What We Do to Support You.

Social Security / SSI Disability Claims

The Social Security Disability Insurance program (SSDI) and the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) are federal programs intended to help people who are unable to work due to their medical condition.  Unfortunately, many people throughout Mississippi and Alabama are initially turned down when they apply for disability benefits, even though they actually do qualify.  If Social Security has denied your application for disability benefits, don’t give up! Let us help you.

A Social Security disability case is very different from other legal matters. The laws, regulations, and procedures for Social Security disability and SSI claims are extremely technical, and require detailed legal knowledge.  If you are applying for Social Security disability or SSI, or if you have been denied benefits, we have the experience and expertise you need.  We know the process, the paperwork, and the very specific Social Security disability rules and regulations.

There is no “up front” cost for us to take your case.  There is only a fee when you receive Social Security disability benefits.  We work extensively in person, over the phone, and through the mail during the initial phases of your claim.

General Criminal & DUI Defense

In addition to our General Criminal Defense, our firm defends drivers, period.  If you were pulled over, got in an accident, or been arrested while driving, we can help. We also help you get your driver’s license back if it has been suspended or revoked.  The firm will work to remove the mystery surrounding traffic and criminal defense.  

When you hire our firm, we are committed to providing you the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding your case. We work hard to understand your unique situation and achieve the best outcome for you. 

Our firm believes in the team concept and our attorneys meet weekly to discuss all of our cases. That means you get the full experience and insight of all firm attorneys when you hire Coastal Disability Services.

 We work together to ensure that you receive an aggressive and creative approach to your case. Everything we do is designed to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

There is no consultation fee for criminal or DUI matters, however we do require a flat fee for representation.
