Biography
I represent clients in Social Security disability claims, Workers' Compensation claims, personal injury cases, and Long-Term Disability appeals. I have represented Social Security claimants in hundreds of hearings before administrative law judges. I have also handled over 60 federal court appeals in Social Security claims. Prior to focusing on these areas, I represented clients in civil cases for over eight years as an attorney with the Georgia Legal Services Program.
