At the law office of Christine M. Naper, I am dedicated to helping people in Illinois who have been denied Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. As former chair of the Chicago Bar Association Social Security Committee and with more than 30 years of experience with Social Security Disability rules, regulations and case law, I have the experience to help you obtain the benefits you are entitled to receive.
I began practicing law in 1977 as a staff attorney for Legal Services programs in Chicago and Maryland, which provide civil representation for low-income individuals. I focused my efforts on the needs of people with claims under the SSDI, SSI and other public entitlement programs. I supervised paralegals and new attorneys who provided legal services to disadvantaged clients.
For the past 15 years, I have been in private practice, concentrating on helping people with denied claims for Social Security Disability and SSI. To learn more about how I can help you, I encourage you to contact my Chicago, Illinois, law office to set up an appointment.
Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) Claims
If you have suffered an injury or are experiencing an illness that will keep you from working for at least 12 months, I can help you recover benefits under the SSDI program. I handle appeals at all stages of the process for denied SSDI benefits, from requests for reconsideration and hearings before administrative law judges to appeals to the Social Security Appeals Council in Washington, D.C., as well as civil actions in federal court.
A Cook County Attorney Assisting With Supplement Security Income (SSI) Claims
If you fail to qualify for SSDI benefits, I may be able to help you recover compensation under the Supplemental Security Income program, which provides benefits to blind, disabled or elderly individuals based solely on need.
For answers to questions about Social Security Disability Insurance claims, please see my page of SSDI FAQs. I can answer all of your questions regarding the Social Security system, including how to obtain early retirement and disability benefits at the same time.

I went into the practice of law to help disadvantaged people. At my firm, I handle all of my cases personally, so you will have a highly experienced attorney handling every aspect of your disability claim. I work out of my home on the north side of Chicago, so you won't have to travel downtown to meet me.
To set up an appointment, e-mail my law office or call me at 773-525-8952. I handle all disability and SSI claims on a contingent fee basis. I only charge attorney fees when I recover compensation for past benefits.
