If you are thinking about retaining a Social Security Disability Attorney to represent you in your Social Security claim, it’s worth asking yourself what benefit you expect and how to know if you have the right Social Security Disability Attorney. The most dangerous illusion a consumer can hold is the mindset that says "it’s obvious that I'm too sick/injured/in too much pain to work. I don’t need a lawyer."

Why to Hire a Social Security Attorney

If that were true, 60% of all applicants would not be turned down. Moreover, if that were true it would not explain how, year after year, disabled consumers that have Social Security Attorneys are awarded benefits far more often than consumers that do not. Putting aside for a moment your disability itself, you should be aware that the Regulations that govern Social Security disability cover hundreds of pages. The Social Security Rulings and Administrative rules cover hundreds more. This is a complex area of the law.

Finding an Attorney on a Contingency Basis

So, if it makes sense to hire a Social Security Disability Attorney, how do you choose one? Relatively speaking, there are not a lot of Social Security Attorneys that handle Social Security Disability cases. This is because, as mentioned above, the law is pretty complex and the fees are low compared to other areas of the law (Social Security Disability cases are typically handled on a contingency basis with the lawyer receiving a percentage of the back benefits. But these fees are capped at $5,300.00. This is not an insignificant amount of money, of course, but it is not a lot, either, when you know the amount of work that goes into these cases).
