Welcome to the Online Home of Sims & Stakenborg, P.A.

The law firm of Sims & Stakenborg, PA has an unusual practice. The firm focuses on issues involving Expert Witnesses and representing those who are no longer able to work due to an injury or illness with a Social Security Disability claim.

Social Security Disability

Choosing the right disability attorney is an important decision. Has your lawyer attended multiple hearings? Does your lawyer know local judges and the doctors? Is your representative local or even an attorney? There is a significant difference. There is no formal legal training required to be a representative, while a licensed attorney must undergo 7 years of college and pass a bar exam and be investigated by the Florida Bar.

Social security disability benefits are important to you, your family and your health. They include not only monthly benefits, but medical care as well.  You want attorneys with hundreds of legal and medical memos at their fingertips.

Thinking outside the box isn’t enough. A good social security disability lawyer realizes there is no box. Need help applying for Social Security Disability? Click Here.
