Social Security disability representation in Salt Lake City, Utah

If you live in Salt Lake City and need help with Social Security disability, our disability advisors work from an office in Holladay, a short drive southeast of downtown. We handle SSDI and SSI claims at every level, and there is no fee unless you win.

Serving Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County

Most people who call us from Salt Lake City have already applied and been denied. Some are a few weeks past a denial letter. Others have been waiting months for a hearing date and want someone in their corner before it comes.

We take cases at any stage: a first application, a reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, or a request for Appeals Council review. We do not handle VA disability claims, workers compensation or overpayment disputes.

If you just received a denial, watch the date. SSA generally gives you 60 days from the day you receive the notice to appeal, and it assumes you received the notice 5 days after it was mailed. Our page on appealing a denial explains each step.

How Salt Lake City claimants reach our Utah office

Our office is at 5200 S Highland Drive in Holladay, an easy drive from most of Salt Lake City, so you can meet in person if you prefer.

You don’t have to, though. Many Salt Lake City clients never visit. We talk by phone, trade documents electronically, and prepare you for your hearing by phone or video. Staff answer the phone during business hours, so you reach a person rather than a voicemail tree.

Your claim itself still runs through Social Security. A local SSA field office checks the non-medical rules, such as work history and income, and then a state agency called Disability Determination Services decides the medical question at the first two levels. To find the field office that serves your Salt Lake City address, use SSA’s office locator.

Where Salt Lake City hearings are held

If your claim reaches the hearing level, it is usually assigned to SSA’s Salt Lake City hearing office, the only hearing office in Utah in SSA’s data. SSA can also transfer cases to a National Hearing Center, and your hearing notice will tell you which office has your case.

According to SSA’s ALJ Disposition Data for FY 2026, administrative law judges at the Salt Lake City hearing office approved 52.1% of the disability decisions they issued from September 27, 2025 through August 28, 2026. The national rate for the same period was 57.5%. SSA’s Average Wait Time Until Hearing Held Report shows hearings there were held an average of 9 months after the request in August 2026. These figures describe the office as a whole, not any one claim. Results vary and past outcomes do not predict any individual result.

You don’t need to travel downtown for the hearing itself. SSA offers four ways to attend: in person, by phone, by video at an SSA office, or by online video from a private place you choose. Compare Utah with other offices on our hearing office data page.

What we do for Salt Lake City claimants

Our advisors work only on Social Security disability claims, so SSA’s forms, deadlines and hearing procedures are what they do every day.

For a Salt Lake City claim, that work usually looks like this:

• Filing the appeal on time and checking what SSA already has in your file.
• Requesting records from your doctors, clinics and hospitals so gaps get filled before a judge sees the file.
• Preparing you for the questions the judge and any vocational expert are likely to ask.
• Appearing with you at the hearing, whether it is held by phone, video or in person.

If your hearing is less than about 3 months away, we usually ask SSA for a postponement so the case can be prepared properly. If you already have a representative, we can step in only if that representative agrees to waive their fee. To see what happens at the judge level, read about hearing representation.
