About Dee McEntire
Dee McEntire Hansberry is an Arizona lawyer who brings more than three decades of legal experience to her work. She earned her law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1991 and has maintained a long-standing connection to matters that affect individuals navigating federal benefits. Her training at Chapel Hill provided a foundation in administrative and trial practice that informs her approach today.
Her career path has centered on representing claimants in the Social Security system. She is a current member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR), an association that gathers attorneys and advocates who handle disability claims and appeals before administrative law judges and federal courts. That affiliation signals an ongoing engagement with developments in Social Security law and procedure.
Hansberry’s work is shaped by steady courtroom experience and repeated interaction with disability adjudicators. She has guided clients through initial applications, reconsiderations, administrative hearings, and the appeals that follow. Her practice requires careful preparation of medical records, testimony, and written arguments. She aims to make the process comprehensible for clients who often face complex medical and financial challenges.
Colleagues describe her as methodical and persistent. She breaks cases into manageable steps and stresses documentation and clear communication. Those habits matter in a field where outcomes can turn on detailed medical evidence and procedural timing. Over the years she has handled a range of claimant matters, and that breadth informs how she evaluates new cases.
Outside of case work, Hansberry participates in continuing legal education and professional gatherings through organizations such as NOSSCR. Staying current on changes to federal rules and relevant court decisions is part of her routine. She also offers practical guidance to clients on preparing for hearings and what to expect from the administrative process.
Licensed to practice in Arizona, Hansberry continues to represent Social Security claimants and navigate benefits claims and appeals on their behalf. Her present practice concentrates on Social Security disability representation in Arizona.
