The Disability Benefits Law Center represents disabled individuals throughout Philadelphia and its suburbs, the Lehigh Valley and nearby New Jersey and Delaware communities in Social Security Disability (SSD) and SSI disability claims. We provide committed, effective and personal legal help to individuals who are considering applying for SSD and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, those who have applied, as well as those who have had applications denied and want to appeal that decision. Our lawyers have helped thousands of individuals obtain disability benefits, and we are here to help you. Attorney Ted Walkenhorst and attorney David Machek are highly experienced in disability law. Our attorneys are members of NOSSCR (National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives) and the Social Security Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association. We remain current on Social Security disability law and teach disability law to other attorneys. Our professional staff is equally committed to our clients and to a successful outcome in every case. Our clients receive personal attention and devoted representation at all stages of the process—from the initial application through federal court appeals (if needed). We are here to answer your questions, be your advocates and make sure you get the SSD and SSI disability benefits you need and deserve. We help clients in Pennsylvania cities that include: Philadelphia, Abington, Allentown, Bensalem, Bristol, Bethlehem, Coatesville, Media, West Chester, Cheltenham, Doylestown, Elkins Park, Glenside, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lansdale, Levittown, Norristown, Upper Darby, Chester, Warminster, Willow Grove, Norristown, Reading, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Harrisburg.

Recommendation!
My father in law recommended Walter to me for my oldest son. I give him 5 starts because he really is 5 stars! What I like most about him he is a very friendly, straight forward man who does what it takes to get the job done right and Rosemary (i am guessing his assistant) is one of the most sweetest...
"I endorse this lawyer. Walter (Ted) Walkenhorst is the consummate professional. He prepares cases meticulously and represents his clients zealously. I have interacted, professionally, with Ted for more than 25 years. Because my practice area is Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation and his is Social Security, we often represent the same clients in the pursuit of different types of benefits. My clients uniformly report complete satisfaction with Ted's work product. Moreover, Ted is a caring person who understands how disability impacts the lives of his clients. I am honored to be his friend and colleague, and I am privileged to offer my unqualified endorsement."
"I endorse this Walter as I have professionally worked with his firm and found them to be honest, diligent, and very professional."
