Social Security Disability
Navigating the Path to Your Social Security Disability Benefits.
Dorollo Nixon, Jr. Esq. is a Committed Legal Advocate for Individuals with Disabilities Specializing in Managing Social Security Disability Claims and Appeals.
Every month the Social Security Administration denies an unacceptably high number of disability claims. Whether you are initiating a claim or challenging a denial, Nixon Disability Law is here to help you fight to get the benefits you deserve. If you've diligently contributed to the Social Security system throughout your career, only to be denied the financial support you require due to disability, Nixon Disability Law can substantially increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
We bring a wealth of expertise to every case, and as a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives, our founder possesses strategic insights that can greatly benefit your claim. We happily provide our advocacy services to residents of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Assisting in SSDI Qualification
Determining eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits involves meeting criteria such as paying Social Security taxes during your employment to accrue the necessary work credits. Additionally, your disability must render you unable to work full-time for more than a year. For those with limited resources due to disability, blindness, or old age, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program may provide assistance without the work credit requirements of SSDI. My team will evaluate your circumstances and guide you through the eligibility options.
Streamlining Initial Claim Preparation
Many claim denials result from insufficient evidence of disabilities. To enhance the chances of approval during the initial claim, your disability application must include comprehensive doctor and medical records, along with a detailed account of how your disability impacts your daily life and work capabilities. Our team assists in preparing your claim for initial review by ensuring all necessary evidence is included and handling the paperwork on your behalf.
Supporting Claimants Throughout Appeals
In the event of an initial claim denial, you must appeal this adverse decision within 60 days or lose any chance to win those benefits. The appeal process encompasses reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, review by the Social Security Appeals Council, and, if necessary, a civil lawsuit in federal court. Dorollo will guide you through each step, analyze the denial reasons, identify additional evidence required, and represent you before the administrative law judge and in some circumstances in federal district court.

“After 7 years of getting no where with the VA, I sought out Mr. Nixon's help. Dorollo went above and beyond in helping connect the dots between my medical evidence and deciphering VA logic. He is patient and makes sure you understand the route we were taking. Couldn't have asked for a better a VA Representative.”

Attorney Nixon is the definition of dedication, knowledge, and grade A quality of service. Effective communication across the board. His attention to details is finer than a strand of hair. He easily breaks down lawyer terminology to people to easily understand with visualization. There is no lawyer better than him to take on heavy contenders head on such as VA, social security and many other giants in the industry. When they say no he says yes. Thank you Attorney Nixon for representing my case and never giving up the great fight with the VA.

"Dorollo has helped me get VA Service Connected with multiple disabilities since hiring him in 2018. He has fought non-stop to get the correct decisions even when the VA denied and underrated several of my initial claims. I am now 100% Service Connected and Dorollo has become our family attorney."
