Social Security & Disability 60%

At Rocky Mountain Disability Law Group, our goal is to help individuals understand the process of applying for SSDI from beginning to end. Because so many initial claims are denied, many claims require a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Some claims are even denied at the ALJ level and require review by the SSA's Appeals Council, or even by a Federal District Court. At RMDLG, we will fight for your benefits at every level possible.

Medical Malpractice 20%

The Federal Tort Claims Act is an important federal law. It provides a limited waiver of the government’s sovereign immunity1 allowing for lawsuits by persons injured by commonplace negligence of government employees.

Military Law 20%

At Rocky Mountain Disability Law Group, we are dedicated to serving our Veterans in their request for service-connected impairment ratings before the Veterans' Administration (VA). With the increase of our men and women in the Armed Forces returning from war with injuries and medical conditions, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), we are determined to help our Veterans secure the benefits they have earned through serving our country.

Eugene C Salerno

My lawyer helped me very much in my VA disability case. I would highly recommend this law group to other Veterans ,especially as we get older and find it hard to navigate all that is required to submit information to prove my case.

Best Attorney for the job!

Joe has worked very hard on my disability case. I requested Joe after I was denied my claim and has taken my case to the Federal level. I think he is the only Attorney that has to knowledge to work with Social Security at this level. I would advise anyone with a disability claim to hire Joe Whitcomb... to represent them.

Don't know what this is. Client?

Picked up my case and immediately knew what to do. His office has been very responsive. An occasional call with status would be a good idea. I know it is a long waiting process, but it would be reassuring if I knew where things were.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
