About Levine Benjamin Law Firm

What Makes the Levine Benjamin Disability Lawyers Different?

Levine Benjamin isn’t like all other disability law firms in some important ways:

We Help You from the Very Start of Your Social Security Disability Claim.

Some disability lawyers will tell you to apply for Social Security benefits on your own and call them back for help when you’re denied.

At Levine Benjamin, we believe in helping you from the very first steps of seeking disability benefits, even guiding you through the basic application forms.

Having experienced lawyers from the beginning makes the process easier for you, helps you avoid mistakes for a better chance of winning benefits, and gets a lawyer supporting your claim who can move quickly to appeal if you’re denied.

An overwhelming number of people do get denied, even with their best efforts on their applications. That’s just how the system works. But like we said, at Levine Benjamin, we help you every step of the way.

We Provide Individual Attention to You.

It’s unusual for the attorneys who run a law firm to introduce themselves to you when you start working with their firm, but our managing partners make a point of giving you personal attention.

And the lawyer who handles your case will listen to you, work with you, and develop an individual plan for your case.

You’ll be able to meet them to prepare well in advance of your disability hearing—a crucial step—while other law firms might just send someone to see you on the day of your hearing.

Much larger national law firms or disability benefit representative companies are out there, but working with them may seem more like dealing with a faceless corporation than a supportive Levine Benjamin disability lawyer who gets to know you.

We Even Help with Health Coverage

Once you’re approved for SSDI benefits, most disability law firms part ways with you.

But after a waiting period while you’re receiving SSDI, you gain access to Medicare even though you aren’t yet the usual age for Medicare eligibility.

It’s a hugely valuable benefit, but you’re on your own shopping for and choosing a Medicare Advantage plan. It’s complicated and confusing.

You can get help from Levine Benjamin again. We have health insurance advisors who guide you through the Medicare plan selection process.

It’s also important for you to know this: When you work with Levine Benjamin Law Firm to get disability benefits, you pay no fee until you win your claim.

How Levine Benjamin Helps Every Step of the Way on Your Disability Claim

Whether you’re wondering if you qualify for benefits, need to apply, or have already applied and received a denial letter, you can call Levine Benjamin for help with Social Security Disability.

Do I Qualify for Disability?

Our disability lawyers know how to apply your individual situation to Social Security’s rules for disability benefits: You must have serious health problems, be unable to work, and have little chance of returning to work in less than a year.

We’ll evaluate your case and let you know whether you might have a strong claim for benefits. Then we’ll help you gather the proof you need.

How Do I Apply for Disability?

Applying for Social Security takes a lot of leg work: pages of forms to fill out, documents to collect and submit, questions to answer from Social Security.

Levine Benjamin’s Detroit disability attorneys lighten the burden on you.

What Should I Do About Getting Denied for Disability Benefits?

Almost always, you should appeal your denial of disability benefits. An overwhelming number of people get denied. Nationally, it’s not unusual for 80 percent of first-time applicants to be denied.

A denial doesn’t mean it’s over. Getting denied and having to appeal is a built-in part of the process. Appeals are much more technical and legalistic than applying in the first place. Levine Benjamin disability lawyers have extensive experience with appeals.

No matter where you are in the disability benefits process, there is no cost to call us, talk about your needs, and see how we can help you.

Get Help with a Long-Term Disability Claim in Michigan

Levine Benjamin Law Firm can help you in Michigan if you have another kind of disability coverage besides Social Security Disability—coverage that comes from a private insurance company instead of the government.

If either you, or your employer, paid for long-term disability insurance, you expect it to be there for you when you need it.

But insurance companies sometimes have other plans.

They drag their feet, or outright refuse, to provide the financial assistance you’ve been paying for.

But when you’ve been sidelined from work because of major health problems, long-term disability benefits can make a huge difference for you. They can preserve your financial security.

This is too important to let the insurance company ghost you.

Talk to a long-term disability lawyer at Levine Benjamin.

We know how long-term disability insurance policies work. We know the tactics insurance companies use to deny or short-change you. And we know how to counter those tactics and fight for maximum compensation for you.

How to Navigate Medicare Advantage with Levine Benjamin

Getting health coverage from Medicare is life changing.

You get access to the treatment you need—in a way you can afford.

Even better, when you know your health needs are better taken care of, you can live more confidently.

Retired people often talk about how great it is to get Medicare.

When you get Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, it’s a huge relief to get covered by Medicare at an earlier age.

This may be just as valuable as the monthly disability checks.

Like shopping for any insurance, it’s a pain. Comparing plans is complicated. They aren’t easy to look at side by side. You worry you’re missing something that should be covered.

The Levine Benjamin Medicare Advantage advisors can get you through this process with the best plan for your needs.

We’re here to make Medicare Advantage enrollment—and your life—easier.
