Dedicated Social Security Disability Advocacy
From Application to Federal Court
At Anderson & Ackerman Law Group, we focus exclusively on helping people who are unable to work due to serious medical conditions get the Social Security disability benefits they deserve. We know how overwhelming the Social Security Administration (SSA) process can feel — especially while you’re also coping with a disability, medical appointments, and financial uncertainty. That’s why we devote all our practice to guiding, representing, and fighting for disabled claimants at every stage of the disability process.

why we exist
Fighting for Social Security disability benefits isn’t a sideline for us — it’s all we do. We’ve seen too many deserving individuals denied support simply because the process is complex and unfamiliar. That’s unacceptable. Our firm was built on the belief that people with severe disabilities deserve strong legal advocacy and real answers, not confusion and dead ends.
We are committed to leveling the playing field against an often intimidating SSA system. From initial applications to administrative hearings, and from Appeals Council reviews to federal court litigation, we stand by your side and fight to preserve your rights.
what sets us apart
Personalized, Client-First Service
Your case isn’t a number — it’s a story of real challenges, real hardships, and real hope. We take the time to understand your medical history, your limitations, and your goals so that our legal strategy reflects your unique situation.
No Upfront Fees
It costs nothing to open a case with us. You pay nothing unless we win your case. This ensures your interests are our interests.
Experienced Advocates at Every Step
Whether you’re filing your first claim, preparing for your hearing, or confronting a denial after the Appeals Council, we bring decades of focused Social Security disability experience to your case.
Federal Court appeals When You've Been Denied
If your claim was denied by an Administrative Law Judge and the Appeals Council refuses review, you still have options. We represent clients nationwide in federal district court appeals, preserving your original application date and maximizing your potential back benefits.
Family- Owned & Operated!
At our office, we’re all family! If you stop by on any given day you could see 3 or 4 generations of our family at work (well, maybe not the ones in diapers yet). When you come to us, you can rest assured your case will be treated with the care we would want for one of our own, and you get to support a small business.
Fighting for the benefits you Deserve!
