Introduction
A 98.01 percent settlement rate across more than 4,620 cases documents the effectiveness of Cannon Disability Law’s approach to Social Security disability representation. The firm, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has spent 30 years practicing exclusively in Social Security disability law, winning over 20,000 cases and recovering more than $100 million in past-due benefits for clients who had often been denied once or multiple times before finding the firm. Lead attorney Dianna Cannon holds the Certified Elder Law Attorney credential and teaches Disability Law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, combining academic engagement with an active caseload that spans five Western states.
The firm serves clients in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, and California from offices in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Attorney fees are charged only when benefits are won, capped by federal law at 25 percent of past-due benefits or $9,200, whichever is the lesser amount. Free consultations are offered, and the firm will travel to meet clients throughout its service area at no additional charge.
Practice Areas
SSDI Applications: The firm assists clients in filing Social Security Disability Insurance benefit applications, helping ensure that supporting medical documentation, work history, and legal arguments are properly presented from the initial filing stage rather than left to be corrected on appeal.
SSI Applications: The firm handles Supplemental Security Income applications for clients whose income and assets fall within the program’s limits and whose medical conditions prevent substantial gainful activity.
Physical Conditions: The firm handles disability claims based on a comprehensive range of physical impairments including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome, among others.
Mental Health Conditions: The firm represents clients whose disabling conditions include depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders. Mental health disability claims require specific evidentiary support that the firm knows how to develop and present.
Disability Appeals: Many valid disability claims are denied at the initial application stage. The firm handles appeals at every level of the administrative process, including reconsideration, hearings before administrative law judges, the Social Security Appeals Council, and federal district court.
Federal Court Appeals: When administrative remedies are exhausted without a favorable outcome, the firm pursues claims in federal court, seeking judicial review of the administrative decision.
Hearing Preparation: The hearing before an administrative law judge is often the pivotal event in a disability claim. The firm prepares clients for these hearings, working through the relevant medical and vocational evidence and advising on how to present testimony effectively.
Client Travel: The firm will travel to meet clients anywhere in its five-state service area at no additional cost, ensuring that mobility limitations or geographic distance do not prevent clients from receiving proper representation.
