Adriana’s practice focuses exclusively on representing individuals who have been denied Social Security benefits and must seek judicial review of the Social Security Administration’s decision in federal court. Adriana has extensive experience in litigating Social Security cases in the federal courts, where she zealously seeks to reverse the agency’s erroneous denial of 

benefits to claimants. Adriana continuously strives to provide the highest level of representation for her clients in court proceedings to ensure that their claims are adjudicated consistent with applicable statutes, agency regulations, and judicial precedent. Adriana has presented at several national conferences for the National Organization of Social Security Claimant 

Representatives (NOSSCR), including conferences in Denver, Miami, and Seattle. Adriana Adriana also served as a presenter at disability conferences sponsored by the Chicago Bar Association, 

the Orange County Bar Association, and the Indiana Continuing Legal Education Forum.
