A person can file Social Security on their own but it is a long process and I know I could not have done this on my own. I was in a lot of pain, stressed, anxiety. Attorney Zimberlin is an expert in this area. The legal team sent requests for medical records from doctors, hospitals, therapy etc. I had a lot of forms to fill out and this was stressful enough. They sent everything to Social Security.
I represent clients at the initial, reconsideration, hearing, Appeals Council, and Federal Court levels. I represent both SSD and SSI clients seeking to obtain disability benefits
I represent students in disputes with schools, including special education claims, attendance at PPTs, complaints to schools and to the state, due process, expulsions, bullying, harassment, and academic misconduct. I represent students in dispute with institutions of higher education for disciplinary matters and academic misconduct charges.
I represent veterans in veteran's disability claims, seeking service connected disability. I represent veterans at the Regional Office level, Board of Veteran's Appeals, Court of Appeals for Veteran's Claims, and the Federal Circuit.
I represent individuals in many kinds of disputes with insurance companies, and am now concentrating on long term disability claims for disabled individuals. I represent disabled individuals in claims to LTD providers, and in court appeals.
I have practiced law for 39 years, doing a diversified civil practice. I am spending most of my time time representing people with disabilites and students. I represent people trying to obtain social security disability benefits, long term disability or veterans disability. I represent students in all kinds of disputes with schools; public and private, from elementary school to includes students in special education and regular education. It includes disputes about appropriate programming, bullying, expulsions and claims of academic misconduct.
For veterans, I help them get increased ratings, service connection, or Unemployability.
I take a personal, hands-on approach to all my cases. This is a small law office where all clients gets individual attention. Along with a team of dedicated paralegals, we concentrate on getting the best result possible for your case.
I am admittied to the Connecticut Bar, U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the Federal Circuit.
