We identify the theory of the case.
By which we mean, the sum of the medical evidence and vocational evidence applied to the law that will result in a favorable decision.
We develop the medical evidence.
We collect and study the medical records related to your claim and contact your doctors for their opinions regarding your medical status.
We develop the vocational evidence.
We employ an independent expert vocational specialist to determine your past relevant work and conduct a transferable skills analysis in the context of your residual functional capacity.
We argue the law.
We are thoroughly familiar with the statutes, regulations, rulings, HALLEX, and case law relevant to disability law and apply the law as necessary to argue your claim.
Our approach: The biggest concern is identifying the theory of the case.
Our clients know they’re in pain, can’t work, but they need someone to translate their symptoms into a cogent theory of a claim. That’s what we do. We listen to their story, we take their symptoms and diagnoses and translate them into vocational terms and apply those vocational terms to the law. That includes knowing what forms to use, what language to employ, and when and where to file the appropriate forms, and to ensure they were filed. The theory of the case also requires the argument be logical and sequential and consistent over the course of the claim. It must accurately reflect why a claimant is disabled. Consequently, it is a complex assignment that requires experience and judgment, a thorough grounding in medical issues, a thorough grounding in vocational issues, and expertise in the law. And we possess the skills and knowledge to achieve that.
