Mason County Social Security Disability Lawyer

A disability that prevents you from working is a life-altering event. Beyond the medical realities themselves, applicants for Social Security Disability benefits face a claims process that is procedural, paperwork-intensive, and often decided at a hearing before an administrative law judge. A significant portion of initial applications are denied, and many claimants first receive benefits only after appeal. The firm's role is to guide claimants through each step of that process and to build the record needed to secure the benefits they are entitled to.

The firm's Mason County Social Security Disability practice covers every stage of a claim, from the initial application through reconsideration, the administrative hearing before an administrative law judge, and further appeals to the Appeals Council and federal court where appropriate. Kenneth P. Hicks has served as a Social Security Disability lawyer for more than three decades. Kathy Hagley, a paralegal who has been with the firm for more than 25 years, works directly with disability clients and their families throughout the process.

The firm also represents Mason County residents in personal injury and wrongful death matters, including cases involving vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, and denied insurance claims. Personal injury cases are taken on a contingency basis, and initial consultations are always free. Attorneys and staff meet with clients personally, take the time to explain the process and options, and communicate directly with clients throughout the representation.

Over more than three decades of practice, the firm has built its work around thorough case preparation, careful documentation, and clear communication. The goal on every matter, whether a Social Security Disability claim, a personal injury case, or a wrongful death action, is a result that reflects the client's actual situation and losses.
