The law firm of Harris & Helwig in Lakeland, Florida, focuses its practice on two specialized areas of the law: Social Security disability and employment discrimination.
Social Security Lawyers
Social Security law: We represent people who are having problems dealing with the Social Security Administration, including issues related to:
- Application and appeals process
- Pain, fatigue and mental disorders
- Children's Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits
- Retirement benefits
Most of the problems involve applying and qualifying for disability benefits. Social Security runs several programs for disabled people. All of them require that the person be unable to perform any type of work. Proving that you cannot do any type of work can be difficult. That is why it is so important to have an experienced attorney guide you through the complicated process.
Lakeland Employment Law Attorneys
Employment discrimination: At Harris & Helwig, we understand that discrimination and job loss can be devastating, and that you need a skilled, experienced professional in your corner to help you fight back. Our two employment and labor law attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience. Our employment attorneys Peter Helwig and Kathryn Piscitelli are board certified by the Florida bar as specialists in labor and employment law. We can help with your employment law matter, including but not limited to:
- Harassment in the workplace
