GBIS Disability Inc.
GBIS was founded on the premise that most disability claimants find the complex Federal SSI/SSDI Disability program confusing and difficult to navigate through. Our Founder wanted to create a service organization that would both educate our clients and provide the best representation available.
In 1995, we started by recruiting retired Social Security executives, State Agency disability examiners and vocational experts in order to create a company that truly understands the Social Security Disability appeal process. No one knows more about the Social Security Disability appeal process that we do. Most importantly, we share this information with you and will always treat you with dignity and respect.
Our Founder: Fred S. Grigsby
