I focus my practice on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. I also handles personal injury matters. When working with clients in SSDI and SSI cases, I can assist with everything from filing the initial application to going through the appeals process, including representing clients in hearings before administrative law judges.

Joanna helped me obtain social security disability even after my private disability denied me twice. She was very thorough and stayed in touch with me about exactly what information I needed to provide. She made a difficult situation for me much easier. I would recommend Joanna highly !

Marks and Harrison's Social Seuciryt practice is great!!
Joanna and her staff were very responsive and knowledgable about social security. I would recommend them to anyone because they encouraged me and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I got my social seucurity without having to go to a hearing and they did that for me.
"I endorse this lawyer. I went to law school with Joanna and have known her sense. She is one of the most honest, ethical people I know. I have referred several friends to her for legal advice, a few of who she has formally represented. Every one of them was very satisfied with her assistance, and obtained a positive outcome. She is top notch."
