I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Bendel on two occasions, and both experiences were exceptional.
Joseph assisted me first with a complex homeowner’s insurance claim, and his expertise and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier.
Later, I turned to him for legal guidance in starting my business in Florida, and once again, his insight and attention to detail were invaluable.
Joseph is not only knowledgeable but also approachable and always ready to answer any questions.
I highly recommend Bendel Law for anyone seeking skilled and dependable legal counsel!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right now if I need help getting approved for SSDI?
Contact our office for a free consultation. We’ll review your situation, explain your options, and walk you through the next steps—whether you’re applying for the first time or appealing a denial.
How can an attorney like Joseph help with my SSDI claim?
Joseph will handle the paperwork, gather medical evidence, meet deadlines, and advocate on your behalf at every stage—from initial filing to appeals. Having experienced legal support dramatically improves your chances of approval.
What happens if my SSDI application is denied?
Don’t panic—most initial applications are denied. Joseph will evaluate the reason, strengthen your claim, and represent you in the appeals process, including at administrative hearings if necessary.
How much does it cost to hire Joseph for my SSDI case?
There are no upfront fees. Joseph only gets paid if you win, and his fee comes from a portion of the backpay awarded—never your ongoing benefits.
Who qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits?
To qualify, you must have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least 12 months (or is terminal), and you must have earned enough work credits through Social Security.
Can I apply for SSDI if I’m still working part-time?
It depends on how much you're earning. If your income exceeds a certain monthly limit, the SSA may deny your claim. Joseph can help assess your eligibility and guide you through any gray areas.
How long does the SSDI process take?
Timelines vary, but initial decisions typically take 3–6 months. If your claim is denied and goes to appeal, the process can take much longer. Having an attorney helps avoid unnecessary delays.
What documents do I need to apply for SSDI?
You'll need medical records, work history, and personal identification. Joseph will help you collect and organize everything you need for a strong application.
What’s the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI is for workers who’ve paid into Social Security through their jobs, while SSI is a need-based program for those with limited income and resources. Joseph can help determine which you may qualify for—or if you’re eligible for both.
