When a medical condition keeps you from working

You may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) if you have a sufficient work history, or for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if you have limited income and resources.

Robert T. Johnson opened this practice in 1998 after seeing how difficult the SSA process can be without experienced help. Today our attorneys handle disability cases exclusively — not general civil litigation.

How our fees work: Federal law caps attorney fees at 25% of past-due benefits, up to $5,300. You owe nothing for our services if the claim is not approved.

If you have already received a denial letter, pay attention to the 60-day appeal deadline printed on the notice. Missing it can force you to start over.

Disability law only We do not split attention across practice areas. SSA rules and medical listings are what we work with every day.
Denver hearing office We regularly appear before ALJs at the Lakewood ODAR office and know local hearing procedures.
Medical record gathering Our staff requests records from treating doctors and hospitals so your file is complete before deadlines hit.
Statewide representation Most work is handled by phone and mail. You do not need to travel to our office for every step.

From a recent client

My reconsideration was denied and I was nervous about the hearing. Mr. Johnson walked me through what the judge would ask and handled the vocational expert questions. I was approved that afternoon.
