefits. You’ll be able to make informed decisions.
  • Apply for disability benefits mistake-free. You can make sure you get the right information, submitted correctly, with help from a Social Security Disability lawyer who has seen it all before.
