In order to properly represent Social Security Disability Claimants, a competent Social Security Disability Lawyer must stay connected to the community that it serves.
Those who know me personally probably have noticed how much I enjoy getting involved in social and political issues --particularly issues affecting those who suffer from disabling conditions and/or chronic illnesses. Its a great way to give back to the people that I serve and... take a break from the work at the office.
This what I have been up to:

May is Lupus Awareness month. On May 5th, our office participated in the annual Lupus walk in West Hartford, Connecticut. During the event we set up a table with educational materials regarding the Social Security Disability process.
In addition, on May 20, 2013 I went to the Connecticut State Capitol to talk to our State leaders as part of our Lupus Advocacy Day. Governor Malloy signed a proclamation officially declaring the month of May as Lupus Awareness Month.
Finally, I would like to add that this summer my office will sponsor a little league team in the Minnie Gonzalez Little League in Hartford, Connecticut.
I can't wait for opening day! The name of the team that I will be sponsoring will be: "Los Indios de Mayaguez". I'm a big fan of my hometown's winter league baseball team and I'm really happy that I was able to name the team that I sponsor after them.
