Muskegon Social Security Disability Hearings Lawyers
A Muskegon SSDI Lawyer Navigating You Every Step of the Way
At a hearing for Social Security disability benefits, your future income is at stake. An administrative law judge (ALJ) will review your case and make a determination about your eligibility.
At Nolan & Shafer PLC, we want you to be ready for the process—and ready to present a solid case. You can count on our Muskegon SSDI attorney to provide you with effective and personalized advocacy.
Before your hearing:
- You and your representative, if you have one, should look over the evidence in your case file and gather new evidence.
- You will submit your case file and all assembled evidence when you request a hearing.
- Send any new evidence to the ALJ as soon as possible.
At your hearing:
- The ALJ will explain the issues in your case, and they may ask questions of you and any witnesses you bring.
- The ALJ may ask other witnesses, such as a vocational expert or doctor, to speak at your hearing.
- Under oath, you and the witnesses will answer the questions. Even though the hearing is informal, it will be recorded.
- If you have a representative, you may both submit evidence and question any witnesses.
Nervous about your disability case? Don’t be. Ask Nolan & Shafer PLC to represent you at (231) 403-0040.
After the Hearing
You won’t get a determination at the hearing. The ALJ will study all the evidence and then create a written decision. The judge will then send you and your representative a copy of the decision or dismissal order.
