evidence used for my SSD claim

In order to be found disabled by Social Security, you must have a disability that has lasted, or is expected to last, for a period of at least 12 months and causes you not to be able to work at a substantial gainful activity level (which, for 2023, means earning $1,470.00 per month).

Social Security Disability Benefits

Yes. You can still work even if you have been found disabled by Social Security and still receive your Social Security disability benefits.

For 2022, you can earn $1,350 per month ($2,260 if you are blind) and still be eligible to receive your disability benefits. Social Security considers this level of earning substantial gainful activity (SGA). This amount is adjusted by Social Security annually. You should keep in mind that the Social Security Administration can bring your disability case up for...

Some courts have more cases than other courts have. Some judges only set hearings on certain days of the week. Some courts have more court reporters available for hearings that have to be on the record than other courts do. When there is more than one...

The first step in the process to get a divorce in Mississippi for an uncontested divorce, or one that is agreed upon by the parties, is to determine what will happen to all of the debts and assets of the parties and, if kids are involved, the custodial situation and child support obligations. Once these matters are determined, you and your spouse will file a joint petition for divorce and an agreed upon property settlement agreement, sometimes also called a marital dissolution agreement, which will set out who gets what property, who is responsible for each marital debt and who...

Lost wages

Absolutely.  If you miss work due to an injury resulting from a car wreck, slip and fall or other types of personal injury, you can seek recovery for your lost wages in your personal injury case. In order to do so, you simply need to notify your lawyer of the time you missed from work and your lawyer will tell you what documents to provide. You will likely need to send your attorney something like a pay stub showing your rate of pay. You or your attorney will then contact your employer to send a letter showing exactly how much work...
