The Cochran Firm Disability – Atlanta, GA

Continuing the Legacy of Justice

The Cochran Firm Disability is a specialized division of the legendary law firm founded by Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., dedicated to helping individuals secure the Social Security Disability benefits they need to survive. Located in the historic Candler Building in Downtown Atlanta, the firm upholds the mission of its founder: to provide high-quality legal representation to the disenfranchised and to ensure equal justice for all. While The Cochran Firm is globally famous for its civil rights and personal injury work, its disability practice plays a crucial role in the local community, advocating for those who are unable to work due to severe medical conditions. The attorneys at the Atlanta office are experts in the complex regulations of the Social Security Administration (SSA). They understand that for many clients, these benefits are the only lifeline preventing financial ruin, and they fight tirelessly to navigate the bureaucratic maze and secure approval for their clients.

Social Security Disability (SSDI) Advocacy

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be a frustrating and confusing process, with a high percentage of initial claims being denied. The Cochran Firm Disability guides clients through every step of the application and appeals process. Their attorneys help gather the necessary medical evidence to prove the severity of the client’s condition and its impact on their ability to work. They are skilled at identifying why a claim was denied-whether due to a lack of documentation or a technical error-and crafting a strong appeal. They represent clients at hearings before Administrative Law Judges, preparing them to testify effectively and cross-examining vocational experts to demonstrate that no suitable work is available.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

In addition to SSDI, the firm assists clients with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. This need-based program provides financial assistance to disabled adults and children with limited income and resources. The Cochran Firm understands the strict financial and medical eligibility requirements for SSI. They work compassionately with low-income families to document their financial need and prove their disability status. Their advocacy helps vulnerable members of the community access the funds they need for food, shelter, and clothing, providing a measure of stability in difficult times.

A Voice for the Injured and Disabled

The attorneys at The Cochran Firm Disability view their work as a continuation of the civil rights movement, ensuring that the disabled are treated with dignity and respect by the government. They handle cases involving a wide range of impairments, including physical injuries, chronic illnesses, and mental health conditions. By focusing specifically on disability law, they stay up-to-date on the latest SSA rulings and medical-vocational guidelines. This specialized knowledge, combined with the firm’s national resources and reputation, makes them a formidable advocate for any Georgian fighting for their benefits.

No Fee Unless We Win

The Cochran Firm Disability operates on a contingency fee basis, which is strictly regulated by federal law for Social Security cases. This means that clients pay no upfront attorney fees. The firm only gets paid if they successfully win the case and recover backpay for the client. This model ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has access to top-tier legal representation. Clients can call for a free consultation to discuss their eligibility and get honest advice on how to proceed with their claim.
