Social Security Disability Claims in Tennessee

If you are disabled because of illness or injury and are unable to work, you could be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. But getting SSD benefits is a long, complex, and challenging undertaking that can overwhelm you with paperwork, jargon, and deadlines. In fact, the requirements for Social Security Disability benefits are so stringent that about two-thirds of the folks who file claims are denied on their first try.

While you don’t have to have an attorney to file for SSD benefits in Tennessee, we always recommend that individuals seek the advice of a Social Security Disability lawyer before completing the initial application. Your free consultation gives us a chance to understand the complexities of your case and gives you an opportunity to decide if you’d like to work with us.

So contact us today to schedule an appointment. We’ll be with you at every step!

What People are Saying about Joyce & Bary Law

Mr. Joyce took a chance on representing me even though I was younger and at the time didn’t have a specific diagnosis for my debilitating chronic pain. I will always be grateful to him for that. His staff was very professional and helpful throughout the process and always answered my questions in a timely manner. Mr. Bary was very professional, caring, and always encouraged me to share the truth of my story at the hearing. His expertise was key in helping me get a favorable outcome.

ANGELA BAKER

I chose Joyce and Bary to represent me in my disability case and I am so glad that I did. I felt in the beginning that I could do this on my own. But in the end I am so glad that Mr. Bary was there to speak for me. Mr. Bary took control of the case. He knew how to counter back with the vocational expert. I was approved for my disability, and Mr. Bary is still there for me to answer any questions that I may have. He is the best and I would recommend anyone to him.

DIANA DEBORD

The care and concern that they had for me was great. From first working with Terry and then with Mr. Bary, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were there with answers to my questions and they always had the answers. Mr. Bary’s guidance through the whole process was great. There were no surprises for me because they had already filled me in on what the whole process would be. Hats off to the whole staff. I would recommend them to everyone.

Mr. Bary was outstanding. He was interested, attentive and extremely responsive. He let us know what to expect during each phase of the Social Security Disability claim process. I just received my letter stating my claim was fully approved, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to use Joyce & Bary. Well done and thank you!!!
