Joan Birmingham

Attorney at Law,
Registered Nurse
whose sole practice area is Social Security Disability claims.

“Would you ask your family doctor to perform brain surgery?

So why have a general practice lawyer perform my area of expertise? Anybody can make a phone call but it takes a specialist to know who to call and what to ask. I am up to date on current regulations and upcoming changes. As a registered nurse and an attorney, I understand medical conditions and can effectively present your case to the court.”

I provide personal assistance and individual attention.
My staff is knowledgeable and experienced.
Our fees are contingent on winning your case-if we don't win, there is no fee.
