Hill & Ponton PA in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, United States | Legal

Hill & Ponton PA was founded in 1986 in Orlando, Florida.   Since that time, we have expanded to serve clients throughout the Central Florida and Tampa Bay area with offices in Orlando, Tampa, Daytona Beach and Deland, in the United States.

Hill & Ponton PA now has approximately 40 people working for it. There are five social security lawyers and eighteen case managers. The remainder of our staff works to make sure that the cases of our almost 2,000 current clients are being handled in an expeditious manner.

Our lawyers have handled Social Security Disability Claims for over 25 years. Our senior partner, Carol Ponton, is well known in the medical and Legal community for her work in the area of Social Security Disability. She has been qualified as an expert witness on Social Security Disability Law numerous times in the past in proceedings before Administrative Law Judges.

Our case managers at  Hill & Ponton PA are very important in our firm.   Each of them has gone through an extensive training program to learn the intricacies of the Social Security process. They then go through a lengthy on-the-job training period where they are supervised by our senior attorneys. Our case managers come out of this training period with extensive knowledge of the social security system, the medical conditions which result in significant disabilities and the evidence needed to prove a social security claim.

In our firm, you will find a dedicated group of people who are working in Social Security Disability as their career. These people find their job satisfaction in helping disabled people obtain the benefits to which they are entitled to under the Social Security Disability Law.

In 2005, the Social Security Administration underwent a major administrative change. The Administration decided that it would become “paperless”.  In the last year, the Administration has taken steps to communicate with claimants and their lawyers by email. Evidence of disability is now being submitted in electronic form.  When the Administration provides its evidence to a claimant or her lawyer, it is provided in electronic format.

Hill & Ponton PA  has advanced stride for stride with the Social Security Administration in this area. In 2004, our firm made the financial commitment to become “paperless”. As a result of the effort of our entire staff, we can now say that we are a “paperless” company.  All of our clients’ records are stored in our office in electronic format. We spent a significant amount of time and money to ensure that that our clients' records are stored in a safe and confidential matter in this electronic format.

Carol Ponton and Maria Santana, our Social Security Advocates, have been asked to speak about the Social Security Disability Law to numerous groups in Central Florida.

We are very proud of the Legal team we have to represent our clients in their Social Security Disability Claims. We think Hill Ponton PA provides our clients with the best representation possible for their disability claim.
