Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/23/2013 -- The Hopping Law Group, PC wins a dismissal of all charges against their client after case was called to trial on Monday May 7, 2013 in the 291st District Court of Dallas County, Texas. The District Attorney's office indicted the Defendant and sought a conviction against her for child endangerment charges. Specifically, the State alleged in the indictment that Defendant grabbed a steering wheel in a moving car which subsequently caused an accident resulting in minor injuries to an occupant in another vehicle. After an investigation, Mr. Hopping identified several discrepancies between what the witnesses saw and what was reported in the offense report. The Defendant plead not guilty and rejected all plea offers, including an offer for probation, and the case was set for trial. Understanding the risks associated with entering a plea of not guilty and proceeding to trial, the Defendant and her attorney, Mr. Hopping, stood their ground. After the Judge called the case to trial, the Defendant announced she was ready to proceed. In the final hour, the State was unable to refute the discrepancies established by Mr. Hopping, and dismissed all charges against Defendant. Mr. Hopping stated that "I believe that the result was just, and I am happy that I was able to achieve a favorable result for my client." Cases like this illustrate how The Hopping Law Group, PC effectively defends their clients and protects them from prosecution by the District Attorney's office.

"Many of our clients desperately need their awards and few of them can wait the year it may take to have a hearing on their case before an Administrative Law Judge or ALJ" stated Mr. Hopping. Mr. Hopping went on to state that "[he] firmly believes the more work done at the initial appeal stages can shorten the process for many claimants". His stance is that "sometimes it comes down to getting the right information regarding our clients' medical conditions to the right decision makers on the case."

The Hopping Law Group, PC recently won a key decision from the Social Security Disability Appeals Council in Falls Church, VA remanding a case back to the Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2013 -- The Hopping Law Group, PC recently won a key decision from the Social Security Disability Appeals Council in Falls Church, VA remanding a case back to the Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ, in the Dallas North Office of Disability Adjudication and Review for further findings on the record.

After a hearing before the Administrative Law Judge and subsequent denial of benefits, The Hopping Law Group, PC filed an appeal of the Judge's decision. Attorney John Hopping asserted in his appeal that there were numerous inconsistencies regarding the Judge's decision finding that the claimant was capable of performing past relevant work as a customer service representative. Specifically, the Appeals Council held that the testimony of the vocational expert was inconsistent when he testified that the claimant could return to past relevant work as a customer service representative and stated that work was sedentary. There are no jobs listed in the Dictionary of Occupation Titles for a customer service representative that are sedentary. With this finding, the Appeals Council published an opinion that there was good cause to return the Claimant's case back to the hearing office for further review and possible approval of her claim for benefits.

This decision offers hope to the countless people struggling in their pursuits and dealings with the Social Security Administration since up to 50% of Claimants are denied at the hearing level. By retaining the Hopping Law Group to represent her for her claim, this Claimant may finally be awarded the benefits she has deserved. The remanding of this decision is promising news after a long fight in the pursuit of benefits. Mr. Hopping states that, "I fully support the decision by the Appeals Council and hope that this will be the final step in getting the benefits my client deserves."
