Where to get SSDI legal aid in Virginia?

By Hogan Smith

Updated 09/03/2025


Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in Virginia can be difficult, especially if your initial claim is denied. Many applicants turn to legal aid or disability attorneys for help. Fortunately, there are several places in Virginia where you can find SSDI legal assistance, whether you’re filing your first application or appealing a denial.

Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.


Legal Aid Organizations in Virginia

Several nonprofit organizations provide free or low-cost legal aid for SSDI cases, particularly for individuals with limited income:


  • Legal Aid Justice Center – Offers support with disability and public benefits cases.
  • Virginia Legal Aid Society – Provides free legal services to qualified applicants.
  • Blue Ridge Legal Services – Assists low-income residents in certain counties with SSDI and SSI claims.


These organizations may help you with paperwork, appeals, and understanding your rights.


Disability Advocacy Groups

Virginia also has advocacy organizations that assist with SSDI claims. These groups may not always provide attorneys, but they offer guidance and resources, including:


  • Help with applications and medical evidence
  • Support through the appeals process
  • Referrals to disability attorneys if needed


Private SSDI Attorneys

Many private law firms in Virginia specialize in SSDI cases. Attorneys usually work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. A disability attorney can:


  • Build a strong case with complete medical documentation
  • Represent you at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
  • Improve your chances of approval at appeal stages


Why Legal Aid Matters

Having the right legal help can:


  • Prevent mistakes on your SSDI application
  • Strengthen your appeal with proper medical records
  • Save time by avoiding unnecessary delays
  • Give you professional representation if your case goes to a hearing
