Services
When you become disabled and need Social Security Disability (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you may suddenly begin to notice radio commercials, newspaper advertisements and Internet advertisements for "nationwide" Social Security Disability law firms and advocates. You wonder whether you should answer these advertisements to get help with your own application for DIB and/or SSI benefits.
When you entrust your Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income application or appeal to the disablity lawyers at Smith Godios Sorensen Inc., we want you to understand that we are sincere when we say that our goal is your success. Our Social Security law practice is all about building a strong case for you to receive deserved disability benefits.
At the Akron, Ohio law offices of Smith Godios Sorensen Inc., we take our obligation to give back to our community serioiusly. Our law practice has grown and thrived in large part through our interaction with many other people, especially our clients. Participation at charity events benefiting worthy causes such as the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association.
Do you believe that you are unable to work? Are you currently treating with a physician or other health care worker? If you answer yes to these questions, then you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits. Along with SSI disability, Social Security Disability is the main area of practice for our lawyers.
Were you denied in your application for Social Security Disability (SSD), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Veteran's Disability? We can help you appeal that decision. It can be a complicated process, so having our lawyers represent you helps make sure you're following the right process.

Our disability lawyers have successfully represented thousands of clients like you in front of Social Security's Administrative Law Judges in Akron, Ohio and Cleveland, Ohio.We would be happy to help you as well. For Social Security appeals, the process for obtaining SSD or SSI benefits can often involve multiple appeals.

I had the best experience with SGS. It was so easy on me to just turn everything over to them and let them do all the work. It only took about 4-5 months before I was approved, without going to court. I friend of mine recommended them to me and I highly recommend them to you.

After being denied SSD, they were able to get my claim approved in only a few months. Even during this pandemic I received in-person, courtesy and professional help from attorney Shannon Sorensen and the whole team . I’m so glad I called Smith Godiva Sorensen

I found Attorney Scott Smith and his staff very reseptive, professional, respectful and supportive. They responded to my inquiry quickly, stepped me through the process, gathered all my information and needed records in a timely manner, answered all my questions and gave me an idea of the timeline for describes and process in which I was involved.
I would highly recommend working w Attorney Smith and staff for a legal consultation.

I worked with attorney Scott Smith. Was very professional when I needed him to be and a friend when I needed him to be a friend. Tammy was outstanding and gathering all the medical records and any information that needed to be there she had it. Get together work diligently on my case to help me with my disability. I highly recommend talking to these two if you are in my shoes and disabled or have some type of other disability. I cannot say enough kind words about this law firm and how they treated me ultimately for the success of my case. Even after the case is over and you've won or lost they

I highly recommend Smith Godios Sorensen, Inc.. I don’t know what they did or how they did it but they got my disability approved on the first try, where I expected it to take several appeals. Shannon Sorensen and Amanda where great to work with. Thank you for helping my family.

It surely was a long haul but well worth it. Up front and honesty was what kind of service was given. Always returned my phones calls promptly and called to check on me.
Thank you again
