Services We Offer

Application Assistance

You’ll need a fair amount of materials ready to apply for SSI and SSDI disability benefits.  If you make a mistake on the application, or your application gets “lost,” you may need to wait a year or more to hear back from the SSA.  We help you to ensure it gets filled out correctly.

Hearing Preparation

The majority of disability claims are denied during the initial and reconsideration stages of the application process.  The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing is your best chance to reverse a denial of your claim.  We will help defend your claim in court if needed.

Help with Appeals

If your claim is denied at your Hearing, the appeals process becomes more challenging.  This involves a review by the Social Security Appeals Council.  A disability advocate can help file your appeal and give you the best chance for approval or further review by the ALJ.

I thought I left a review but I don't see it, so better late than never! Just wanted to give a quick bit of appreciation to Karen and Carrie of Starr Disability Associates. They represented me beginning Sept 2021, and worked with me for the two years it took to win my case. So much paperwork! I would've been too overwhelmed to do this on my own, and I'm glad I decided on Starr to represent me. Thank you!

Carrie was my attorney and I can't say enough about her. She cares and it shows with every conversation. She goes above and beyond. I was blown away.
