Social Security Disability
Burton & McKinnish, PLLC commit to providing legal representation for Social Security Disability benefits that really makes a difference. When ailments confine you to your home, we care enough to travel for appointments when a painful injury has confined you to your home.
Former SSA federal agent turned-attorney, Benjamin S. Burton, is here to help you fight for your entitlement benefits. He understands the red-tape bureaucracies associated with the process and how to streamline a claim through the system.
A Sevierville attorney who knows what to look for
Burton & McKinnish, PLLC represents clients that come to the office convinced of the hopelessness of receiving their benefits. Their claims have been denied and they see a system working against, not with, them.
Mr. Burton uses his familiarity with the SSA process and his legal training to guide him through his clients’ claims amending common mistakes and taking proactive legal action:
- Providing complete and thorough medical evidence of disability
- Filling out complicated forms correctly
- Meeting all claims deadlines
- Being persistent with an appeal for claims denial
- Following through with a case in federal court
Remember that many claimants are often denied benefits on their first claim—and yet, many of those people go on to successfully obtain disability benefits at a reconsideration hearing.
