Where Lawrence Disability Cases Are Heard

Lawrence is home to its own Social Security Office of Hearings Operations, at 439 South Union Street. That office decides the appeals for the Lawrence, Lowell, and Haverhill areas, so if your claim proceeds to a hearing, an administrative law judge there will hear it.

The hearing is where most winnable claims are actually won, and preparing for the Lawrence office means knowing how its judges handle medical and vocational evidence and having the record complete before you walk in. Hearings are commonly held by phone or video now, so our Cambridge location is no obstacle. We serve claimants across the state; see our Massachusetts Social Security Disability page.

Why Merrimack Valley Claims Get Denied, and What We Do About It

Denials usually trace to thin medical documentation, vocational factors that were never argued, or the lack of a clear legal theory holding the claim together.

We build a Lawrence claim on four tracks. We identify the theory of the case, the medical and vocational evidence that points to approval under the law. We develop the medical evidence, collecting records and treating-source opinions. We develop the vocational evidence with an independent specialist who reviews your past work and residual capacity. And we argue the statutes, regulations, and rulings that govern the decision.
