About Balin Law, LLC

Since 1980, Balin Law has focused on Social Security Disability, SSI, Short- and Long-Term Disability claims. Balin Brings Benefits for complex cases and rare medical conditions, from application to appeals to civil action in Federal Court.

Balin Brings Benefits. Since 1980, Balin Law has represented disabled individuals throughout Ohio and across the U.S. in their pursuit of benefits from various federal programs and private insurance programs. We pride ourselves on our responsiveness, knowledge, and accessibility with 10 offices across Ohio, including Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, and Youngstown.

We handle SSDI, SSI, Short-Term and Long-Term Disability claims, from the initial application to appeals to Federal Court - we do it all. For over 40 years, we've represented tens of thousands of individuals with common disabling conditions such as back injuries to more rare conditions such as CRPS, RSD, trigeminal neuralgia (TN), Sarcoidosis, Vasculitis, EGPA or Churg-Strauss Syndrome, Long COVID, and more. We use the newest technology and computerized case management systems to handle your case with efficiency and accuracy. All claims are handled directly by Balin Law ensuring good communication and effective service. Schedule your Free Consultation today.

Thinking of filing a disability claim? Our legal team can help you file your claim at the initial level and fight by your side from the start of the application process to increase your chance of winning. Been denied Social Security disability benefits? We help clients appeal their cases. Did you know appealing a disability case creates a higher likelihood of winning rather than starting an application over? Having an experienced social security disability lawyer by your side can improve your chances of winning immensely. Don't wait. Balin Law gets the benefits YOU deserve!

Pay nothing up front out of pocket. We operate on a contingency fee basis, so we don’t receive any payment unless and until we win your case.

What You Can Expect:

We treat each client with respect and compassion. When we commit to a client's disability case, we carefully and tirelessly develop the administrative record. The process of filing for disability can be daunting and frustrating, so we will actually file the SSD application online for our clients. We will pursue the disability claim at the initial, reconsideration, and hearing levels as well as at the Appeals Council. We are one of the few firms which will litigate disability cases in Federal District Court where we have had a 75% win-rate. We stay in constant communication with the client. We provide solutions to disability-related problems that may come up in the disability process including referrals to facilities that can assist with securing housing and medical care. For example, if a claimant is facing foreclosure, we can submit a "dire need" request to have the court expedite the case. There is nothing better than wisdom borne of experience.

I really wish I would have had more patience and just waited out this disability decision. I worked in a medical office for over 15 years and filled out information for these claims. After hiring this firm, I found out that they had requested records and didn't get them because there was a fee. They never notified me of it or I would have paid for it months before I did....important records from my neurologist!! I finally contacted a state rep that is giving me help and keeping me informed.

Absolutely terrible. Worked with Julia Davidson as my case worker. Clearly she dosen't care at all. Lacked empathy or concern. No communication. Never responded well to my inquiries. After my initial application was denied they just left me hanging.
