ATTORNEY AT LAW

Katherine Hartung O’Neal

WHY O’NEAL APPELLATE LAW IS THE CHOICE FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY FEDERAL APPEAL

We understand how exhausting and discouraging it is to be denied Social Security or SSI disability benefits—especially after multiple appeals over several years. At O’Neal Appellate Law, we focus exclusively on the most challenging disability cases: claims that have been denied three times or more and are now ready for Federal Court.

This is your final chance—and we know how to make it count.

Our results speak for themselves. In 2024, we won every Federal Court case we handled. We continue to excel in our victories, giving us a track record that’s virtually unmatched at this stage of the process.

Attorney O’Neal and her team—including former senior Social Security employees—are ready to put their experience to work for you.

When it feels like no one else can help, we can.
Let us be your voice in Federal Court.
