Disability hearings for Tampa residents are held at Tampa's Office of Hearings Operations, and attorney Michael Mastrogiovanni has appeared before Tampa-area administrative law judges for more than 20 years. Whether you live in South Tampa, Ybor City, Town 'N' Country, or out toward Brandon, your case can be handled almost entirely by phone or Zoom. You can also meet us in person at our Clearwater office, just across the bay, whenever you like.

According to the Social Security Administration, only about one in five SSDI applicants is awarded benefits at the first stage. Appealing on your own means working through deadlines most people have never heard of. We have helped clients across Hillsborough County get the benefits they earned, from hospital workers along Kennedy Boulevard to warehouse and port workers near Ybor and the Port of Tampa.

Disability Is What We Do

Michael has handled disability cases for more than 20 years and represents claimants throughout the Tampa Bay area. He knows the medical evidence Tampa judges look for and how to work with your treating doctors, whether they are at Tampa General or one of the clinics along Fletcher and Fowler Avenue. He also knows how to present conditions that don't show up neatly on an X-ray.

Handled Remotely, With Every Deadline Watched

Most of a disability case is documents, phone calls, and preparation, so there is no reason to sit in I-275 traffic for it. We can handle everything remotely if that is easier for you. We never treat deadlines casually, because an appeal window or your date last insured can end a claim before it starts. Call for a free consultation and we'll tell you where you stand.
