About Michelle

Michelle A. Rhizor is a fierce advocate for individuals with disabilities in need of Social Security benefits. As a Social Security disability lawyer at Marzzacco Niven & Associates, Michelle helps people who are unable to work due to permanent disabilities get the money they deserve.

Michelle represents claimants in all stages of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process, including those applying for initial benefits and those pursuing an appeal of a denial of benefits. She also helps clients who qualify seek Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

Michelle Rhizor has more than a decade of experience helping clients obtain benefits through Social Security claims. She is skilled in all stages of litigation and has argued cases before the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.

Many initial applications for SSDI are denied, leaving people who deserve those funds without the much-needed cash they need for daily expenses. Whether they need help avoiding common errors when completing and submitting their initial application or appealing a wrongfully denied claim, Michelle Rhizor works tirelessly to help clients get the disability benefits they deserve.
