Social Security Disability

Cutting through the Red Tape and Fighting For You

Greenville, South Carolina, Social Security Disability Lawyer Tom Ervin

We understand that you don't "choose" to be disabled. And we understand your frustrations. The Social Security Administration is a complex and slow-moving bureaucracy - the opposite of what you need when you can't work and need benefits to pay your daily living expenses. The average time to get a hearing on your disability appeal is approximately 24 months. We can work to reduce your waiting time under certain circumstances.

We've Got Your Back - Focused and Determined Representation

The law firm of Kathryn Williams, P.A., takes up your cause when your claim is rejected. We try to speed up the process as much as possible and to keep you informed. Attorney Tom Ervin practices primarily in Social Security Disability. Based in Greenville, he puts 30 years of legal experience to work for clients throughout surrounding counties of Upstate South Carolina.

Initial claims for Social Security Disability are routinely denied - 60 to 70 percent of people are rejected at the first stage. That's where Tom Ervin steps in. He personally meets with you to review your case and give you an honest assessment of your claim. If he determines you have a decent case, no one will fight harder to secure your benefits. He also assigns one of our highly trained and friendly paralegals to assist you. You can call any time for prompt answers and updates.

We handle both Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. See our Frequently Asked Questions for more background.

Appealing Your Denied Claim

Reconsideration - Mr. Ervin has a high success rate in this first appeals stage, which involves your claim with any new supporting documents. As part of our services, we will arrange an independent medical evaluation (IME) with a trusted physician or vocational expert, if necessary to win your appeal.
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ Hearing) - If your reconsideration request is denied, you have a right to ask for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge who handles only Social Security appeals. Mr. Ervin prepares the necessary forms, prepares you for the hearing and attends the hearing with you.
Appeals Council - If the Administrative Law Judge rules against you, your case can be appealed to the Appeals Council.
Federal Appeal - Some Appeals Council decisions may be appealed to the Federal District Court if meritorious grounds exist for such an appeal.
"Rocket Docket" - Under certain circumstances, your case may qualify for expedited treatment. Tom Ervin has handled many Rocket Docket appeals. This can substantially reduce the normal waiting time to get an appeal heard.

Above and Beyond - We're Here to Serve You

We strive to maintain a high level of personal service to claimants through this long and frustrating process of appeals. For clients with no health insurance, we try to connect them with free medical clinics, mental health providers with sliding scale fees, and prescription medication assistance programs.
