I highly recommend LaPorte Law Firm. Terry LaPorte and his team were genuine and professional. His knowledge and timely responsiveness got me the exact results I was looking for. LaPorte Law Firm made the process extremely easy and stress free for me. I sincerely appreciate his follow up and willingness to answer any of my questions as time has passed by. Great choice!

I am so grateful to the LaPorte Law Firm for the expertise, guidance and professionalism they provided in handling my claim and helping me get the most positive outcome I could possibly hope for! The system seemed daunting and overwhelming to me at the beginning of the process - but, Terry LaPorte took the time to talk through the details of my case on several occasions before we started and, in the process, kind of helped orient me to what the process was and what to expect in the days ahead. This helped me so much in ways I am still coming to appreciate, most importantly because I could see what an amazing attorney Terry is - how much knowledge & experience he has navigating this complex process – and I could also tell that I was in good hands - I was glad to be there! Maria Miranda-Hammon was also just amazing every step of the way, knowledgeable about all the issues with an ability to explain them in a way I could understand. She was extremely professional and super responsive - she would always answer my questions right away, often responding by phone or email after work hours. Thank you LaPorte Law Firm!!!

Mr. LaPorte (Terry) won my case for me several years ago. He was extremely patient and diligent. After feeling inadequate for years of people questioning my health, Mr. LaPorte truly cared about my chronic conditions. I still regularly email and he calls me to talk about all my questions. I definitely trust Mr.LaPorte. He is incredibly sweet and I feel at ease knowing that I am always protected when it comes to my SSI especially with how much anxiety I get with my reporting duties.

If you feel that your claim has merit, you may immediately file a new claim and try again.
You generally have 60 days to submit an appeal after receiving a denial notice, and may be given five extra days for the notice to be mailed to you. Under certain circumstances, however, the SSA will accept a late appeal if you have a “good cause.” Some reasons the SSA may consider a “good cause” for filing a late appeal are diminished mental capacity, hospitalization, lost mail, etc. However, do not delay even one day in filing your appeal and providing an explanation letter for the late filing.
Any decision you make should first take into account what is best for you from a medical care standpoint. However, it may be wise to consult with another doctor, as your treating doctor’s opinion is extremely important in your claim.
No, it is more of a “safety net.” SSDI will pay monthly benefits to you based on the amount of money that you have paid so far to the system through employment taxes.
Medical reports are extremely important in proving your disability. While you can request the Social Security Administration to provide doctors for “consultative exams,” these are a poor substitute for the reports of a treating physician. If you cannot afford a doctor, you may be able to obtain treatment through a hospital clinic or county health services. If you do not know how to find these services in your area, contact us and we will try to assist in any way we can.
If your claim is approved initially, the process should take just a few months, but only about one-third of claims are approved on the first filing. For most people, the appeal process must be used to secure benefits. If your claim is approved after an appeal to the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, it is common for there to be delays of a year or more before benefit payments commence.
There is paid parking under the building. Its reasonable and patrolled constantly. I've found parking on the street, close to the building several times as well.
