The Most Common SSDI Mistakes—and How We Help You Avoid Them

Filing for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory. Between paperwork, strict guidelines, and long wait times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But if you live in the Minneapolis area and are thinking about applying, there are a few things you should know—and a local law firm that’s ready to help.
At Greeman Toomey PLLC, located at 250 2nd Ave S #120, Minneapolis, MN 55401, we work with individuals across Minnesota who are dealing with disabilities that make it hard or impossible to work. Our team of Minneapolis SSDI Attorneys has helped thousands of people navigate this process, and we understand how tough it can be.
The SSDI Process Isn’t Quick—But It Can Be Worth It
One thing we always tell clients is to be prepared for the process to take time. Even when you qualify, the Social Security Administration can take several months to respond to an initial application. Many applicants are denied the first time around—not because they don’t qualify, but because the application wasn't strong enough, complete enough, or clear enough.
That’s where working with an attorney can make a big difference.
How a Minneapolis SSDI Attorney Can Help
When you work with Greeman Toomey, you’re not just hiring someone to fill out forms. You’re getting a team that understands how the system works and how to position your application for the best chance at approval.
We help with:
-
Gathering proper medical documentation
-
Communicating with your doctors
-
Filling out forms accurately and thoroughly
-
Preparing appeals when necessary
-
Representing you at hearings if your claim is denied
Because we’re local to Minneapolis, we know the ins and outs of how claims are handled here, and we can often move the process forward more efficiently than someone doing it alone.
It’s Okay to Ask Questions
A lot of people are hesitant to contact an attorney because they think they’ll be judged or brushed off. That’s not how we work. Our team knows how personal and stressful this process can be, and we take the time to listen to your story and explain every step in plain language.
Whether you’re just thinking about applying or you’ve already been denied, we’ll meet you where you are.
