Madison Social Security Disability Lawyers
You paid in.
You were denied.
You deserve a fighter.
Getting a denial letter feels like a door slamming. You worked, you paid into Social Security, and now the benefits you earned are out of reach. It is frustrating, and it is exhausting when you are already dealing with a serious health condition. You do not have to face the appeal alone. Our attorneys handle the paperwork, the deadlines, and the hearing, so you can focus on your health while we fight for the benefits you are owed.

You Have Questions.
We Have Answers.
How much does a Social Security disability lawyer cost?
You pay no attorney fees unless we take your case and you obtain benefits. Social Security disability fees are set and capped under federal rules and come out of your back pay, so there is nothing to pay up front and nothing out of pocket to get started.
My disability claim was denied. Is it over?
No. Most claims are denied the first time, and a denial is not the final word. You generally have a limited window to appeal, so it helps to act quickly. Our attorneys handle the appeal, gather the right medical evidence, and represent you at your hearing.
How long does the disability appeals process take?
It depends on your case and the current backlog at Social Security, and it can take many months. We keep your file moving, track every deadline, and keep you updated at each stage so you are never left wondering where your claim stands.
What kinds of disability cases does Hawks Quindel take?
We focus on appealing denied Social Security disability claims and representing clients at hearings. Please note we do not handle initial SSDI applications or Social Security overpayment cases. If you have been denied and want to appeal, we would like to hear from you.
