Social Security Disability

Easton, Pennsylvania Social Security Disability Attorneys Serving the Lehigh Valley

For most people who are injured or disabled, Social Security Disability benefits are a necessity. Unfortunately, the process can become extremely frustrating without the assistance of a skilled legal advocate. If you are unable to work because of a medical or psychological condition that limits your ability to do your job, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

At Thomas & Thomas, our attorneys' specialized training and more than 20 years of experience mean that we understand the nuances of Social Security Disability law and appeals. We have been helping people obtain Social Security Disability benefits since 1987, and we have belonged to the National Organization of Social Security Claimant Representatives since 1997.

Legal counsel from a trained and experienced Social Security Disability attorney is critical to successfully navigating the system. Consult an experienced attorney early in the process.Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation and to learn more about your rights.

Helping you navigate the Social Security benefits process

You are entitled to benefits for your disability. Our experienced attorneys will help you assert your rights and reclaim your dignity in your community and your life. We will review your records, determine the proper course of action, prepare your case carefully, and represent you at administrative law hearings.

Since 1987, Social Security Disability lawyer Carla J. Thomas has assisted our clients with their Social Security needs, including:

• Applying for Social Security Disability benefits
• Applying for Supplement Security Income (SSI) benefits
• Representation at administrative hearings
• Resolving overpayment cases
• SSD and SSI appeals

Preparing the record and evidence for your claim

Social Security Disability cases can be difficult. Many times, applicants fail to provide enough information for a judge to make a fair assessment.

Our attorneys work hard to ensure that proper evidence is presented up front to demonstrate your disability. We will collect necessary medical records, reports, prescriptions, employment records, statements from co-workers and former employers, family or clergy statements, and any other evidence that can attest to your physical or mental limitations or disabilities, such as:

• Cardiovascular impairments or pulmonary diseases
• Stroke, seizure disorders or blindness
• Bipolar disorder, depression, schizoaffective disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Back problems, herniated discs, osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis
• Failed surgery
• Chronic pain or fibromyalgia
• Scleroderma or CREST syndrome
• Parkinson's disease, Lupus, diabetes or multiple sclerosis
• Brain injuries or nerve damage

Protecting clients in overpayment cases

When Social Security has paid out benefits and later claims that they overpaid, they may seek reimbursement. If you have been confronted to repay benefits you have received, our attorneys can effectively protect your rights.

We accept SSDI claims on contingency basis — you will owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Contact Thomas & Thomas at our Easton, Pennsylvania office to schedule an initial consultation or case evaluation with our experienced Social Security lawyers.

Our law office is conveniently located across the street from the Northampton County Courthouse.
