About Michael
Biography
I am an accomplished litigator who specializes in representing disabled individuals before the Social Security Administration. I have represented individuals at various Social Security Administration's Offices of Disability Adjudication and Review(ODAR) including the ODARs in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Elkins Park, PA, Goshen, NY, Syracuse, NY, Binghamton, NY, Roanoke, VA, Charleston, WV.
Every year I attend over 100 disability hearings before the Social Security Administration. Each year, I secure over a million dollars in past due Social Security Disability Benefits for my clients . Further, I regularly appeal decisions to Federal District Courts when the need for such an appeal arises.
In addition to my active Social Security Disability practice, I also represent individuals who have been denied short term and long term disability benefits. I have successfully obtained thousands of dollars in settlements for individuals who have been denied their short term and long term disability benefits.

Miserable failure
From Rowan and Martin Laugh-in. If your lawyer is asleep, better give him a nudge. Everybody look alive, 'cause here come da judge. Here come da judge. Here come da judge! Mr Parker was definitely asleep, not responding to my phone calls that would have corrected some misconceptions that had ari...
