Advocating for the disabled community since 2011
We are here for you when winning means everything.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the Law Office of Joel J. Humphries represents Social Security disability claimants throughout Georgia, the Southeast, and across the country. Whether you are living with the consequences of an injury or suffering from a debilitating disease, we will not only defend your claim, but also help you identify resources that may sustain you during this transition.
A complicated process. A steady advocate.
You should not have to face this alone.
Getting through the process of claiming Social Security disability benefits can be complicated, frustrating, and exhausting. It can tax your patience, and many people give up when they should be receiving benefits.
If you need to file for benefits, make sure you have someone who actually cares about getting you everything you deserve with minimal stress and frustration. We approach each claimant as an individual—not a file number—and work to make the process understandable from the beginning.
Why claimants turn to us
Focused help at every stage.
We build the file
Our experienced legal staff prepares, skillfully organizes, and submits each individual file for an optimal outcome. We identify missing evidence, follow up closely, and request additional documentation as needed.
We prepare you
For cases requiring an administrative hearing, your attorney carefully prepares you, explains what to expect, and appears with you at the hearing scheduled for your case.
“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”Isaiah 1:17
The work behind a disability claim
Preparation, communication, and persistence.
Education
We explain the disability process, the role of medical evidence, the meaning of agency forms, and what Social Security is evaluating at each stage.
File detail
Strong claims depend on detail. We work to connect diagnoses, treatment, symptoms, work history, and day-to-day limitations into a record the agency can evaluate.
Real-time feedback
Timeliness and real-time feedback are firmly embedded in our day-to-day operations. We keep claimants informed and address developments as the case moves forward.
Two principal programs
SSDI and SSI
Social Security Disability Insurance (Title II) may pay benefits to an insured worker and certain family members based on the worker’s earnings record.
Supplemental Security Income (Title XVI) is a needs-based program for people who meet Social Security’s disability and financial requirements.
The central question is not simply whether you have a diagnosis.
Social Security evaluates how your medically determinable conditions limit your ability to perform sustained work activity.
