The Law Offices of John T. Nicholson is an established practice helping people in Ohio and throughout the region obtain Social Security Disability (SSD) and other disability benefits.<\/p>

We take a personal, hands-on approach to helping people struggling with physical and mental disabilities understand their options, navigate the application and appeals process, and ultimately obtain the benefits they need to cover expenses and maintain their independence and dignity.<\/p>

The Information And Resources You Need To Get The Benefits You Deserve<\/h2>

If you are struggling with a disability, have worked five of the past 10 years, paid your taxes and meet the various other qualifications, you likely qualify for benefits. The problem is obtaining them.

That's where we come in. The Law Offices of John T. Nicholson can help you at all points in the process. Whether you're exploring your options and need help filing an application<\/a> or you have been denied once or even twice, we are here, ready to guide you.<\/p>

Below are just some of the ways we can help clarify and address issues as you pursue SSD benefits:<\/p>
