Fact: The vast majority of Social Security and Disability claims are denied the first time around. The social security and disability system is laden with bureaucracy and red tape that triggers automatic denials of claims. Even if you are actually entitled to compensation you may be denied based on a technicality or inadvertent "wrong" answer.
We strongly advise that you seek the advice of an experienced social security and disability law professional should you encounter any denial of your compensation. They are private, and held in a small conference rooms, they generally last an hour or so. You will be asked about your training, daily activities, symptoms, education, limitations, and work experience.

Kenneth G. Marks was admitted to the California Bar in 1981 and has extended his practice into the area of Social Security Disability Law after working closely with a former Social Security Administrative Law Judge for his entire career. Personal injury law is another major area of practice and Mr. Marks brings his unique litigation skills to the Social Security Disability arena.
Social Security Disability Insurance is the most important type of Social Security disability benefit. It is paid to those who have worked in recent years (five out of the last ten years in most cases) who are now disabled. Supplemental Security Income benefits, however, are paid to those who qualify finacially and who are disabled.
SSI benefits provide income to a disabled person who meets the financial requirements of the Social Security System. There are very restrictive limitations on what assets you can have and what income you can make and receive these benefits. The benefits are designed for people who have no other income or support.
If you have worked and paid enough Social Security taxes and you are disabled, you may be entitled to SSDI benefits and a social security disability lawyer can help you through the process. The amount of these benefits will generally depend on what you have paid into the system through Social Security withholding taxes.
Whether it is a Title II SSDI claim or a Title XVI SSI claim, the first appeal available to a Social Security disability claimant who has been denied for benefits is the "reconsideration." In a reconsideration review, which is called a "paper review."
In other words, the only different between the review of the application in this process is that disability claims examiner at the DDS (Disability Determination Services) reviews your application and medical records with the help of a medical consultant.

Mr. Marks is an exceptional attorney and straight shooter providing you with realistic expectations of your case and guiding you every step of the way. His assistant Dee is fantastic as well in helping with the process. I greatly appreciate their genuine caring, honesty, and professionalism as they treated me like family. I cannot express how grateful I am to them for helping me get the disability benefits I desperately need since I'm no longer able to provide for myself after several injuries from a car wreck. .

If you are looking for a results oriented attorney to help you with your disability case, look no further. Mr. Marks represented me in two separate disability cases, SSI and SSDI. He helped me win appeals and ultimately I received a fully favorable decision on a 16-year-old disability case.
Without his professional guidance I would not have been successful. As good as Mr. Mark’s is, he couldn’t do it without his assistant Dee. She is great to work with and is always available to assist with any questions you may have.
That being said, I highly recommend Mr. Marks and his staff. Thank you

It is not only the positive result that we won the case that I feel Kenneth deserve all the credit, but from the first meeting I had with Kenneth to court appearance and receiving my first check.
He and his staff answered every question, answered my calls and were very helpful in every step of the process. I am glad I choose him to represent me and I highly recommend him.

Mr. Marks' law firm is very caring and professional. We have gone to their office on many occasions, with different legal matters and they have always given us their full, professional attention and we have received positive resolutions with each case. What stands out mostly, is Mr. Marks caring attitude. His office staff is also very efficient and kept us informed along the way.
I always recommend his law firm to family and friends.

Mr. Marks was instrumental in getting my SSI approved. The office runs like a well oiled machine and Dee will help you with the paperwork that may be required in your case.
I have been so happy with my attorney that I gave his name and number to my Multiple Sclerosis Support Group.
I recommend Mr. Kennett Marks...he understands and genuinely cares about his clients!

Mr. Kenneth Marks is not only a true professional, but he genuinely cares about your well being. My family and I came to him during a very stressful moment in our lives and he helped us tremendously and put our minds at ease. He is VERY easy to reach and is very good at answering your email in a timely manner (either the same day or the day after). He knows the system well and key people he needs to talk to about your case. His staff is also very helpful in obtaining medical records and are very kind. Mr. Marks is very honest and I appreciate that quality in him. He was able to represent me in
