Social Security benefits lawyer Jim Williams is a member of Young, Reverman & Bolotin. Jim has more than 40 years of experience helping clients obtain compensation through Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income claims.
SSA Lawyer
Jim started his career at the Office of Hearings and Appeals of the Social Security Administration. In this job, he acted as attorney and advisor to administrative law judges, helped them draft written decisions on disability cases and researched complex legal issues.
In 1982, Jim entered private law practice to represent claimants pursuing SSD and SSI benefits at hearings before administrative law judges and in appeals to the Social Security Appeals Council and to the federal courts. He has written more than 600 briefs to appeal Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income decisions in the U.S. District Courts and in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
