How Bruce D. Block modernized institutional advocacy for disability claimants
Jenkins Block & Associates (JBA) is a private professional corporation specializing in Social Security Disability and Workers’ Compensation law. Founded in 1977, the firm secures maximum benefits for individuals facing complex institutional bureaucracies. Managing Partner Bruce D. Block began practicing with the firm in 1980 and pioneered a system that handles over 47,000 Social Security Disability cases with a 75 percent success rate.
Bruce D. Block transformed local practice into federal appellate authority
Block joined the firm forty-five years ago. He built a legal framework that integrates Workers’ Compensation claims with Social Security Disability appeals. The federal government and insurance bureaucracies operate massive, impersonal systems that overwhelm unrepresented claimants. Block designed a methodology to counter this imbalance. He established sustaining memberships in the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR) and engineered a practice that now achieves a 90 percent success rate in Workers’ Compensation cases.
Strategic co-location minimizes litigation friction for vulnerable claimants
Jenkins Block & Associates intentionally places physical offices within the same complexes as the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Office of Hearings Operations (OHO). Our attorneys use proximity-driven litigation to create procedural intimacy with local administrative law judges. The firm maintains primary offices in Baltimore, Cambridge, and Richmond. By utilizing this geographic footprint, attorneys navigate nuances that distant firms miss. A claimant battling Guillain-Barre Syndrome or PTSD faces enough obstacles. We eliminate logistical barriers to directly improve the probability of a favorable decision.
Full cycle representation protects critical benefit offsets
The legal team handles cases from the initial application through the Reconsideration stage, the hearing before a Federal Administrative Law Judge, the Appeals Council, and finally the Federal District Court. Attorneys utilize full cycle representation to prevent strategic errors early in the process from destroying claims later. You need deep expertise in benefit offsets when receiving both Workers’ Compensation and SSDI. Our attorneys calculate these intersections to ensure clients retain the maximum combined compensation allowed under federal law.
Remote representation infrastructure secures national reach for Mid-Atlantic clients
The firm transitioned its strategic physical presence into a high-efficiency remote representation model. Today, JBA handles 97 percent of hearings via telephonic, video, or audio formats. We use this operational strategy to bring elite legal representation to Wounded Warriors and severely injured workers without forcing them to travel. Bruce D. Block recognized that modernization requires adapting to the court’s technological shifts while maintaining the rigorous standards of federal appellate work.
Contingency fee structures guarantee access to aggressive legal advocacy
Clients pay nothing unless they win their case. You secure decades of specialized expertise without upfront financial risk. When you face an institutional bureaucracy that denies valid medical claims, you need a proven legal strategy. Contact Jenkins Block & Associates to initiate your claim and secure the benefits you deserve.
