Legal Services for Acquiring Social Security Benefits

Guidance for Every Step of the Social Security Process

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a government-funded safety net for millions of Americans who worked hard through their adult lives before developing disabling physical or mental conditions that prevent them from working to age 67. The Law Office of Paul Tendler specializes in ensuring people receive that net.

I will prepare the necessary appeal paperwork for you and I will attend any and all hearings with you.

As much as 80 percent of applicants for SSDI have their initial application rejected. If denied, an applicant has 60 days to file an appeal, referred to as a Request for Reconsideration. I am Paul Tendler, an experienced SSDI attorney who understands the appeal process and has helped hundreds of individuals receive disability benefits.

If you are approved for SSDI benefits, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will likely owe you some retroactive benefits. I handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, with my fees being set by the Social Security Rules and Regulations. You will never pay me an attorney fee directly, but rather, my payment will be delivered to me by Social Security out of those retroactive benefits due and owing to you.

I also help individuals receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, a federal program for dependent children, adults with disabilities who cannot work, and surviving spouses who do not qualify for SSDI benefits.

Serving Residents Throughout South Jersey

By taking ample time to learn about the unique aspects of your case, I provide highly personalized guidance at every step of the appeal process. I am a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives (NOSSCR) and have over 37 years of legal experience in this field.

I have a thorough understanding of what is required to gain approval. I help clients:

• Appeal a denied claim
• Understand physical and mental health impairments
• Prove the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA)
• If your SSDI claim is not approved at the reconsideration stage, I will prepare a Request for Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)

I will prepare you for the ALJ hearing so you are confident and able to provide the information the ALJ needs to approve your claim.
