Our Mission
Obtaining disability benefits can seem like a hopeless task. Social Security personnel can be cold and unhelpful. You are asked to complete complicated forms and supply information you may not have. The process can drag on and on, and at the end there is still a chance your claim will be denied. But you should not give up hope. With the right legal representation, there is still a very good chance your claim can be approved. Social Security's own statistics show that a claimant has a better chance of getting approved when they are represented by an attorney.
Chihak & Gustad is a law firm dedicated to helping people obtain the disability benefits they deserve.
We are compassionate attorneys who believe in you and your claim. We are also determined advocates who will challenge the bureaucracy and work to achieve an approved claim for you.
We Understand the System
Chihak & Gustad has helped thousands of people obtain Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. We understand the claims system and how to overcome the many roadblocks that stand in the way of a claim approval.
We represent people at all stages of the process — from initial application to appeals in federal District Court. Our experience enables us to identify potential problems regarding claims and take the necessary steps to overcome those problems.
Our goal in your case will be to obtain the disability benefits and medical coverage that can help you live a better life.
We Will Stand Up for You
Chihak & Gustad has a network of doctors and medical specialists who can provide the records and opinions that support your case. We also know how to use this information to challenge the assertions of the Social Security Administration's doctors and vocational experts. This includes challenging cases involving chronic pain and other hard to measure symptoms.
Throughout the process, we will work to keep your claim on track and keep you informed of developments in your case.
Chihak & Gustad will be with you all the way. We want to help you obtain the benefits that you need and deserve.
