Marla Heikkala has over40 years of legal experience and is dedicated and passionate about those in our community who have become disabled or injured and are unable to work. Marla and her team of attorneys and legal assistants will work hard for your Social Security benefits.
Some people seek help right away and hire a Social Security disability lawyer to file their disability claim. However, the Social Security Administration has made the initial application process relatively easy, and you can do it yourself in any of the following ways:
The Social Security disability application process is fairly easy and can be completed online. If you apply online and are found disabled, you do not pay any attorney fees. We would be happy to discuss your case, determine if we can help you file your initial application and represent you at all levels of the process.
At all phases of the Social Security claim process, our office will work to gather information and analyze your situation in order to best present your case to the Disability Determination Service or an Administrative Law Judge. Our goal is for you to be successful and receive the benefits that you deserve. Because filing a Social Security claim is new to most people, we try to help you understand what is happening at each step.
Whether you have questions about the process or are ready to file an appeal, we are here to help. We offer free consultations at any stage.
