Social Security Disability lawyers in Newburgh.

If you’ve been denied — yes. Roughly 65% of initial SSDI applications are denied in New York. The denials get reversed at the ALJ hearing stage at much higher rates when claimants have an attorney. The fee is capped by federal law and paid only out of back-pay if we win.

Most claims take 12–24 months to resolve when they go through the full appeals process. The federal ALJ hearing backlog determines the timing — and our Newburgh office serves the regional hearing location for that area. We tell you what to expect at intake.

Yes. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism spectrum, and other mental-health conditions can support SSDI claims. The key is consistent treatment records and a doctor willing to document functional limitations. Our Newburgh attorneys handle mental-health SSDI claims regularly.

Yes — the WC/SSDI offset rules can reduce one or the other depending on your circumstances. The combined total cannot exceed 80% of your pre-disability earnings. Coordinating both claims is critical, and our Newburgh office handles both practices in-house.

It depends on your work history. SSDI requires that you’ve paid Social Security taxes — which many undocumented workers do, even though they may not be able to collect. If you have a SSN and have paid into the system, you may be eligible. We screen this confidentially.

Nothing upfront, and federally capped if we win. The Social Security Administration caps attorney fees at 25% of back-pay, with a hard dollar cap. We get paid only if we win, only from back-pay, never from your future monthly benefits.
