The Social Security Administration has a number of requirements you must meet before qualifying for Social Security Disability. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that pays you monthly benefits if you are insured under the program and become disabled before you reach retirement age and cannot work.
67% percent of claims for disability benefits are denied when initially submitted. Applications for SSDI can be denied for a number of reasons - filling out a form incorrectly, lack of medical evidence, failing to include important information, not keeping up with prescribed medical treatments, or earning too much money.

I highly recommend Lloyd Bemis to represent you in whatever legal endeavors you have with filing for Social Security Disability. I can personally vouch for his office because after years of trying for eligibility and being denied I finally found a lawyer who believed he could win my case. Don't get me wrong the road was long and hard but, Mr. Bemis… refused to allow me to give up when I grew weary and discouraged. Now, I'm smiling from ear to ear because the hard work and determination paid off. I cannot thank Mr. Bemis and his office enough. I was more than happy to write this very positive

My grandson has a mental illness that prevents him from obtaining and keeping a job, as well as fully functioning in daily life. We had applied for disability twice, and were denied. I was very distraught when I reached out to the law firm of Bemis, Roach, and Reed. Mr. Reed responded very quickly after reaching out to the firm, and began work on an appeal for my grandson immediately. Throughout the process, everyone answered all of our questions, were patient, kind, and understanding . We did win the appeal and had all of our questions answered.
I highly recommend this law firm.

BR&R was recommended to us by all three of the (other specialty) lawyers we asked: "Best in town," "THE ones to call." Greg Reed got our disability claim passed the first time (about 4 months). Advice: Get as much of your paperwork (EOBs, receipts, etc.) together beforehand as possible, and don't necessarily expect a whole lot of hand-holding while your claim is working through the process... but expect results! Thanks, Mr. Reed, for your great work.

We retained BRR Law back in early 2019 to assist us in my son's application for Social Security Disability benefits. This is a very laborious and tedious process, and our family lawyer recommended BRR because of their expertise. And I am so happy to have gotten the recommendation. BRR assisted us all the way thru the process, and in fact provided us with guidance throughout the entire 2+year process of application, appeal, hearing before an admin law judge, and finally a positive decision and approval of benefits. Cannot recommend BRR highly enough ... I a confident we would not have gotten the

I struggled with getting Social Security Disability benefits and tried to "follow the rules" by submitting myself multiple times with always the same result..denied. The team at Bemis, Roach & Reed took my case and was able to successfully persuade the SSA to award me the status that I deserved. You cannot go wrong in working with this firm. Amber is terrific.

I can't say enough about this law firm. From the very first call until my SSDI approval Eva Hernandez and her entire team were more helpful than I could have every imagined. Sure, I was fortunate to have all of my medical records accessible from the Veteran's Medical Centers in Boise and Austin. But I really believe that having their name on my initial claim as well as a case that was rock solid is what got me approved. I was imagining having to go through years of a battle with SSA. Looks like I hired the right law firm the first time. I am not being paid to say these things about Bemis, Roach

To the many peoples who have struggled to gain Social Security benefits. I highly recommend Bemis, Roach & Reed law firm. The professionalism of this law firm was absolutely exemplary. When all hope seemed loss in being awarded benefits, Mr. Roach and the staff would exude confidence in their ability to continue and persevere on my behalf. I've suffered a long and debilitating fight with SLE Lupus, which has crumbled my family's finances. Though I thought 25 years of work and paying taxes would easily yield Social Security benefits, I was naïve and wrong. After several failed attempt applying

Lloyd Bemis helped save my life! After battling with social security for two years, he represented me in my hearing and cited all of the evidence to support my disability right in my medical records. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or relatives! If you need someone to make sure that your case is heard, you won't find anyone better than Lloyd Bemis. Thank you Bemis, Roach, and Reed for being there for me!

I knew going into the SSDI process that I didn't want to go it alone. I had heard too many stories of denial of claims from people who I knew were living on the edge. Two out of the three stories I heard ended well once they hired someone to represent them and help them with the process. I tripped across Greg Roach and the law firm in a search… that also considered location, they were within walking distance of my home, although it turned out most of the documents were passed between us electronically, which was even better, so location isn't really an issue.

At first I was apprehensive about applying for SSDI. After visiting BR&R, they assured me that I had a good case and they would be with me every step of the way. Although I was denied at the application and appeal levels (which they told me was normal), I felt confident as we went to the hearing stage. I was well prepared for it. The lawyers at… BR&R made an excellent opening statement to which the law judge had no questions that he really needed to ask. After a year of being nervous, I was finally approved. I cannot thank everyone at BR&R enough for what they have done for me

I had a tough case with multiple neck and back issues. While I was facing and going through the surgeries, Greg Reed continued a long hard battle on my case. I am very thankful for winning my case. I also want to give big kudos to his assistant Monica who always took great care my needs and concerns. Mr. Reed is a straight shooter and I appreciate that. I would highly recommend him.

After consulting with his office today concerning disability issues - they're still the most knowledgeable, professional, compassionate & gracious people I've found anywhere.

This firm deserves nothing but five stars. Unfortunately, my family has had the pleasure of working with the firm of Bemis Roach & Reed twice in the last two years on disability cases. From the very first phone call, everything was handled through email and a few phone calls with complete professionalism, but more importantly, on a compassionate, personal level with my family. Trisha Wilson was such a blessing to work with. She was always available when I had questions, and explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. Both cases were approved the first time and in a swift manner

This was an absolutely ridiculous experience. I sent a message through the website portal (which I have requested a copy of, but they refuse to send) explaining that we wanted to talk to someone about getting my father on disability for alcoholic dementia. I received a message from an Intake Specialist which stated "The SSA does not recognize drug-induced mental health conditions as disabling." This is patently wrong and I cannot believe they are spreading this disinformation to people. It is absolutely true that you can get disability benefits for brain damage and emotional damage caused

Hopefully, you don't need it, but if you do need social security disability, please use Bemis Roach and Reed. Applying for SSDI is a humiliating experience, but Bemis Roach and Reed make the process easy and do everything for you. They are so knowledgeable of, what I consider to be, a scary process that is littered with traps so you don't get what you deserve. Bemis Roach and Reed know all the ins and outs so you feel taken care of. Thank you so much for everything!!

I chose Bemis, Roach, and Reed to represent me during my Social Security case, and I cannot express what a fantastic choice it was. Mr. Reed, and his associates, were incredibly knowledgable and answered all the questions I had along the way in a timely manner. It can be an overwhelming process, but having Mr. Reed represent me, really took the anxiety and uncertainty out of the process.

He and his paralegal, Craig Roach, were informative and highly responsive in helping on my arduous, painful and emotional journey to obtaining my Social Security Disability. I expected my first denial but truly felt it might come to a hearing in the end. Yet with the aid and diligence of these extremely well-versed, highly qualified individuals, I was able to receive my letter of award within ten months.

We met w/ Counselor Bemis and he told us our case would be an uphill battle but the goal was to win appeal before going to a hearing....that's exactly what happened. I can't give enough credit to their entire team. They shoot straight and what impressed me was their knowledge and experience in dealing with the red tape mess. I wish more people were as good as these folks! I would give them 6 stars if I could.

Mr. Bemis was great!!! He helped my husband get his appeal for SSDI overturned on the first go. I have been told that rarely happens, and it did for us.
