Pueblo Social Security Disability Attorneys
Most initial Social Security Disability claims in Colorado are denied. The good news: claimants represented by experienced disability attorneys win far more often on appeal. We've helped Pueblo-area residents secure the SSDI and SSI benefits they earned.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Pueblo SSD lawyer cost?+
Social Security caps attorney fees at 25% of past-due benefits, currently up to a maximum set by SSA — and only if we win. No fee for ongoing monthly benefits.
How long does an SSDI claim take?+
Initial decisions typically take 3-6 months. If denied, reconsideration takes another 3-6 months and ALJ hearings often 12+ months. Persistence pays.
What conditions qualify for disability?+
Any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to last 12+ months or result in death and that prevents substantial gainful activity. Common claims include back injuries, mental health, autoimmune disease and cancer.
Can I work while applying?+
You can earn below SSA's Substantial Gainful Activity threshold ($1,620/month for non-blind in 2025), but earning more generally disqualifies you. Talk to us first.
