Lawyer in Scottsboro, Alabama
Handling All Matters Related to Social Security Disability Claims
If you have an injury or illness that prevents you from working, you may be entitled to disability benefits under the federal Social Security program. You deserve an attorney who knows the law and the process—one you can trust to give your case the full attention you need.
At the law office of Melanie B. Bradford, LLC, I place a high priority on personal service and attention, always giving my best effort to help you get the results you seek. I understand the stress and anxiety you can feel when you can't work and the uncertainty you can experience as you move through the legal process. I will work hard to be accessible and available when you need answers, and to both resolve your current issues and help you avoid problems in the future.

My Social Security Disability Practice
I work with men and women at all stages of a Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) claim, from the preparation and filing of the initial application through any appeals. I will also act as your advocate in all hearings or meetings throughout the process, including proceedings before the Social Security Council of Appeals, an Administrative Law Judge, or in the federal district court. Whether you have yet to file or you have received a denial of your claim, I can help you protect your rights.
For many clients, the best approach is to file an Internet appeal. I will prepare and file that application for you and work closely with the Social Security Administration to confirm that they have received your medical records and that they have everything necessary to document your right to benefits. I will also gather all evidence and question all witnesses, including doctors, vocational experts or other witnesses who will be called to testify against you. I will work closely with you to prepare you for any hearings or testimony, so that you can accurately describe your condition in a way that does not jeopardize your right to compensation.
In addition to SSD claims, I can also help you seek Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI), often at the same time you apply for disability benefits.
