When disability strikes, it is a time of great emotional stress and financial uncertainty.  A reliable long-term disability insurance policy can do much to ease the burden and strain. Sometimes, however, the Social Secutiry Administration turns their backs on the policyholders, doing everything they can to avoid paying disability benefits. Wisconsin disability Attorney David Dreis provides compassionate advice, guidance and support for the human needs of his clients while delivering aggressive and effective legal representation of the highest order.

David Dreis represents claimants for Social Security Disability and SSI disablity benefits for over 30 years. This is his sole area of practice.

• Social Security Disability (SSD)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Disabled Widows or Widowers
• Disabled Workers

Nobody ever expects to become disabled, but it can happen in an instant. A traffic accident, an on-the-job injury, a catastrophic illness, a reaction to medication, a heart attack, a stroke – any one of these can result in a musculoskeletal, cardiac, respiratory, urologic, muscle, psychological and/or mental impairment that can prevent a victim from working. Whatever the condition or the cause, if you or a family member are no longer able to work, you may be entitled to benefits.

Unfortunately, the initial application for disability benefits is often routinely denied by the Social Security Administration. Attorney David Dreis understands the devastating financial and emotional impact this can have, not just on the disabled person, but on the entire family. However simple and straightforward the initial application may have seemed, the appellate process is highly technical and often overwhelmingly complex for non-lawyers.

If your initial claim is denied, your appeal will involve a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. At this point you will need an attorney…but not just any attorney. You will need a highly experienced Social Security Disability attorney well-versed in the law and thoroughly familiar with the intricacies of procedural law that will govern your appeal. You will need to arrange for a free consultation with David Dreis.

Practice Areas and Legal Definitions

Most attorneys do not handle Social Security disability and/or SSI cases. The attorney fees are set and limited by law and the field is highly technical. The outcome of your Social Security disability claim will affect the rest of your life. Before you hire a Social Security lawyer, take the time to make sure he or she is an expert. Do not hesitate to ask straightforward and probing questions about the nature and extent of your Social Security claim representation.

Social Security Disability (SSD):
Social Security provides disability insurance benefits to those who have worked and paid Social Security taxes and have become disabled. In order to receive benefits, the claimant must establish 1) that the disabling condition makes it impossible to perform any substantial work, and 2) that the disability is expected to last at least a year or until death.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI):
Social Security provides SSI benefits for those who are severely disabled but not eligible to receive Social Security disability insurance benefits. This is usually because the claimant did not work long enough in Social Security covered employment to establish eligibility. SSI differs substantially from Social Security disability. The benefits are lower, there is no provision for dependent or survivors benefits, and the disabled person cannot own substantial assets or have substantial income from any source.
