How we work with Tucson clients
We do not have a Tucson office. You do not need one nearby. Case reviews, signing, and hearing preparation are done by phone, video, and our client app. Hearings are held by phone or video in many cases, and in person where that serves the case.

How a Tucson claim moves
- Application with Social Security online, by phone, or at a local field office.
- Initial decision by Arizona’s Disability Determination Services.
- Reconsideration. You have 60 days after a denial.
- Hearing before an administrative law judge. Social Security has a hearing office in Tucson, one of three in Arizona.
In our recent experience, hearings are scheduled about six months after the request is filed. Wait times change and are set by Social Security.
Who we help
- Workers denied SSDI at the initial or reconsideration stage.
- People with limited income appealing an SSI denial.
- Claimants 50 and older, where the grid rules may apply.
- Anyone with a hearing scheduled and no representative.
What we do
- File the appeal and confirm Social Security received it.
- Order records from your Tucson-area doctors, clinics, and hospitals.
- Send your doctors medical source statement forms.
- Prepare you for the judge’s questions and question the vocational expert.
