Why Aurora SSDI claimants choose us
Aurora is Colorado’s third-largest city and one of the most economically and culturally diverse in the state. Our Denver office is 15 minutes from most of Aurora — well within reasonable client-visit range. More importantly, Aurora cases are heard at the same Denver OHO where we appear regularly.
We’ve represented Aurora claimants in cases tied to nearly every major employer in the city: healthcare workers at UCHealth Anschutz (the metro’s largest hospital complex), aviation and DoD workers from Buckley Space Force Base, manufacturing and warehouse workers throughout north Aurora, and the city’s significant immigrant and refugee population. Diverse case types reflect Aurora’s diverse workforce.

Local context
Distance to our office. 1490 Lafayette Street, Denver — about 15 minutes from most of Aurora. I-225, I-70, and 6th Avenue / Colfax all connect Aurora to our location. Many clients prefer phone or video meetings to skip the drive.
Where Aurora claimants get medical care. UCHealth Anschutz Medical Campus is the dominant healthcare provider — academic medical center with specialty care across virtually every body system. The Children’s Hospital Colorado is also Anschutz-adjacent. Aurora also has The Medical Center of Aurora, Kaiser Permanente Aurora, and a wide range of specialty practices.
Demographics. Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in the state — over 130 languages spoken in schools. We work with clients across language and cultural backgrounds; SSA provides interpretation services for non-English speakers at every stage.
Aurora-specific case patterns
Aurora case mix: a heavy share of healthcare-worker injuries and conditions (UCHealth nurses and aides with back injuries; ICU staff with post-COVID conditions); aviation and DoD-related injuries from Buckley personnel; manufacturing injuries from the city’s industrial north side; and refugee/immigrant claimants with combined physical and mental health presentations from pre-arrival trauma.
One Aurora-specific pattern: gun-violence-related TBI and PTSD cases following the King Soopers and other community-level incidents. These cases require particularly careful documentation and we’ve handled several.
Frequently asked questions about Aurora SSDI claims
My case will be heard at the Denver office. Why is the city page about Aurora?
Aurora doesn’t have its own SSA hearing office. All Aurora SSDI hearings are conducted at the Denver Hearing Office in Denver. The city page is about the local case patterns we see, the medical-care infrastructure Aurora claimants typically access, and how to find an attorney familiar with Aurora claims — but the hearing itself happens at Denver OHO.
Where is the SSA field office for Aurora?
The Aurora SSA Field Office is at 14280 E Jewell Ave, Aurora, CO. This is where in-person applications, redeterminations, and benefit-status questions are handled. Hearings, however, are at the Denver Hearing Office downtown.
How long is the SSDI process for Aurora claimants?
18 to 28 months from initial filing through ALJ hearing — same timeline as Denver claimants since the cases go through the same DDS office and the same hearing office.
I don't speak English well. Does SSA accommodate that?
Yes. SSA provides telephone interpretation in over 200 languages free of charge. In-person hearings include interpreter services upon request. Aurora’s diverse population is well-served by these accommodations.
