Nothing up front. We work on contingency — no fee unless we win your benefits, with the fee capped by federal law as a percentage of your back pay.

Not to file — but most initial claims are denied, and claimants represented by a Social Security lawyer have significantly higher approval odds at the hearing level.

The Nashville Office of Hearings Operations is at 221 Cumberland Bend. It serves Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee field offices including Clarksville, Gallatin, Murfreesboro, and Columbia.
