When a disability keeps you from working, the paperwork alone can feel like a second full-time job. Our office is here in Clearwater on Ewing Avenue, a few minutes from downtown and the Cleveland Street District. Attorney Michael Mastrogiovanni has spent more than 20 years guiding Pinellas County neighbors through SSDI and SSI claims, from the first form to the final decision.

According to the Social Security Administration, only about one in five SSDI applicants is awarded benefits at the first stage. Most of our disability clients come to us overwhelmed by the forms or already holding a denial letter, and we can work with either. We know what the SSA's Clearwater-area offices and the Tampa hearing office expect to see in a file, and we build your medical evidence to meet it.

Help From the Office That Handles Your Case

Big disability mills advertise nationally and process claims from call centers. When you call us, you talk to the office that will actually handle your case. If you would rather sit down face to face, we're on Ewing Avenue near downtown Clearwater, with easy access from US 19 and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. Hearings for our area are usually held before Tampa-region administrative law judges, and Michael has appeared before them for years.

Whether You're Applying or Appealing

If you haven't applied yet, we make sure your application is complete and medically supported the first time. That includes protecting your "date last insured," a deadline many people in Clearwater don't learn about until it has passed. If you've been denied, we handle the reconsideration and take your case in front of a judge. You pay no fee unless you win.
