Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Social Security disability lawyer in Rochester do?
A Social Security disability lawyer helps you prepare and file your disability claim, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings.

How long does it take to get a decision on a disability claim in Michigan?
Initial decisions in Michigan usually take 3 to 5 months. If you are denied and request a hearing, the wait for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge can take 12 to 18 months or longer. A lawyer can help speed up the process by ensuring your application is complete and accurate.
What is the time limit to appeal a denial in Michigan?
