At The Law Offices of Robertson Wendt, we’re equipped to help with all of your disability benefits claims. We understand that these matters are complicated, and we’re here to help.

When faced with a life-altering disability, the first thing we advise clients to do is file for Social Security disability. 

If you’ve already filed your disability claim only to be denied, we can help. Our team of seasoned disability claims professionals can review your Social Security disability claim and guide you in the next steps. 

With nearly 30 years focusing on disability law, attorney Rob Wendt understands the Social Security disability laws and knows how to improve your chances of winning a disability claim on appeal.

You may also be eligible for other disability benefits from a long-term disability policy, employer-provided disability insurance, or other disability policies. Rob Wendt and his team are skilled in navigating even the most complex disability policies and claims, and disability law is our only focus.

Often, with disability claims outside of the Social Security area, it is helpful to associate law firms with expertise in other areas, such as ERISA, that may affect disability claims. We have ongoing relationships with many of these firms and work to assemble the best team at no extra cost to the client.

We hope your claim will be approved on first application, but if not, you may need a disability benefits lawyer to handle your long term disability claim. We can help.

If so, you might be wondering why you should pay an attorney to handle your claim when a free representative is available. The offer might sound too good to pass up. But is it? Before you make a decision about your disability benefits claim that could seriously affect your future, we encourage you to ask these questions:

• Why would an insurance company offer something valuable for free? What is in it for them?
• Would you trust the most important thing—your Social Security disability benefits and Medicare coverage—to someone working for your insurance company?
• Did your long term disability (LTD) insurance company tell you that they might pay fees charged by an independent attorney of your choice?
• Do you know the qualifications of the representative that your insurance company wants you to use? Is that representative even an attorney, and do they specialize in Social Security disability?
• Who will advise you about your rights and legal obligations if your insurance company decides to terminate your long term disability benefits—the free representative paid for by the insurance company?
• If your Social Security case is scheduled for a hearing before an administrative law judge, will your free representative from a far-away state come to Charleston to represent you? Will they know anything about the local judges who will decide your case?

For answers to these and other important disability benefits questions, we encourage you to call us free of charge at (800) 704-6630 or contact our disability attorneys here.

It’s simple. Unlike many free representatives or out-of-state firms, Rob Wendt is a licensed attorney, based in South Carolina, with almost 30 years of experience handling Social Security disability and other disability benefits claims. Rob is one of only two board certified Social Security disability specialists in the state of South Carolina, and he is involved with every case in his office.

The Law Offices of Robertson Wendt is an independent law firm whose attorneys are licensed to practice in all state and federal courts and administrative agencies in the State of South Carolina. We’re real people that you can sit down with and talk over your problems, and we do not work for insurance companies.

Wherever you go for disability benefits assistance, you should be aware that often, insurance company representatives or other claim representatives are not licensed attorneys. They do not have the education, professional experience, or advocacy skills of an attorney.

Statistics published by the Social Security Administration show that the approval rate for all claimants represented by an attorney is higher than the approval rate for all claimants who are not represented by an attorney. A qualified disability benefits attorney like Rob Wendt prepares and files the necessary paperwork to appeal the claim, gets medical records, doctors’ opinions, and other evidence necessary to prove the claim, and files legal arguments, prepares you for the administrative law judge hearing, and appears with you in the administrative hearing.

Your disability benefits claim is important, and the process and laws are complicated.  Get all the facts before you decide who will represent you in your Social Security disability claim. We understand that your future and the future of your family are at stake.

Many disability claimants think that they cannot afford to hire a disability benefits attorney because they have no income. But it is important to know the Social Security Administration regulates that attorneys’ fees, and typically no fee is due unless we win your claim. Find out more about how our fees are paid.
