Our Mission

Stephanie and Joy Disability are committed to fighting for hard working people to win the benefits they deserve. She is compassionate with her clients and unrelenting in pursuit of the rightful benefits her clients deserve. Whether the job can be accomplished in 2 months or 2+ years, Stephanie sticks by her team, which includes her disabled client, through the thick and the thin, in pursuit of prevailing.  There are sprints and there are marathons, and she loyally continues to work as diligently on a marathon case as she does on a sprint.

Stephanie has been practicing law  for 26 years and decided to devote her entire practice to the area of Social Security Disability Insurance benefits for over 16 of those years.  As one of the leading practitioners in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Stephanie has built a reputation for compassionate and effective representation of her clients. She is highly knowledgeable about the complicated and bureaucratic social security system and has developed strong relationships inside the system and outside of the system.

 

In addition, Stephanie and staff work as a TEAM with each client, so your claim is always developed to the fullest extent possible, for the highest chances of winning.  And, we take the hassle out of dealing with the SSA - if you receive a letter or a call from the SSA, you simply call us (or email, message via your free MyCase portal or text!), so we are on the same page, and we will handle it.  You need not deal with it.
