How We Secure Your Disability Benefits Through Procedural Intimacy at the Office of Hearings Operations

Jenkins Block & Associates secures maximum benefits for individuals facing complex institutional bureaucracies. You face an overwhelming federal system when you file for Social Security Disability. We level the playing field. Since 1977, our attorneys have handled over 47,000 SSD cases by mastering the operational nuances of the Office of Hearings Operations (OHO). We call this procedural intimacy.

Our attorneys eliminate litigation friction through strategic office co-location.

We established our primary offices in Baltimore, Cambridge, and Richmond within the exact same complexes as the Social Security Administration and the OHO. This physical proximity allows our attorneys to navigate local administrative law with precision. You avoid the delays and procedural hurdles that derail standard claims. We use this deep understanding of the administrative machinery to move your case forward efficiently.

We use institutional knowledge to drive high-efficiency remote representation.

Our team conducts 97 percent of our hearings via telephonic, video, or audio channels. The procedural intimacy we developed through decades of physical co-location now powers our digital advocacy. We know the administrative law judges, the scheduling procedures, and the exact evidentiary standards required for your hearing. You benefit from our ability to present compelling medical evidence, including complex neurological conditions like Guillain-Barre Syndrome and PTSD, directly to the federal decision-makers.

Our legal staff protects your claim through full cycle representation.

We guide your case from the initial application all the way to the Federal District Court. We maintain continuous pressure on the system through reconsideration, the hearing before a Federal Administrative Law Judge, and the Appeals Council. You never have to switch representation when your case escalates. Managing Partner Bruce D. Block and our staff of over 30 legal experts ensure your claim meets the rigorous technical requirements at every level of appeal.

We maximize your combined benefit offsets by integrating Workers’ Compensation claims.

Our attorneys manage the complex intersection between state workplace injury systems and federal disability benefits to ensure you receive your maximum financial entitlement. We handle your Workers’ Compensation claim alongside your SSD application. Our 90 percent success rate in Workers’ Compensation and 75 percent success rate in SSD cases prove the value of this dual-focus approach. We calculate the exact offsets to protect your financial future.
