Introduction
Over 5,000 workers across Oklahoma have obtained benefits through the efforts of Hansen Dirani & Associates PLLC, a figure that reflects both the scale of the firm’s Social Security disability practice and the demand for experienced representation in benefits claims. Located at 1800 S Baltimore, Suite 1000, Tulsa, OK 74119, the firm combines Social Security disability work with personal injury and workers’ compensation representation, serving clients throughout the entire state of Oklahoma from the Panhandle to the Eastern Border.
Practice Areas
Hansen Dirani & Associates PLLC operates across three interconnected practice areas, each addressing situations where illness, injury, or accident has affected a person’s ability to earn a living.
Social Security Disability Benefits. The firm’s disability practice represents individuals whose ability to earn income has been affected by illness or injury. With more than two decades of experience in this area, the team has helped over 5,000 workers obtain benefits. The practice addresses common misconceptions about disability claims that prevent eligible individuals from filing. The firm clarifies that debilitating injuries can happen to anyone regardless of age, that filing can begin immediately if a doctor advises the injury may prevent working for 12 months or longer, and that claimants can work and earn up to $1,260 monthly (or $2,110 if blind) while receiving benefits.
Social Security disability claims involve a multi-stage process that includes initial application, potential denial, reconsideration, and hearings before administrative law judges. The firm guides clients through each stage, handling the paperwork, medical evidence gathering, and legal arguments required to establish eligibility. The denial rate for initial applications is substantial, making experienced representation valuable for claimants navigating the system.
Personal Injury. The firm handles personal injury claims arising from car accidents and other incidents caused by the negligence of others. These cases involve documenting injuries, establishing liability, calculating damages, and negotiating with insurance companies or pursuing litigation when settlements are inadequate.
Workers’ Compensation. When workplace injuries occur, the firm represents injured workers in pursuing the benefits they are entitled to under Oklahoma law. Workers’ compensation cases require navigating a separate administrative system with its own rules, deadlines, and procedures.

Client Focus
The firm provides free consultations and maintains 24/7 phone availability, recognizing that questions about disability benefits, workplace injuries, and accident claims do not follow a 9-to-5 schedule.
Hansen Dirani & Associates’ client base includes individuals across a wide spectrum of circumstances. Some are workers who have suffered sudden injuries that prevent them from returning to their jobs. Others have developed conditions gradually, whether through occupational exposure, repetitive stress, or progressive illness. The common thread is that their ability to earn a living has been compromised, and they need legal guidance to access the benefits or compensation available to them.
Client testimonials describe the firm as “the best for disability cases,” with staff described as helpful, caring, professional, courteous, and deeply invested in their work. Clients note the firm’s ability to fight for them when gainful employment is not possible and to achieve positive outcomes even in challenging situations where initial claims have been denied.
The partnership with the Law Offices of Jeff Martin expands the firm’s capacity in personal injury matters, giving clients access to a combined team with broader experience and resources in the Tulsa area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while receiving Social Security disability benefits?
Yes. The firm clarifies that claimants can work and earn up to $1,260 monthly (or $2,110 if blind) while receiving Social Security disability benefits. Earning above these thresholds may affect eligibility, so it is important to understand the income limits before taking on employment.
When can I file for Social Security disability?
Filing can begin immediately if a doctor advises that your injury or illness may prevent you from working for 12 months or longer. There is no waiting period required before filing an application. The firm advises against delaying because the application process itself takes time, and benefits do not begin retroactively from the date the disability occurred in all cases.
Do I have to come to Tulsa to work with the firm?
No. Hansen Dirani & Associates offers remote services by mail, video, and other communication methods for clients throughout Oklahoma who cannot travel to the firm’s Tulsa office. This is particularly useful for disability claimants whose medical conditions limit their ability to travel.
Does age matter for disability claims?
The firm addresses a common misconception that disability benefits are only for older individuals. Debilitating injuries and illnesses can happen to anyone regardless of age, and eligibility is based on the impact of the condition on the claimant’s ability to work, not on the claimant’s age.
What does the firm charge for its services?
The firm offers free consultations. Specific fee structures for disability, personal injury, and workers’ compensation cases were not detailed in available materials. Contact the firm at (918) 417-1029 to discuss fee arrangements for your particular situation.
