PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION

If you were injured in a personal injury accident, turn to Dischell Bartle Dooley. Our personal injury lawyers have been helping injured clients get the compensation they deserve since 1976. Whether you were involved in a serious car accident or a slip and fall, the medical bills will come rolling in. We can help you get payment for all medical bills and lost wages.

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

Social Security disability benefits are paid to people who cannot work because they have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. The Social Security Administration has strict criteria for determining who is disabled and subsequent eligibility for these benefits. The vast majority of initial applicants are denied and required to seek an appeal before an Administrative Law Judge. The process is complicated and your disability claim is best presented by having legal representation from the onset of your claim.

We’ve worked with sellers, buyers, developers, tenants, and landlords across a variety of real estate transactions and litigation matters including eminent domain, property purchases, land use & zoning, construction litigation, and lease negotiations.
