Social Security Disability Lawyers in Dayton, OH

Rebecca R. Fate
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
& Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Attorney
Rebecca went from hardship to Harvard Law School. Now she helps disabled people get the benefits they need.
From a working-class background and the first in her family to graduate from college, Rebecca attended the University of Central Florida on a full scholarship. After graduating top of her class, she went to Harvard Law School (where she also graduated with honors). She immediately left for a national law firm known for its commitment to providing top-notch legal aid to both major corporations and individuals in need. Indeed, that firm represented the last Social Security claimant to reach the Supreme Court in Biestek v. Berryhill. She joined Donoff & Lutz, LLC (formerly M. R. Donoff & Associates) so that she could dedicate herself fully to helping those in need.
Rebecca works hard for her clients. She understands how much it matters for people to get their benefits. And she provides compassionate counsel to clients throughout the process. Rebecca’s goal is not just to win your case, but to help you navigate the maze with confidence. Since Rebecca has joined the firm—at which point she immediately led the firm’s appellate practice—the firm has won every appeal filed in federal court. Indeed, the National Association of Social Workers Ohio Chapter welcomed Rebecca (with Zachary) to speak to Ohio’s social workers about Social Security disability claims. After spending COVID quarantine in Centerville-Washington Township, Rebecca now lives in Miami Township, Ohio, and on weekends she is usually walking her dog on the river in Miamisburg, through the quaint neighborhoods of Oakwood, or in Kettering’s beautiful Hills & Dales Metropark.
