Martin & Jones Representative Participates In Nationwide Program

Martin & Jones is pleased to announce that our Social Security Disability Claimants' Representative has been selected to participate in the Social Security Administration's Non-Attorney Representative Demonstration Project. This new project is in accordance with The Social Security Protection Act of 2004 and allows direct payment to non-attorney representatives, alleviating the clients of this additional concern during pursuit of Supplemental Security Income and/or Social Security disability benefits.

Our non-attorney representative, Lee Berrios, is participating in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) new project by meeting stringent criteria including background investigation, representational experience, educational requirements and SSA's testing. Currently, only about 200 non-attorney representatives nationwide are eligible to participate in SSA's new project. Both North Carolina and federal laws allow non-attorney representatives to represent individuals for Social Security disability claims.

Martin & Jones believes our clients deserve quality representation. We realize your Social Security disability benefits are important to you, your family, and your future. Our Social Security representative and staff have more than 15 years experience in disability claims. Lee is a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) and the Disability Section of the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers (NCATL) and participates in continuing educational training and seminars to keep abreast of the myriad of changes so prevalent throughout the Social Security Administration today.
