The lawyers and professional staff at Drozdowski & Rabin, PLLC bring more than 100 years of combined legal experience for people with disabilities.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines disability as the 'inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity' due to a 'medically determinable physical or mental impairment.' In plain language, this means that one must be able to prove the seriousness of their condition using medical evidence.
When applying for disability, the first step is to determine your medical impairment(s). Your diagnosis, along with medical documentation, will be used to prove that your problems and limitations prevent you from working. Both physical and mental conditions are recognized by Social Security.
Some examples of potentially disability medical impairments include depression, bi-polar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and migraines.To learn more, visit our Types of Impairments page. Many clients find attending and administrative hearings and facing an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) for their disability case very stressful.

I struggled so much after losing my husband, still do. Here I found the most caring, heart warming experience. Emma and Grace made me feel like I wasn't alone. I will forever be in their debt. They listened to me cry my pain away and managed to be professional when it was needed. Highly recommended by me!!

When my dad had no other options and really needed a miracle Emma and Sami came to the rescue! Both have been great! Sami goes above and beyond and still checks in with us just to ask how my father is doing! She stays on top of things and I am so thankful for them reaching out when we really needed someone on our side! They took my dad's disability seriously and made sure he got the financial help and medical help he needed! I suggest these two wonderful professional ladies to any and everyone because I know they'll be in good hands! The company has some pretty great team members!

After the initial application was done by them, everything came to me from the state. I received questionnaires from the state that had to be back in their office quickly. I called Drozdowski & Rabin and was told to E-mail it in and someone would get back to me. No one ever got back with me so I had to fill it out without help and send it in. People from the state called me and questioned me a couple of times. I tried to reach out to my so-called Representatives, which never called me back. I received an appointment from the state, called Drozdowski & Rabin, no one called me back. After the appointment

Everyone was so nice and professional! I was denied and working on my 2nd Disability case on my own, but Emma Drozdowski came to my rescue! She saved me! I will never forget her and the professional, straightforward way in which she spoke to me. It was just what I needed. Dronzdowski & Rabin, PLLC. have earned my respect! I highly recommend this firm, give them a chance to win your case, like they did for me!

I am beyond grateful to have had Emma as my attorney! She has treated me with so much respect and been there every step of the way. She has went above and beyond to do what she says she will do and more than what she has to. I can honestly say that I would not have gotten through this overwhelming process without her. She is still a call away if I have a question. A 5 star review falls short to my experience!

True professionals. Emma’s work, and that of her team, is excellent. I have known her for almost 20 years, as a classmate, then as a colleague, and then as someone needing her professional guidance in this niche area of law. SSD/SSDI is a complex field of law, and not one that I had much involvement with as a defense attorney. Her experience in accomplishing approval at the initial level is amazing. I urge others, whether you think you may have a valid claim or not, to please consult with Emma to help you to evaluate your options. Emma and her team were very gracious and understanding. Thank

Emma was very informative about everything that I’ve ask her. When I called her, she didn’t wait 24 hours sometimes she got back to me in a timely manner. Emma is the best! Five people recommended her to me and now I see why! She goes above and beyond for her clients! 😊

After my last council advised in early January to drop my case after 2 years and a court date in March. I called Drozdowski & Rabin sobbing, requesting their help. Emma took on my case & did an amazing job. My March court was postponed due to COVID-19. It was rescheduled for July & I was awarded my disability. I thought that would be it for my communication with Emma. Then I got a call from her & she helped me pick the right medical plan for my issues & needs.
I can't say enough about the wonderful service I received!
