Primary Practice Areas

Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability benefits are awarded to those who are able to prove that a medical condition prevents them from working, and is expected to last for at least a year or result in death. 

Supplemental Security Income

Another type of benefits can be sought if you are 65 or older, blind or disabled, and have limited income and resources. These are called Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

From Our Clients

“From the first moment I contacted Hartwig Law firm and talked with Jim he was very helpful. Sent me a brochure had it the next day. Worked with Stephanie the most very friendly, the whole staff was great. Started receiving SSDI within 5 months. Thank you so much for your help. Highly recommend.”

Joanne Shanley

“I had no idea going into this what the process would be like. I have listened to so many others “who know people who have been waiting forever for an outcome.” At the same time, being out of work (due to an injury) after 38 years of employment with the same company, with no source of income was not an option. Hartwig Law Firm came highly recommended to me. Andrea is who I dealt with, a pleasure! She was professional, kind, and happy. Happy to answer questions. Happy to return a call. Happy for me when I was awarded SSD. The staff is knowledgeable and hardworking. I am very pleased with the outcome. By the way, it took less than 4 months!”

Donna Sneider

“Excellent client service. They assisted me with the necessary forms that needed to be filled out to obtain my SSDI benefits in four months! Their timeliness in responding to both my email and phone inquiries was very quick. I could not have gone through this process without Hartwig Law Firm assisting me every step of the way!”
