What Can a Social Security Disability Lawyer Do for You?
Applying for and receiving Social Security Disability benefits is a complicated process for anyone to undertake. After dealing with the frustration of a denial, you may wonder what a lawyer can do for your case and how we can help.
Here are the key steps our lawyers take to ensure a successful outcome in a Social Security Disability appeal:
Thorough Case Review and Analysis
We will conduct a comprehensive review of your initial disability application, the reasons it was denied, your medical records, employment history, and any other relevant documentation. This allows us to identify any gaps, errors, or additional evidence needed to strengthen your case.
Develop a Compelling Medical Evidence File
Our attorneys know exactly what kind of medical evidence is required to meet the criteria for different disabling conditions. We’ll ensure your file contains detailed treatment notes, test results, physician opinions, and any missing records to build an air-tight case proving your inability to work.
Guide You Through the Appeals Process
The appeals process involves multiple levels with strict procedures and deadlines at each stage. Our experienced team will walk you through every step, handling all the required paperwork and submissions correctly so your case keeps moving forward.
Preparation for Hearings
If your case proceeds to a hearing before an administrative law judge, we’ll prepare you on how to talk about your limitations persuasively. Our team can also advise on getting supporting witness statements.
Legal Representation at Hearings
At the hearing, our attorneys will vigorously advocate for you by cross-examining any vocational experts brought in by the government, presenting your medical evidence, and arguing why you meet the criteria for disability benefits.
Federal Court Appeals if Needed
If you have exhausted all the administrative appeals levels and have still been denied, our firm has the ability to file your case in federal court to continue fighting for the benefits you deserve.
Our hands-on approach, specialization in disability law, and tenacious representation at every stage maximize your chances of a successful outcome.

What if I Have Multiple Impairments that Impact My Ability to Work? Can I Still Qualify?
Having multiple health issues can make it very difficult to keep working and earning a living wage. The good news is that Social Security takes all of your combined medical conditions into account when considering if you qualify for disability benefits – not just one impairment alone.
Even if no single condition on its own is disabling, Social Security looks at how the total combination of your physical and mental health problems impacts your overall ability to function and maintain employment. The compounding effects of having several impairments at once can prevent you from being able to work, even though each issue individually may not.
As long as your combined medical problems significantly restrict what work you can perform, you could meet the requirements of the Social Security Administration.

What Will a Social Security Disability Lawyer Cost?
Social Security Disability lawyers are paid on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they win your case and you are awarded disability benefits. The fees are regulated by the federal government.
Specifically, if your case is approved while it’s at the initial claim or reconsideration appeal level, the lawyer can charge up to 25% of the total retroactive past-due benefits owed to you, up to a maximum fee of $7,200.
In all cases, the lawyer’s fee comes out of the lump sum back pay awarded – we do not take a fee directly from your monthly ongoing disability payments once approved. If your case is not successful, then you owe nothing.
