Our Editorial Team

Here's who creates our tools and guides, and how we keep them accurate.

Founder & editor

Joe Niehaus

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Joe founded Atrium Leads, the company behind Disability Drew and Accident Andy. He has more than a decade of experience in marketing and has spent years working alongside attorneys. He oversees every tool and guide on the site with a simple test: would this actually help someone trying to get through the disability process?

Legal review

We're adding licensed attorneys to review our disability content. When a page has been reviewed, it will show the reviewer's name, state bar license, and the review date.

How we work

Plain English first

We write for people, not lawyers. Short sentences and clear next steps.

Official sources

Every number comes from the Social Security Administration, and we link to it.

Kept up to date

Social Security updates its amounts every year. We do too. Spot something wrong? Tell us.
