If you live in Halifax and you get Cunningham Law Group to help with your disability case, you’re getting someone with a deep commitment to our community and neighbors.
Joel Cunningham Jr. grew up in Halifax and still loves living here.
He continues a tradition of community service that he learned from his father, Joel C. Cunningham, who started his career as a lawyer helping people in our area with health problems, disabilities and financial struggles.
Joel C. Cunningham went on to serve as the first African-American judge in Virginia’s 10th Judicial Circuit.
Getting a lawyer with local ties and a mission to provide personal care to local residents makes your experience better when you apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, or appeal a denial.
Tell us about your caseWhen you have a hearing with an administrative law judge (ALJ) on appealing your Social Security Disability claim, usually your only choice is traveling to their office.
You have another, more comfortable option with Cunningham Law Group.
Our office in Halifax has a video hearing center that connects you to your judge.
This saves you travel time and lets you speak to the judge in a familiar, friendly setting.
Instead of going to a Social Security office in Danville, Farmville, Lynchburg, Charlottesville or Richmond, you can come here.
It’s understandable if you get nervous meeting a judge. With video hearings, we give you confidence and dignity.
We worked with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to establish the video center because we’re committed to doing everything we can to help you when you need benefits.
We’ll evaluate your case for free.The Social Security Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Charlottesville oversees cases from people who live in Halifax.
It should be simple to apply for Social Security Disability benefits, but it takes a lot of work and patience. The Charlottesville ODAR can take 18 months to process a case.
So anything that eases the process helps.
Numbers from the Social Security Administration have shown your chances of winning Social Security Disability benefits are better when you have professional representation.
