If you have filed a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim, or are considering filing for benefits because of a debilitating disorder or injury, there is something very important you have to keep in mind: Do not give up! I am attorney Richard Sly, and at my Social Security claims law office, I have helped hundreds of injured and disabled people successfully process initial claims and successfully appeal a claims denial.
If you are considering filing a Social Security Disability, Disability Insurance Benefit (DIB) or Social Security Income (SSI) claim, or if you have had your initial claim denied, contact the Portland Social Security disability attorney's offices of Richard A. Sly to schedule an appointment to meet with me. Let me help you get the benefits you have coming to you.

It was a natural evolution, as I was already engaging in trial work and injury work.
Clients should become as generally familiar with the laws as they can; they should more particularly be familiar as best they can with the legal issues they're currently dealing with. They must, however, be very careful not to assume that the legal knowledge they have is accurate or complete. Ideally, clients should get as much information as they can as a vehicle to use my more expert services.
Yes, often.
I do help those who need to represent themselves, but in a limited scope and cautious manner.

The experience of wandering around the earth...hitchhiking the world...has made me a more observant person in general. My professional experience also helps me.
I have the ability to create solutions and improvise (like a jazz musician) during the hearing and litigation process.
I'm improvisational.
Jazz and golf.
