A Creative Force for Justice: In the Courtroom and the Community

From the courtroom to the classroom and even the stage, Rob Tarlock brings passion, intellect, and heart to everything he does. As a Disability Attorney and federal litigator with extensive national experience in Social Security Disability law, Rob represents clients at all stages of the process: from administrative hearings to U.S. District Court and even the Courts of Appeal.

Known for his compelling advocacy and thoughtful strategy, Rob is part of Liner Legal’s national team of Disability Warriors, helping individuals across the country secure the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits they deserve.

A Legal Career with Purpose and Perspective

Rob holds a Juris Doctor from DePaul University College of Law, and a bachelor’s degree in American Studies and Literature from Colby College. He has clerked for both the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the Daley Circuit Court in Chicago, giving him deep insight into judicial decision-making and procedural rigor.

Over the years, Rob has become a respected voice in the disability law community, frequently presenting on Social Security topics at:

  • National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR)
  • National Business Institute
  • Chicago and North Carolina Bar Associations
  • Loyola College of Law’s Children’s Legal Rights Journal Symposium

As a speaker, educator, and contributor to national dialogue around disability rights and access to justice, Rob brings a wide-angle view to every case he handles.

National Disability Representation With Local Roots

At Liner Legal, Rob focuses on:

  • Representing clients in SSDI/SSI administrative hearings
  • Litigating federal court appeals across the U.S.
  • Handling complex claims and overturning denials at the appeals level
  • Supporting clients through legal education and transparent communication

Whether it’s preparing for an ALJ hearing or filing a federal complaint, Rob is trusted for his meticulous preparation, sharp analysis, and relentless pursuit of justice.

Why Clients Trust Rob Tarlock

  • Experienced in federal and appellate disability litigation
  • Published speaker and national educator on disability law
  • Former public school teacher and lifelong advocate for underserved voices
  • Known for clear communication, creative problem-solving, and courtroom confidence
  • Represents clients nationwide across all levels of the SSD process

"Whether I’m standing in a courtroom or on a stage, my mission is the same: amplify the voices that too often go unheard."

— Rob Tarlock

Beyond the Briefs: A Life of Advocacy and Art

Before entering the legal world, Rob spent 15 years as a hip-hop artist, producing four albums, touring globally, and leading college workshops on the significance of hip-hop culture in social justice. He also worked on numerous political campaigns including voter protection during the 2008 election in Western Pennsylvania.

Today, when he’s not representing clients or mentoring fellow attorneys, Rob continues to create music and perform in Chicago, staying rooted in the creative expression that shaped his early advocacy.
