Social Security Disability Lawyer Serving Clinton, NC

At the Law Office of Allen David Smith, located at 309–315 Person Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301, we proudly represent clients throughout Clinton and Sampson County. Our firm focuses exclusively on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases. We understand the deadlines, the evidence required, and the appeals process, and we know how to fight for your rights.

If you live in Clinton, NC, and have applied for Social Security Disability, you already know how overwhelming the process can be. Many applicants file complete applications only to receive a denial letter in the mail. Unfortunately, most first-time disability claims are denied. This doesn’t mean you don’t qualify—it often means the Social Security Administration needs more proof, better documentation, or legal representation to understand your case.

Call us today at 910-484-8196 for your free case review.

Helping Clinton Residents Through the Disability Process

Disability claims require more than simply filling out forms. Applicants must prove that their condition prevents them from working, and that often involves complex medical evidence, financial documentation, and strict compliance with SSA rules. For people already coping with serious health issues, this can feel impossible to manage alone.

That’s where our firm comes in. We take on the burden of preparing your claim, reviewing your medical records, and making sure all requirements are met. From the first application to federal appeals, our mission is to provide steady, knowledgeable guidance so you can focus on your health.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Support

Not everyone has the work history needed for SSDI. For residents of Clinton who are disabled and have limited income, SSI benefits may be the right path. SSI applications can be just as complex, requiring detailed financial and medical evidence.

At Smith Dempster P.A., we help clients determine if they qualify for SSI, prepare the required paperwork, and represent them through the entire process. If your SSI claim has already been denied, we can review the denial and pursue an appeal on your behalf.

Disability Claim Appeals in Clinton

Receiving a denial letter does not mean your case is over. In fact, many claims are approved on appeal when applicants have proper representation. If your claim is denied, you typically have only 60 days to file an appeal, which makes quick action critical.

We represent clients at every stage of the appeals process, including

  • Requesting Reconsideration of Denied Claims
  • Hearings Before Administrative Law Judges

Our job is to make sure mistakes are corrected, missing information is supplied, and your case is fully presented.
