Social Security Disability Attorney
The idea of practicing Social Security Disability law began after Dan Wimmer worked with a family member who suffered a career-ending disability and who was unable to obtain Social Security Disability benefits. That first-hand experience of seeing the many challenges disabled persons must overcome motivated me to focus on Social Security Disability law when I began practicing law.
Dan Wimmer is a Social Security Disability Insurance attorney dedicated to securing the benefits his clients deserve. Regardless of where you live, if you are considering filing for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI), or if your claim has been denied, The Law Offices of Dan Wimmer can provide you a free Social Security Disability claim consultation and a no-obligation disability claim evaluation.
This website was designed to help you gain a general understanding of the Social Security system and how to consider strengthening your claim before it is filed.
The rules, regulations, and federal statutes governing SSDI/SSI benefits show the importance of presenting a mistake-free initial application supported by qualified medical records. Unfortunately, the impact of these rules and statutes is not always clear until after a claim has been denied.

Because of this confusion, consider the benefits a Social Security Disability Attorney can bring to this highly complex process. For example:
- You pay no upfront money: We do not charge and will not accept any upfront money. We are only paid if we win your case.
- We will complete and file all SSDI/SSI applications and provide guidance with the other phases of the Social Security Disability Insurance process.
- A lawyer has the training and experience to be a compassionate advocate and the legal skills to develop a successful claim application.
- If your disability claim was denied, a disability lawyer has the legal background to review and analyze previously filed documents, search for new evidence, formulate legal arguments, review the case file for errors or mistakes, and file pre-hearing or post-hearing briefs.
- A lawyer understands how to assemble medical and other non-medical evidence to help prove the disability you assert. This puts your case in the best position to be awarded benefits at the initial application stage or one of the administrative appeals.
- If we represent you, we will conduct several preparation sessions to help you become comfortable discussing your disabling symptoms with doctors, medical experts, Social Security claim examiners, and Administrative Law Judges.
- We will provide you with Social Security’s “medical source statement” form and ask your doctor to complete it or to provide other data enabling a connection between your symptoms or condition and your asserted disability.
- We will advance the funds to acquire all necessary electronic file copies of your physical and mental medical reports if your medical providers refuse to provide you with a free copy.
- We will accompany you at any Administrative Law Judge hearing and other meetings involving you and SSA officials, including interviews with SSA/DDS Claims examiners or other interviews. You have a right to be represented at those interviews.
- We will make, where permitted, oral and written arguments to administrative law judges at hearings, including pre-hearings or post-hearing briefs.
In recent years, changes in the rules and regulations governing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims have become complicated. Because of these changes, the importance of presenting a mistake-free, evidence-based “initial application” is often overlooked in the rush to file for benefits. At Dan Wimmer Law, we believe that is an incorrect approach.
Your initial application is strengthened when your medical records reflect every symptom or condition interfering with your ability to perform work-related functions and tasks. Because medical records are the most powerful evidence SSA uses to award benefits, we can teach you how to present and discuss your symptoms with your doctor. Learning how and what you should say when explaining your disabling symptoms is essential to building a successful claim file.
Medical records must document how each symptom or condition limits your ability to work. Although we cannot guarantee your claim will be approved, statistics show that claim filed with detailed medical records give your Social Security Disability attorney the best chance of getting your initial application approved or winning at one of the administrative appeal levels.
Every client gets a free Disability Claim evaluation. You do not need to come to our office; we can obtain most of the required information over the telephone. Call 833-833-2026 and get the help you need to receive the benefits you deserve.
Your Social Security Disability Attorney
Dan Wimmer is registered as an Appointed Social Security Claim Representative and can represent Social Security Disability Insurance clients throughout the United States.
Whether you need assistance filing your initial SSDI/SSI application or filing an appeal if your claim was denied, we are here to help. According to several publications, represented claimants were more likely to be approved for disability benefits.
The Social Security Administration uses a strict Five-Step Sequential Disability Evaluation process to determine a claimant’s disability. Step Four focuses on whether a person can perform any past relevant work activities. Step Five asks whether a person can perform any new and different types of work based on their limitations. These are important hurdles you must overcome, and disability attorneys know how to guide claimants through these Five-Step Evaluation Process cross-examinations.
Social Security Disability attorney Dan Wimmer will explain how each Five-Step rule can affect your claim’s determination. Without this knowledge, a claimant could misunderstand how a winning SSDI/SSI claim should be developed, presented, and defended before an administrative judge.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to improve your chances of being awarded benefits at the initial application stage or to win at one of the administrative appeal levels.
How are we going to do this?
We become deeply involved with you and your case facts.
- If you need to file an initial claim, we will help complete and submit all SSA forms. We will also offer you suggestions about specific types of evidence that should be gathered, and we will help draft answers to other SSA forms.
- If your claim has been denied, we will review previously filed applications and paperwork, looking for errors or weaknesses in answers or inconsistent responses to SSA Form questions. The SSA has used inconsistent statements to deny benefits to claimants.
- We analyze your medical records to determine whether all of your symptoms and conditions were discussed with your doctor and whether all those symptoms became part of your medical records.
- We will help you understand the importance of how to answer questions from SSA/DDS claim examiners. This is important because the effect your condition has on your current life activities could be crucial to a final determination.
- We will present a pre-hearing brief supporting your medical determination and, where permitted, a post-hearing brief addressing any vocational expert comments. We will also write a clear memorandum outlining your case’s theory at the initial application stage and at each appeal.
- We will attend every discussion or hearing you have with any SSA claim examiner, Administrative Law Judge, or other SSA official.
Being involved covers many different things. For example, while many law firms only take clients after their claims have been denied, we have a different approach. One of our objectives is to encourage clients to contact us when they first become disabled and are considering filing a Social Security Disability claim. Because approximately 66% of the initial applications are denied, we believe in becoming involved with clients from the beginning. Our view is that our early involvement at the initial application stage is the best opportunity to eliminate mistakes that could cause a claim to be denied.
Being involved early in the process enables us to assist clients with understanding why so many “initial applications” are denied. Studies suggest that the majority of those applications were denied because unrepresented claimants focused more on their disability and less on learning to explain how their symptoms limit and impact their ability to continue working.
Being involved is more than just answering questions; it is also about educating our clients about the SSA process. For example, because many claimants fail to adequately prove a connection between their symptom(s) and their disability, Social Security doctors, Claim Examiners, and Administrative Law Judges can deny many valid disability applications. If I am hired as your disability attorney, we will work with you to avoid these mistakes and outcomes.
Being involved gives our clients knowledge about specific nuances within the SSA system, placing them in the best position to have their “initial application” awarded or a denied claim eventually approved.
