Northwest Arkansas Social Security Disability Lawyer
Proudly Helping Clients Understand Their SSDI Options
Our skilled legal team at Martin Attorneys understands how important it is for disabled individuals to secure Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Unfortunately, countless Arkansas residents are denied disability benefits every year and end up dropping their claims. That is why we are here to use our extensive knowledge of the law to help clients navigate the legal process and fight to obtain the SSDI benefits they are entitled to.
Our compassionate legal professionals know that being disabled and pursuing treatment without medical insurance is a major obstacle for most families. Although the Social Security system is complex, our dedicated attorneys are ready to assist with your disability case and walk you through the SSDI application. If your claim is denied, then our persistent legal team will get to work on the appeal process and aggressively pursue the disability benefits you deserve.
Disabilities that Qualify for SSDI Benefits
There are a great number of medical impairments that can render you eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. However, the severity of your medical impairment must meet the criteria listed in 20 CFR Part 404. This list of medical impairments is commonly called the “Blue Book.”
Common medical impairments listed in the Blue Book include:
- Amputation
- Avascular Necrosis
- Bipolar depression
- Cerebral palsy
- Chronic heart failure
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Coronary artery disease
- Cystic fibrosis
- Diabetes
- Gastroparesis
- Immune disorders
- Inflammatory arthritis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Hemophilia or blood disorder
- HIV/AIDS
- Kidney disease
- Lung impairment
- Lupus
- Multiple sclerosis
- Mental disorders
- Parkinson’s disease
- Peripheral/Artery Disease
- Seizures
- Stroke
- Vision or hearing loss
Factors that Might Impact SSDI Benefits
Several factors can affect disability benefits and the amount a person receives. For example, if you receive SSDI benefits as a minor, then your benefits will be reevaluated when you turn 18 to determine how much you can collect as an adult. Additionally, if the medical condition you were approved under improves, then you can lose your ability to collect benefits. We are familiar with the various scenarios that might result in the loss of disability benefits, so please consult with us today so we can discuss your situation.

"Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case."I am so thankful that attorneys like Shea Crosby exist! Admittedly, I didn't know what I needed or wanted prior to my initial consultation with Shea. I had met or spoke with several other lawyers before meeting her. Each and every time I left feeling defeated, insignificant, or like a dollar sign. Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case. Her level of professionalism continued throughout the entirety of my case, which lasted just shy of ten months. Shea was always easily accessible through text, email, and phone calls. She fought for me, and my family, and she believed in me, even at times when others didn't. At the end of the day, Shea helped me negotiate an agreement which provided me and my family the relief and protections we NEEDED, and WANTED. I am so very grateful for her. It's not often one is sad when their legal proceedings have ended (when they've "won"). But that is exactly how I felt. Shea was my advisor, advocate, and by time it was over, I also considered her a friend. Her real world experience made her not only relatable, but often times my confidant. I highly recommend Shea Crosby to anyone needing a family law attorney.

"Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness"
I went to Stephen Fisher at Martin Attorneys, PA with a difficult situation in which I was trying to make an ex-spouse rise to a level of either upholding his commitments of our divorce decree in regards to our children or move on and stop causing emotional damage etc.
Mr. Fisher was extremely compassionate and also very resourceful in helping us all come to the table to find a solution that, while still in the trial period, allows an environment for both parents to flourish and to be given every reason and opportunity to believe that all efforts have been made on both sides of the table to provide the best outcome for those most vulnerable and important – our kids.
I will definitely seek Mr. Fisher’s legal advice for matters in the future and refer friend’s family and strangers to him and his office. 5 Stars all the way! -
"This was my first and only time to file for bankruptcy so I was completely unsure of the process and frankly, I was a little scared. When all was said and done, it was not so scary."They made a very unpleasant experience not so unpleasant. They kept me informed and weren't condescending if I didn't respond in a timely manner do to circumstances beyond my control, and it was over before I thought it would be. At age 56 this was my first and only time to file for bankruptcy so I was completely unsure of the process and frankly, I was a little scared. When all was said and done, it was not so scary.

"Very glad we went in to see them."They will definitely take good care of you. They are there for you not just the money. Very glad we went in to see them.
