Wayne County
If you’re struggling with health and financial problems in Wayne County, the local disability lawyers at Levine Benjamin Law Firm can help you regain financial control.
Warren Disability Attorneys
Warren is a vital city, third largest in Michigan. People come to be near Detroit, for the jobs, the parks and quality of life.
But if you live in Warren and illness cuts off your ability to work, your ability to enjoy life here goes down.
Social Security Disability benefits can stop the freefall that follows losing your job to health problems. Benefits can replace uncertainty with stability, letting you cover your essential expenses and focus on your health.
Social Security, however, doesn’t just hand over benefits when you ask for them.
You have to prove your case qualifies. You have to show you paid enough into the system when you were working, prove that you can no longer work, and demonstrate that your illness is severe enough that you won’t be able to work again for at least a year, if ever.
That’s a lot. And it’s easy to make mistakes. One incomplete form or missed deadline can derail your claim. Social Security denies most claims it receives.
You don’t have to be a Social Security expert to get the benefits you need. The Warren disability attorneys at Levine Benjamin Law Firm can help. We know the process inside out and we know Warren. After all, we’ve been helping residents since 1964.
We are the largest disability law firm in Michigan according to Social Security numbers on firms securing the most benefits. We achieved that by taking a personal approach to every case we handle.
From applying to appealing, we help you every step of the way.

What To Expect from Social Security Disability in Warren
Winning Social Security Disability benefits is complicated, time-consuming and frustrating. Knowing the process can help clear up some uncertainty during a difficult time.
Disability applicants in Warren face the same hurdles as Social Security applicants nationwide. But having a local Warren disability attorney who knows the system, knows the process, and knows the people can save you a lot of headaches.
The major steps in gaining disability benefits include:
Qualifying: Before you apply, you should check your eligibility. For Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you’ll need to have worked long enough and paid enough into the system to be considered.
You’ll also need to prove you have an eligible medical impairment. That means either your condition appears on Social Security’s listing of impairments or that your symptoms, no matter what your diagnosis, combine to sink your ability to do your job.
Applying: Every case is unique, and there are different application forms for different situations. You will need to collect your medical records, work history documents, and statements from doctors, other health care professionals, and people who know you who can speak to how your illness has negatively impacted your life. Your Warren disability lawyer can help you apply for benefits.
Appealing: Social Security denies eight out of every 10 initial applications. So, it’s best to be prepared to appeal a denial. You’ll have several additional chances at benefits, including asking for reconsideration, going before a hearing judge, or even taking your case to federal court if it comes to that.
When you’re in Warren, a Warren disability lawyer is your best bet to successfully navigate all these paths. Levine Benjamin has helped more than 80,000 people gain the benefits they need to stabilize their lives.
We’ll look at your case at any step in the process—and our review is free of charge. In fact, even if you choose to work with us on your case, you still pay no attorney fees until you win benefits.
The disability attorneys at Levine Benjamin know the local legal system in Wayne County and the local resources available to you.
