Michael D. Provencher

Michael D. Provencher’s passion for disability advocacy began in law school, when he served clients in the Education Rights Clinic, helping children secure the accommodations they needed from the special education system. He then interned for the Disability Law Center of Virginia, helping to ensure statewide compliance with disability protection laws by skilled nursing facilities and developing litigation strategies to fight for institutionalized citizens. Now, Michael continues his advocacy by helping clients obtain Social Security Disability benefits through hearing representation and assistance in other stages of the process.
