Biography
Tampa Social Security Lawyer serving Tampa, Brandon, Lakeland Florida, David W. Magann practices in Social Security, Wills, Trust, and Personal Injury.
Because a Social Security claim is a Federal administrative claim, Federal law allows for less stringent representation guidelines than the State of Florida. Those who represent you in your legal proceedings up to the Hearing level may not be attorneys. Unfortunately, the less stringent Federal/administrative standards often mislead claimants regarding representative qualifications. When you hire David Magann to represent you, you can rest easy knowing that you have a qualified, real attorney fighting for you.
The Social Security Administration defines disability as the inability to engage in substantial, gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Even if you have not been disabled for 12 consecutive months you may apply for benefits.
