Empowering the Disabled to Reclaim Their Lives
Ascend Disability Lawyers is a specialized law firm in New Orleans, Louisiana, dedicated exclusively to fighting for the rights of the injured and disabled. Founded in 2013 by Attorney Jason Harmon, the firm was built on the belief that every individual deserves compassionate and effective legal representation when they are unable to work. Unlike general practice firms, Ascend focuses entirely on disability law, giving them a depth of knowledge and experience that is critical when challenging denied claims against large government agencies and insurance companies.
Experts in Disability Benefits
The process of applying for disability benefits can be overwhelming, with high denial rates for initial applications. Ascend Disability Lawyers steps in to navigate this complex bureaucracy, handling everything from gathering medical evidence to representing clients at administrative hearings. Their team understands the specific criteria used by the Social Security Administration and private insurers, allowing them to build the strongest possible case for their clients.
- Social Security Disability (SSDI): Assisting workers who have become disabled in securing the federal benefits they have paid into throughout their careers.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Helping low-income individuals with disabilities obtain necessary financial support.
- Veterans Disability: Advocating for veterans to ensure they receive the full compensation rating they deserve for service-connected injuries.
- Long-Term Disability (ERISA): challenging insurance companies that wrongfully deny or terminate benefits under private or employer-sponsored policies.
