Social Security Disability Benefit Programs

Winning Social Security Disability Lawyer — Dayton, OH — Donoff & Lutz, LLC

We handle all types of Social Security disability claims.

Social Security disability is what we do. Except for family matters and pro bono work—and even our pro bono work focuses on veterans disability benefits—we do nothing else. We proudly can take harder and technical claims. We give our full attention to disability claimants: we do not exile these claims to case managers in satellite offices.


Donoff & Lutz, LLC represents people applying for all types of Social Security disability programs, including:

We’ve even litigated particularly technical claims related to auxiliary benefits, and consulted on claims for railroad retirement benefits and NFL disability benefits when Social Security disability law becomes relevant. While we have ample experience with continuing disability review (CDR) and overpayment cases, we generally only consider these cases for former clients.

We represent all claimants.

We firmly believe that everyone deserves the right to representation. Rich or poor, young or old, housed or transient, and even if you may made some mistakes in your life: We are happy to talk.
