Disability Lawyer in Salt Lake City
Supporting Salt Lake City Residents with Legal Representation
Salt Lake City is home to a diverse, fast-moving workforce, and when a disability removes you from that workforce, the financial impact can be quick and serious. Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits exist to provide a safety net, but the path to accessing them is rarely straightforward. At Giles Disability Law, we provide Salt Lake City residents with experienced, committed legal representation throughout every phase of the disability benefits process.
More than 70% of initial SSD applications are rejected by the Social Security Administration. Claimants who work with a qualified disability attorney are more likely to succeed at application, at reconsideration, and at hearing. Our attorneys provide:
- Clear guidance through the SSD and SSI application requirements.
- Thorough preparation of medical documentation that meets SSA evidentiary standards.
- Skilled representation at appeals and administrative hearings.
If you’re dealing with a disability and unsure where to begin, Giles Disability Law is a firm Salt Lake City residents can turn to.

How We Help With the SSD Process, Step by Step
Applying for SSD benefits can feel overwhelming, especially when every form, deadline, and document matters. Our team helps you stay organized and understand what to expect at each stage.
- Initial Application: We help put your claim together from the start, including medical records, work history, and other details SSA may need to review your eligibility.
- Reconsideration & Appeals: If your claim is denied, you still have options. We help review the decision, prepare the next filing, and keep your case moving forward.
- Hearing Representation: If a hearing is required, we help prepare your evidence and present your case clearly before an administrative law judge.
Our goal at every stage is to reduce delays and give your case the best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to file for SSD?
It’s not required, but the data speaks clearly: claimants with legal representation are significantly more likely to succeed, especially at the appeal and hearing stages. Given that most initial claims are denied, having an attorney in your corner from the start, or as soon as possible after a denial, is almost always worth it.
How much does a disability lawyer cost?
Our fees are entirely contingency-based. You pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs and no hourly billing — just a percentage of back pay if your claim is approved.
My claim was already denied. Is it too late?
Not at all. Many of our clients come to us after a denial, and we’ve helped a significant number of them turn into positive outcomes. The appeals process has multiple levels, and having the right legal representation at that stage makes a real difference.
