The Social Security disability application and appeal process is highly complex and frustrating - with me in your corner, you'll be able to navigate through the bureaucracy and avoid potential pitfalls that would otherwise scuttle your appeal.
Contact me today if you need legal assistance with any of the following:
- Establishing an eligible disability

Attorney James Ratchford
I am an attorney with a practical focus on Social Security Disability. I have been representing claimants in Social Security matters since 2008, when I began with a major national disability firm. Since then, I've represented hundreds of claimants in hearings before Administrative Law Judges for the Social Security Administration, and worked on the written appeals of thousands more. My practice today is focused on collaboration with other firms to provide written and oral advocacy services in hearings and administrative appeals.
When I'm not fighting to win benefits for my clients, you can find me fighting gravity on a river or a ski slope. I'm always glad to talk about whitewater and if you'd like to learn about kayaking or skiing, don't hesitate to ask me for guidance or company.
