If you can't work because of a medical condition, you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits — but getting approved is harder than it should be. Most first applications are denied. Nash Disability Law has spent over four decades helping people in exactly this situation navigate the Social Security system, fight denials, and win the benefits they've earned. Founder Tom Nash opened the firm in 1989 and has built a team of attorneys and intake specialists who know the process from first application to federal court appeal.
Nash Disability Law works on a contingency basis regulated by Social Security rules. You pay nothing upfront — attorney fees come from your back pay only if you win, and are capped by law at 25% (max $7,200). Your first evaluation is completely free.
Being unable to work because of illness or injury is already devastating — being denied the benefits you paid into makes it worse. Nash Disability Law has spent over 35 years doing one thing: helping disabled people in Illinois get Social Security benefits. That singular focus matters. The firm knows which medical evidence the Social Security Administration looks for, which arguments succeed at ALJ hearings, and how to build an appeal when the system has wrongly said no. Tom Nash has assembled a team with multiple attorneys and dedicated intake and case managers, so your case gets handled with structure and attention at every stage. The contingency fee arrangement means there's no financial barrier to getting help regardless of your current income.
Social Security disability attorney fees are strictly regulated by federal law. You pay nothing unless your case is won. The fee is 25% of your back pay award, capped at $7,200 — whichever is lower.
"I was denied twice on my own. I have lupus and couldn't work and was terrified. Nash Disability Law took my case, gathered everything, and represented me at the ALJ hearing. I was approved and received backpay going back two years. They changed my life."
"My mental health condition made it impossible to maintain employment but the Social Security Administration kept denying me. Nash Disability Law knew exactly which documentation to gather and how to present my case. Approved at the hearing. Grateful."
"After a serious back surgery I couldn't return to work. My first application was denied and I didn't know what to do. The Nash team walked me through everything, explained every step, and I never had to pay anything. Approved and receiving benefits."
Tell us about your situation. The Nash team will evaluate whether you have a viable disability claim and explain exactly what to expect. No cost, no obligation.
