Mering & Schlitz, llc – Baltimore, MD

Dedicated Social Security Disability Advocates

Mering & Schlitz, llc is a Baltimore-based law firm with a singular focus: helping individuals secure the disability benefits they need to survive. Founded in 1998 by attorneys Timothy Mering and Paul Schlitz, the firm brings over 35 years of combined experience to the table. Located on North Charles Street in the historic Mt. Vernon district, they have successfully represented thousands of clients before the Social Security Administration. Unlike general practice firms, they dedicate their entire practice to this complex and often frustrating area of law.

Guiding You Through the Process

Navigating the federal disability system can be overwhelming, especially when you are dealing with a serious health condition. Mering & Schlitz assists clients at every stage of the process, from the initial application to federal court appeals. Their expertise covers:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Helping workers who have paid into the system obtain benefits after becoming disabled.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Advocating for low-income individuals and children with disabilities.
• Appeals and Hearings: representing clients at hearings before Administrative Law Judges and handling appeals to the Appeals Council and Federal Court.

Local and Experienced

Timothy Mering and Paul Schlitz are deeply rooted in the Baltimore community. They understand the local medical landscape and the specific requirements of Maryland’s disability adjudicators. If you have been denied benefits, do not give up. Hire an attorney who knows the system inside and out. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning their fee is a percentage of your back benefits, and you pay nothing if you do not win.
