Social Security & Disability 80%

The process of obtaining disability benefits can be slow and arduous. Most claimants find the law and procedures complex and confusing. Whether you are considering applying or you have already been denied benefits, our Lowell disability law firm can help.

39 years

80%
Personal Injury 20%

If you have been injured you may be entitled to a settlement, medical bill payments and lost wage replacement. The insurance company will quite often try to take advantage of someone that is not represented by a lawyer. You need an experienced attorney to look out for your best interest. I've been handling injury cases since 1987.

Help me through my disabilities

First time I talked to his secretary I felt a sense of security. After I spoke with him I knew my case was won.

Attorney Palma and Ms. Eberhardt-Ladd are the BEST!!

There are many Social Security Disability lawyers available in this area, and I had the good fortune to choose one of the BEST, Attorney Palma and Ms. Eberhardt-Ladd, to represent me. Not only were they professional and efficient, but they performed their services with incredible sensitivity, kindne...ss and at times humor. They were able to take what is normally a grueling, unpleasant experience and make it simple and straightforward. Needless to say, I won my case and owe this success to the diligent and knowledgeable handling of my case by Mr. Palma and Ms. Eberhardt-Ladd. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone that is in need of an excellent Disability Attorney. -John M., Billerica, MA

best social security attorney

Attorney Palma is kind-hearted and very concerned about my well-being. He has always been there for me when I needed him and very patiently explain my rights and the law. He also speaks Spanish fluently. It is a big help. He is the best attorney I have met.
