Personal Injury Lawyers Serving the Entire U.S.
Shareholder John Brennan is a long-term disability lawyer and head of the Sokolove Law Wichita, Kansas office. He helps people who can’t work because of an illness, injury, or mental health condition pursue the benefits they need.
After nearly three decades of handling denied disability cases, John has seen claims turned down for all kinds of reasons, from gaps in medical records to disagreements over what a diagnosis means for someone’s ability to work.
John represents people with physical and mental health conditions alike, working through the filing or appeals process to secure compensation while they’re unable to work. He reviews denials closely, finds weak points in the insurer’s or agency’s reasoning, and builds a strong case to address them.
John helps clients with several kinds of disability claims, including:
Whether a claim is going through an insurance company or the Social Security Administration, John can guide clients through each step of the process.
John grew up on a family wheat farm in Haskell County, Kansas. In 1983, he graduated summa cum laude from Newman University in Wichita, where he studied English and business administration. In 1986, John earned his J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law.
John began his career as a tax lawyer. In 1997, a family member’s serious mental health condition led him to guide that person through the Social Security process, and he went on to make disability law his focus.
Outside his legal work, John actively supports the mental health and disability communities. He is a past president of the Kansas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and has served on the board of the Independent Living Resource Center, which provides services to people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers.
John is a husband and father of 3 who spends his free time running and lifting weights.
