About Timothy
Biography
I am Chicago Social Security attorney Timothy White, and for over 18 years, I have dedicated my area of practice solely to helping people pursue Social Security disability benefits. I understand the ins and outs of the Social Security Administration, and I can help you present your case in the most effective manner possible. If your claim was denied, I can also help you appeal the decision.
While my Chicago law firm regularly handles a wide range of Social Security benefits issues, I am also one of few Chicago Social Security Disability attorneys with strong experience and interest in children's disability benefits cases.
In addition to having an in-depth understanding of Social Security law, I am known and respected by clients and judges alike. I am:
- Experienced: For more than a decade, I have helped thousands of men, women and children navigate the Social Security system.
- Available: Clients meet with me personally, not with an assistant or paralegal. I also take the time to communicate with clients during each step of the case.
- Prepared: I diligently research evidence and carefully prepare each case for the very best chance of success.
- Quick: My law firm has a good reputation for filing appeals and other paperwork quickly and accurately.
- Understanding: I truly care about my clients' well-being, and I work hard to help them receive the benefits that they need.

Michaels review
I was lucky to find Mr. White and hired him immediately after my initial meeting. He is very professional and worked quickly to help me get my social security benefits. His office was located in my neighborhood and not downtown somewhere, which helps. I will forever be grateful.

Timothy Robert White's Lawyer Endorsements
"I limit my practice to personal injury and Workers' Compensation matters but don't do Social Security. I have referred clients to Tim for over 10 years and the clients have universally thanked me for recommending Tim. I've never had anything but positive comments from the clients who had Tim handle their cases which is not something I can say about every attorney."
