Social Security can be quite complex

Very few Claims Representatives and disability examiners with the SSA are anything but polite and helpful - but they have more work than they can handle while devoting the time to your claim that you would want them to spend. 

Social Security is governed by laws, regulations, policies and rules, rulings, case law, and many more.  The sheer volume should constitute information overload and shows that the federal government is not good at making things as simple and straight forward as they should be. 

The volume of the laws are so complex that a person not used to the system cannot fairly navigate the process. 

We've seen all to often claimants truly believe they are disabled and figure they can apply on their own without an attorney's help.  Usually by the time they come to see us, they are shocked that they were denied benefits.  What sets Mr. Mortimer apart from many attorneys claiming to be able to represent you is that he usually is able to figure out exactly why you have been denied benefits, which is something that requires an experienced attorney.
