Keller & Keller Injury Lawyers

Advocates, Counselors & Representatives for the Disabled Your Keller & Keller attorneys recently attended continuing education in Orlando, Florida for the 2026 ACRD Annual Conference. They met with Social Security attorneys from all over the country to hone their skills and to learn about the newest developments in Social Security law. Even though Social Security is a very old government program, there are new challenges every day. From implementation of AI to modern revisions to vocational expert methodology, your attorneys are committed to staying on top of the shifting landscape. A huge problem facing Social Security applicants has been the collection of medical records in a timely fashion. Sometimes clients don’t remember the name of a doctor or a location. Sometimes providers have delays in actually sending out the records. At the conference, we learned about AADJ (American Association of Disability Judges) and their efforts to improve the efficiency and efficacy of records requests. Former Commissioner of Social Security Leland Dudek gave a presentation, and we thank him for taking the time to reach out to the community of Social Security representatives. There were lectures on questioning medical or vocational experts during the course of the hearing. There were classes on preparing cases for hearing and classes on preparing claimants for hearing. There were sessions with folks providing new tools to help us help our claimants.
