Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

At the law firm of Portland Social Security Disability and SSI attorney Richard A. Sly, we help clients in Oregon and Washington fight for and obtain the disability benefits they need to pay their medical bills, keep their homes and retirement accounts, and meet their daily living needs. Mr. Sly has practiced disability law for more than 30 years. He has handled thousands of claims, including hundreds of appeals before administrative law judges, the Appeals Council and the federal courts.

When the hour of "performance" arrives, we are ready. Portland SSD and SSI lawyer Richard A. Sly has fought for Oregon and Washington clients' rights for more than 30 years. We will work tirelessly to win the benefits you deserve the first time through by taking steps such as: getting timely and accurate information from your doctor; working with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation; and obtaining evidence from friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers.

If your claim is denied — as 65 percent of all new claims are — we will fight through each layer of the Social Security Administration's appeals process so you can obtain the benefits that are yours by right of law and by right of the money you have personally contributed to the system.

Practice Areas Description

The law firm of Richard Sly has provided legal services in the areas of Supplemental Security Income, Social Security disability and long-term disability litigation for over 30 years. Our areas of practice include:

- Disability Insurance Benefits
Disability monthly income benefits are available through both the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program and/or through the Social Security Administration Disability Insurance Benefit (DIB or RSDI) program.

- Process and Case Advancement Delay
Oregon's Social Security Administration (SSA) program is infamous for delays, as covered in depth by local newspapers, including The Oregonian. We can work with Social Security screeners to avoid delays and gain quick payment of benefits.

- Social Security Benefits Over 50 and Under 18
Social Security benefits criteria relax significantly for people over 50 and, for children under 18 years old, criteria is not limited to work-related limitations. Instead, minor children can be eligible for benefits based on socialization challenges. We are skilled in obtaining benefits for both age ranges.

- Social Security Benefits
Congress has mandated that Americans receive disability payments when they become disabled. We can help you receive the payment you need when you can no longer work.

- Qualifying Mental and Psychological Disorders
While people most often associate the word "disability" with physical ailments, a wide range of mental, emotional and psychological disorders can also qualify the sufferer for Social Security benefits.

- Physical Disorders
The Social Security Administration decides which claims qualify for benefits primarily on the basis of whether a medical condition prevents an individual from working. There are, however, medical conditions that can commonly lead to the granting of benefits.

- Social Security Appeals
Sixty-five percent of all Social Security benefits applications are denied. It is therefore essential that your Social Security disability law attorney be skilled and experienced in appealing your case. We have appealed thousands of Social Security cases since 1963.

- Long-Term Disability
If you are considering filing or appealing a Social Security Disability Insurance Benefit (SSD, DIB, RSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim, we can help. We can negotiate and litigate your case when you are disabled and benefit payments are not paid.
