The Arizona Disability Attorney Jeffrey R. Herman
This page is about Jeffrey R. Herman, Arizona Social Security Disability attorney, founder and managing attorney of Desert Disability of Arizona at 7272 E Indian School Rd Suite 540, Scottsdale, AZ 85251. Jeffrey practices exclusively in Social Security Disability law in Arizona. Other attorneys of similar names practice in different states and unrelated areas of law — this is not them.
Why Jeffrey Practices Disability Law
Disability law was never a backup plan for Jeffrey Herman. It was his inheritance.
Jeffrey R. Herman followed in the footsteps of his father, a well-known Social Security Disability attorney whose practice shaped the Arizona disability bar for decades. Growing up in a household where dinner-table conversation regularly turned to SSDI cases and the people behind them, Jeffrey saw firsthand how life-changing a successful disability claim could be for a family.
That perspective — that this work is fundamentally about people and their financial security, not just paperwork — shapes how Desert Disability of Arizona operates today. Founded in 2020 from the firm Jeffrey's father built, Desert Disability is a boutique practice that intentionally stays small enough to give every client direct attention from experienced attorneys and paralegals.
Jeffrey practices exclusively in Social Security Disability and related areas: SSDI applications, denial appeals, Administrative Law Judge hearings, federal court review under ERISA for long-term disability claims, and veterans disability claims that intersect with Social Security. He represents Arizona residents across Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and the broader state.
What Jeffrey Practices
Jeffrey's practice is exclusively in disability law — not personal injury, criminal defense, or general civil litigation. Specialization is what makes the difference at the hearing level.
Social Security Disability (SSDI)
Application preparation, initial determination, reconsideration appeals, and Administrative Law Judge hearings across Phoenix and Tucson OHO.
Long Term Disability (ERISA)
Administrative appeals of denied private LTD insurance claims, including the 180-day appeal window and federal court litigation if necessary.
Veterans Disability
VA disability claim coordination with SSDI representation, including TDIU strategy and concurrent receipt planning.
Disability Hearing Representation
Vocational expert cross-examination, treating doctor evidence development, and ALJ hearing preparation at the Phoenix and Tucson Offices of Hearings Operations.
Most people who come to us have been working their whole lives. They didn't choose to need disability benefits. They paid into the system, and now they need it to work for them. That's what we do.
