If you have been injured in an accident, become disabled and are unable to work, you need guidance from an experienced lawyer who can help you in filing a Social Security Disability claim. While working with an attorney is not required, you are more likely to get approved for benefits the first time you apply.
Walsh & Gaertner, P.A., is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, and represents clients throughout the Twin Cities with legal matters involving Social Security Disability benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
We have a proven track record and are committed to providing individualized attention to our clients. Our firm is led by a team of experienced lawyers who stand ready to advocate for your best interests.
Am I Eligible?
There are two types of income available under Social Security, which include:
- Social Security Disability Insurance: SSDI is available for individuals who have paid enough money into the Social Security program and have effectively proven a disability.
- Supplemental Security Income: SSI is a federal welfare program paid to individuals who are disabled. Qualified applicants must be disabled (under the disability definition of SSDI) and meet the income and asset requirements for the program.

We understand what needs to be proven and how to prepare application in the way that will likely result in our clients receiving the maximum amount of available benefits.
