Finding the Right Disability Attorneys in Nashville and Throughout Tennessee

Although disability lawyers are not required to apply for benefits, the Social Security Administration (SSA) warns that, claims are at the highest level in their history, and 60 percent of all initial claims are currently being denied.  Appeals currently run at an 80 percent denial rate.  To increase the chance of acceptance, the SSA recommends the use of Social Security disability attorneys.  In Murfreesboro, Craft & Sheppard, PLC can provide the support you need at any stage of your claim.

When looking for a disability lawyer, it is important to seek an attorney with the right mix of experience and knowledge to ensure the best possible results for your claim:

• Disability experience:  An experienced Social Security disability lawyer understands both the process for filing an initial claim and the appeals process.  In Nashville, Social Security disability attorneys at Craft & Sheppard, PLC know the claim details that the SSA seeks to prove eligibility for a claim.
• Federal court litigation experience:  There can be as many as four different appeals.  The first three are handled by the SSA, subject to their regulations.  The final appeal is the last chance for claim acceptance, and it requires litigation within a federal court, which is not bound by SSA policies.  In Murfreesboro, Social Security disability attorneys at Craft & Sheppard, PLC have experience litigating in federal court to ensure the best chance of success during this final appeals process.
