Mid-Hudson lawyers. Plain talk. Real attorneys.

Dutchess County has a layered worker base — legacy tech and corporate workers, the Vassar Brothers and MidHudson Regional hospital systems, transit operators, and small-business trades. Our Poughkeepsie office handles all of it.

SSDI is a substantial part of our Poughkeepsie practice. Many clients are older workers whose physical conditions finally caught up — and the federal appeal process is unforgiving without a lawyer. We know the ALJs who hear cases out of this region. We know what the SSA wants to see in the medical record.
