“It’s All We Do”
asheville social security disability

If you are unable to hold down a regular job because of physical, mental or emotional problems or disabilities, you may be eligible to receive your Social Security benefits now.

It is common to be turned down when you first apply.  But, do not be discouraged!  Susan Chitwood Barton and Holly Fairbairn have helped thousands of people who were denied get the help they deserve.

Why do you need a lawyer?  The laws and policies that govern Social Security would fill a room if all the pages were printed out.  We work with those laws everyday and have learned the ins and outs of the program.  Your chances of winning could improve as much as 50% by hiring an attorney, according to national statistics.

Is it expensive?   We don’t get paid unless you win.  In most cases, we can cover the costs involved, such as for ordering records, until you have your money in hand.  And to meet with us is free.

Why our firm and not the others?  We have dedicated our careers to helping people win their Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid cases.  Susan Chitwood Barton and Holly Fairbairn began practicing law in legal services offices, Susan in 1981 and Holly in 1997.  They are both formerly of Ganly, Ramer and Strom.  For years, Susan and Holly have been winning Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid cases with thoughtful preparation, careful study, and concern for each client.  Now in their own practice, they have assembled a special staff—experienced paralegals and two former managers of Social Security offices.  This team is unique!
