Why Choose Sheryl Gandel Mazur?
A Former Social Security Staff Attorney — On Your Side
Attorney Mazur spent years working inside the Social Security Administration before dedicating her practice to representing claimants. She understands exactly how the SSA evaluates cases, what reviewers look for, and how to position your claim for the best possible outcome. That insider knowledge is available exclusively to her clients.
Over 40 Years of Dedicated SSDI Practice
Since founding her firm in 1987, Sheryl Gandel Mazur has focused exclusively on disability law. She has guided countless New Jersey families through initial applications, ALJ hearings, Appeals Council reviews, and federal court appeals — from Bergen County to Atlantic County and everywhere in between.
No Fee Unless You Win
You pay nothing unless we recover benefits on your behalf. Attorney fees are regulated by the Social Security Administration and only apply when you receive a favorable decision. There is no risk in calling us today — only the potential to finally get the benefits you’ve earned and deserve.
Costly Mistakes SSDI Claimants Make
Filing Without an Attorney and Getting Denied
Many applicants file on their own and make errors on forms, miss deadlines, or fail to include the right medical documentation. A single mistake can lead to a denial that takes months — or years — to correct through appeals. Attorney Mazur has guided clients through every step since 1987.
Giving Up After an Initial Denial
The majority of first-time SSDI applications are denied, even when the claim is strong and valid. Claimants who accept that denial and walk away leave life-changing benefits on the table. The appeals process exists for exactly this reason, and our firm is experienced at winning at every stage.
Missing the 60-Day Deadline to Appeal
You have just 60 days from a denial notice to file an appeal. Missing this window can permanently close your claim, forcing you to start the entire process over from scratch. Time is critical — contact our office immediately after any denial.
Choosing a General Attorney Over an SSDI Specialist
General practice attorneys and non-specialist advocates do not have the depth of knowledge required to effectively present a Social Security disability claim. Attorney Mazur’s entire career — including years as a Social Security staff attorney — has been devoted exclusively to disability law.
Why Specialized Representation Matters
✓ Understand the System From the Inside Out
Attorney Mazur’s experience as a former Social Security staff attorney means she has seen how the SSA reviews cases from the other side of the table. That institutional knowledge directly benefits every client she represents.
✓ Increase Your Chances of Approval
Represented claimants are significantly more likely to be awarded benefits, especially at the ALJ hearing stage. With skilled legal preparation, you avoid the most common errors that result in unnecessary denials.
✓ Focus on Your Health While We Handle the Legal Work
Applying for SSDI involves complex forms, strict deadlines, and extensive medical documentation. Attorney Mazur and her team manage the entire process so you can focus on what matters most — your health and your family.
✓ Representation at Every Stage, At No Upfront Cost
Because we work on a contingency basis, there is never a fee unless you win. The SSA strictly regulates attorney fees in disability cases — your only financial risk is not calling us sooner.
