The Law Offices of Melanie Leavitt

Many disability advocacy groups advertising on TV and the Internet are not lawyers! If they use the word “advocate” to describe themselves they are not attorneys with degrees in law and are not licensed to practice law. At the Law Offices of Melanie Leavitt you will be represented by an experienced attorney licensed to practice law. In a time where 80% to 90% of Social Security Disability applications are denied, 6 out of 10 Social Security hearings end with a denial, having quality representation from a licensed lawyer is the key to proving a disability. It's much more complex than most and getting harder to prove.
