Goldsmith for their legal needs when it comes to their long term disability needs (whether it be a long term Social Security disability claim or Personal Injury claim) for more than 34 years. Unfortunately, dealing with the Federal Government or an insurance company can be quite stressful, but becomes even more stressful when you have your hands full simply attempting to get your family and you back on your feet following long term illness or injury. We understand that you have enough to worry about with your medical treatment and financial concerns, and with that in mind, we work with you each step of the way to ensure that everything which can be done, is being done, to obtain for you the best possible result.

Assuming your case needs to go to hearing, Attorney Goldsmith will be the one preparing you for hearing and holding your hand each step of the way during the hearing process.

From the moment you contact our office, you’ll see that we do our homework. We will spend a good amount of time getting to know who you are and what you’ve been going through: we will explain as well what needs to happen next for your claim so your expectations can be properly set and me. Should it be that we are moving forward with an initial application for Social Security disability benefits we will work with you to ensure that your application is complete and appropriately addresses all issues that will be important to your case.

We will ensure that you are receiving the appropriate treatment for the severe medical conditions that are impacting your ability to function. There are a number of resources available in the community for free medical assistance, including through Southern Maine Healthcare so as to ensure you’re receiving the medical treatment you require both for you personally, as well as for your claim. Options do remain available for interim forms of assistance through the City of Sanford Transitional Assistance Office.
