If you’re dealing with a disability, we don’t think you should have to fight the bureaucracy too.

The disability law team at The Law Offices of Robertson Wendt is experienced in handling Social Security disability claims in South Carolina, and disability law is our only focus. Based in Charleston and serving clients throughout SC, Rob Wendt has been practicing law for 30 years. He has built a team of professionals with extensive experience successfully working with disability law and the Social Security Administration. We’re prepared to take care of the details so that you can move on with your life.

While you can try to navigate the Social Security disability system as an individual, hiring a qualified, experienced South Carolina disability attorney will enhance your chances of approval should you need to appeal. The disability laws are complex, and statistics published by Social Security show that the approval rate for appeals is higher when you are represented by an attorney.

Just as doctors specialize in various areas of medicine, most attorneys focus on a particular area of the law. If you seek the counsel of a lawyer, we encourage you to make sure that your attorney has experience in handling Social Security disability appeals and is able to handle your case through all levels of appeal. Disability clients should be aware that if out-of-state lawyers are not admitted to the federal court in South Carolina, they cannot handle your case in federal court except under very limited circumstances.

Social Security also allows non-lawyers to represent claimants, but at the administrative level only. Many individuals and companies offering representation in South Carolina SSD claims are not actually attorneys. As a result, they may not be able to handle your case past the administrative level, potentially necessitating a change in counsel mid-stream, a situation that could both complicate and impact the successful resolution of your claim.

Why would you want a representative who’s not been to law school when you can have a board certified attorney for the same fee?

Rob Wendt is one of only two board certified Social Security disability specialists in the state of South Carolina. He has been focused on Social Security disability claims in SC for most of his career and personally oversees every case his office handles. The team has knowledge in Social Security law and SC disability law that is difficult to match, and they stay current on the changing laws and regulations. We’re committed to handling each case with skill, professionalism, and the personal attention you expect.
