Matthew DeGioia

I have over eight years of disability benefits experience, specializing in Social Security disability benefits, FERS disability retirement benefits, short-term and long term disability insurance claims, including ERISA litigation, and disability retirement claims through the State of Maryland. In addition, I assist on estate planning matters, probate and estate administration, guardianships, family law, and other areas of civil litigation.

I believe in taking a client-centered approach to the practice of law. I want to make sure that you as a client are seen and heard, and that your concerns are fully addressed every time we connect. I also believe in taking a measured and efficient approach to advocacy. I will zealously fight for you, and represent you in a way that maximizes your resources and time.

Outside of the firm, I serve as a Social Security Benefits Advisor for Christian Legal Aid of DC, where I guide and train volunteer lawyers on how to represent Social Security Disability claimants before administrative law judges at the Social Security Administration.

I am barred in the State of Maryland, the United States District Court of the District of Maryland, and the District of Columbia.
