As Seen on Jeopardy!

2016-03-15T19:35:50+00:00

Within the past month, I made presentations about Social Security Disability both to the public and to a local Bar Association. Attendees at both lectures received the same printed materials and heard slightly different oral presentations, tailored for the audience. For the lawyers, my lecture was focused on what they should look for if clients [...]

Winning Disability Claims: Behind the Hermann Law Group Success Rate

2016-02-09T19:25:24+00:00

As the year draws to a close, I've taken some time to think about why we have such a high success rate. Looking at all decisions in 2008, we won 92% of our Social Security Disability cases. This number is far higher than the national average, where no more than 53% of all applicants win [...]

Giving Clients What They Want

2016-02-02T19:23:48+00:00

Right now we are in the process of changing all our advertising. For the past few years we have used a few phrases that describe how we think we are different and better than other similar firms. Even though we thought enough of the phrases that we registered them as service marks, not one client [...]

Our Office Changes with the Times

2016-01-12T19:16:36+00:00

We just returned from the semi-annual NOSSCR meeting, the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives. I used to be awed at these meeting by how much people knew. Now I am more likely to be amazed by how much they do! People not only attend staggering amounts of hearings, they find time to talk [...]

Charity Ride to Benefit the Disabled Changed Lives

2015-12-22T16:55:17+00:00

There are occasions in everyone's life where everything is so positive you don't want the moment to end. Your team wins the championship, graduation, a great concert or unforgettable party. As a Yankee fan I've had my share. As a Bruce Springsteen fanatic, every show is like that. As a triathlete, little compares with the [...]

Social Security Disability Benefits—Part 1 of 3: When Your Disability is Temporary

2015-11-03T15:58:24+00:00

A common misconception among some Social Security claimants is that in order to receive benefits one must be "permanently disabled." Conversely, some recipients believe that once they are deemed "disabled" by the Social Security Administration, they are considered "permanently disabled." While many medical conditions may very well be permanent, a determination by the Administration does [...]

The Long Term Disability Appeals Process is Inherently Unfair

2015-08-25T14:33:48+00:00

It has always bothered me that the appeal of a denial of Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits under a group plan is made to the same insurance company who not only has just denied the claim, but also who makes the payments. Despite this inherent conflict of interest, the ERISA statute and its effectuating Regulations [...]

Quick Decisions Make Happy Clients

2015-08-04T14:22:33+00:00

One of the things I do often, but especially as the year ends, is check the numbers surrounding our Social Security Disability cases. As I do that this year there are two numbers that come together in a way that I think shows a lot about who we are and what we do. We always [...]

While I may be a new addition to the law firm of Hermann Law Group, I am no stranger to the practice area of Social Security Disability.
