Disability Claims Serving Families Across Nevada, Including Las Vegas, Northern Nevada, and Rural Areas.

Disability Lawyer in Las Vegas

Social Security Disability Law, Start to Finish, Since 1973

Welt Law practices primarily in Social Security disability law. Attorneys Gerald M. Welt and Tiffany Welt Doctors have been handling SSDI and SSI claims since 1973, building more than 40 years of experience in a field where procedural knowledge and medical evidence strategy directly affect outcomes. Las Vegas claimants who come to us get attorneys whose professional focus is on this work, not a general practice firm where disability is one of a dozen areas.

Nevada has no state disability program. Every Las Vegas resident who can’t work due to a medical condition must navigate one or both of the federal programs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), through the Social Security Administration. Most initial applications are denied, which makes experienced legal representation at every stage consequential.

We offer a free initial consultation to prospective clients and handle the vast majority of cases on a contingency fee basis, with fees paid directly from past-due benefits by the Social Security Administration. Call (702) 842-0901 to speak with our team.

Disability Claim Services from Application Through Appeal

Claimants come to us at every stage of the process. Whether you haven’t filed yet or you’ve already received a denial, we can step in and help move your case forward. Our representation covers:

  • Eligibility assessment: We evaluate your medical condition, work history, and financial situation to identify which program or programs apply to you and whether your condition is likely to meet the SSA’s definition of disability.
  • Initial application: We help you complete and file your application accurately. Errors and omissions in the initial filing are among the most common reasons for early denials.
  • Medical evidence gathering: We collect treating physician records, diagnostic results, and functional assessments to build a documented record of your condition.
  • Government and insurance document review: We analyze statements and forms from the SSA and any involved insurance companies on your behalf.
  • Hearing preparation: When a case reaches the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing stage, we prepare you for what to expect and how to present your condition effectively.
  • Appeals representation: If benefits are denied at any stage, we handle the appeal, including reconsideration, ALJ hearings, Appeals Council review, and federal court if necessary.

Start Your Disability Claim with a Free Consultation

Getting started costs you nothing. We offer a free initial consultation to prospective clients, and because we work on a contingency-fee basis, there are rarely any out-of-pocket costs. Fees come from past-due benefits if your claim is approved, paid directly to us by the Social Security Administration. We guide clients through every step, from the initial application to a potential appeal.

Why Choose Welt Law?

Why Las Vegas Clients Choose Welt Law

Social Security disability law is our primary focus. Our practice is concentrated in SSDI, SSI, and guardianship law, which means the experience Gerald M. Welt and Tiffany Welt Doctors bring to every case is specific to the regulations, procedures, and SSA processes that govern these claims. That depth of focus, built over more than 40 years since the firm’s founding in 1973, isn’t distributed across unrelated practice areas.

Clients work directly with our attorneys. We engage personally with each case rather than delegating to support staff, so you have knowledgeable guidance from the people who know your file at every stage of the process.
