What Makes Us Different

    At The Law Office of James B. Countess, PL, we understand that when people hire an attorney they are often experiencing very stressful situations. Under these difficult circumstances you need someone who cares about you and your legal issues and doesn't simply go through the motions. For that reason, we make sure our clients not only receive high-quality legal services, but also the respect and reassurance they deserve.

Built on the concept that each and every client will be treated with dignity and respect we are determined to deliver our services in a manner that provides a level of communication that is seldom seen in today's "text message" world. We will use technology to enhance our ability to communicate, but never to replace that personal interaction that makes us unique. 

Who We Are

    The Law Office of James B. Countess, PL is a North Florida law firm that focuses on representing clients with Social Security disability claims. You will work directly with Mr. Countess, along with his experienced and knowledgeable staff, to develop your case, and present a thorough claim to the Administrative Law Judge in an effort to get you the best possible result.

What We Offer

    Nationally, more than 60% of all initial Social Security disability applications, and more than 85% of all Requests For Reconsideration are denied. However, more than 60% of the Social Security disability claims that are taken to a formal hearing by a trained representative are granted.  At the Law Office of James B. Countess, PL your health, physical condition, and limitations are closely evaluated alongside your medical record to find the best method to demonstrate to the Social Security Administration that you are disabled. Typical steps include:

1. Develop a complete understanding of all conditions, symptoms, and impairments that prevent you from working;
2. Formulate a winning theory for your disability claim. Not all disability claims can be won and, if your case falls in this category, we will provide you with the important information so you can make an educated decision;
3. Gather and assemble all medical documentation that supports our theory of your case. The Social Security Administration requires medical proof that supports your claim and we use our knowledge and experience to ensure your case is supported by the medical evidence;
4. Prepare and present a persuasive case to the ALJ.

You do not have to face the government alone. If you or someone you know needs help with a disability claim, call 850-329-7547 for a free no obligation consultation.
