Our Expertise
At the Law Office of Steven M. Chabre, we understand the complexities of disability claims and the importance of personalized attention. Mr. Chabre personally handles all aspects of his cases, carrying a moderate caseload to ensure high-quality, personal service for every client. He does not employ a large staff to review and prosecute his cases, instead, he dedicates his expertise and time to each individual client. Our fee structure is competitive, and we work on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if you recover on your claim.
Disability Benefits Claims
We specialize in helping clients navigate the complex process of obtaining disability benefits. Our expertise includes Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and ERISA claims. We understand the intricacies of each program and the importance of thorough preparation and documentation to ensure a successful claim.
Social Security Disability Claims
Social Security administers two disability benefit programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Our expertise in Social Security disability claims includes helping clients prove their inability to work due to a physical or mental condition. We understand the importance of credibility in claims based on pain, fatigue, or mental illness and the need for legal representation at the administrative hearing level.
ERISA Claims
ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) is a complicated federal statute that governs employee benefits such as pensions, health insurance, and long-term disability insurance. We understand the nuances of ERISA and the importance of thorough preparation and documentation to ensure a successful claim. We believe that most claimants should have legal representation during the administrative appeal process to increase their chances of success.
