I must say that The Taylor Firm is… to say the best and efficient in the judicial process of Baltimore City is an absolute understatement!!!! I was arrested held without bail. I’d hired the firm and within less than a month’s time, I was released without any bail review or court proceedings. As GOD as my witness… out of nowhere I was told to pack up!!!! Not to mention throughout the duration of this incarceration, the team was amazingly informative and empathetic.
This firm is a firm that will go far and beyond to get the job done! They WILL work together to work for you. If you’d ask me to describe the Firm… I’d say I’d bet my bottom dollar on The Taylor Firm vs The Cochran Firm any day.

During the years I needed Mr. Phillip Chalker expertise on three separate occasions. First, with a tenant that refused to leave the property. Secondly, was with a contract release of a shady management company. Finally, a mutual lease break with multi-tenants. Mr. Chalker's knowledge and quick action was everything I would hope for in a lawyer. All three occasions ended in my favor thanks to him. He's definitely my go to lawyer because I know I will receive focused attention and great results.

Feinberg Myers, PC not only was Zachary Myers very responsive during the period leading up to my case, he listened to the issues I was having understood me, handled me with compassion and empathy and used that to get me 3xs what I expected to settle for. He and Judy Feinberg are the absolute best at what they do and I would recommend anyone who has a civil litigation issues to come here! I was handled with care, compassion, professionalism!! I am so happy with the outcome of my case !! I can’t thank them enough !!! You have a client for life (hopefully I don’t need them again) I had friends telling me to hurry and settle my case, as I wouldn’t be getting anything spectacular even though I was still hurt and in constant pain!!! Zachary convinced me to stay the course (not that it was long, just that I got impatient) and I am so glad I listened !!! This lawyer knew best!!! You are in great hands!! Thank you!! Thank you !!! I had given up on professionalism and customer service and your renewed my outlook, not to mention my settlement!

I was searching for a personal injury lawyer to represent me after being hit by a car in March 2020. I found Mr. Myers through a mutual friend. He and his staff were very professional throughout the process and their communication was very transparent,. They allowed me to focus on recovering from my accident, while they handled the paperwork and negotiations with the insurance companies. In the end, I ended up with what I thought was a very fair settlement. Would definitely recommend this firm if you need a personal injury lawyer in the DMV area.

The first thing I noticed about Mr. McDevitt upon meeting him was his friendly demeanor. I was very impressed with his past work history and well read resume. Mr. McDevitt is an extremely thorough lawyer, he likes to cover all bases. He represented me in a criminal case and I'm glad he was my lawyer. Mr. McDevitt will tell you how it is whether you like what he says or not because he tells you what you need to hear about your case. He isn't afraid to go to "bat" for you either. Mr McDevitt believed me and believed in me and he just didn't fight for me he jumped in with both fists! He is definitely a real fighter that will fight for you and fight for your case.
If you are in need of help, contact Mr. McDevitt, you will be very pleased with the outcome and in the end you and he will both be winners. Trust in him, hire him, excellent representation, very professional and very thorough and above everything else, he'll fight for you!

I hired Peter Casciano to appeal the denial of my Maryland state disability retirement application. I have been absolutely amazed by his knowledge, skill, professionalism, understanding of the law and compassion. Peter knows my case inside and out. He gathered all of my medical records and data, and his understanding of disability law in Maryland is boundless. Peter made me feel like a part of his team and shared all his remarkable plans of action and asked my opinion about issues. A skilled listener, Peter communicated very well, answering questions through emails and calls very quickly. I understood the process of this difficult law because he answers questions so clearly. Appealing a decision at Maryland state retirement disability is a very difficult and arduous process, but Peter guided me through expertly, and made it easier to go through knowing I had him. I ended up having a hearing in front of a judge and I was initially terrified, but Peter reassured me and prepared me well. Watching him in front of the judge made me feel confident and supported because he is a brilliant, skilled knowledgeable lawyer, in court and has a gifted mind for the complications of court and what the other side says and does. Peter was and is an advocate for me the whole time. Thankfully, my application was approved by the judge, and it was all because of Peter‘s abilities and skills, but even if it had been denied, I’d say the same things about him. He is a shining star in the disability law world, and I give him the highest recommendation to anyone going through this difficult situation , Peter had an associate attorney named Molly Friedman, who was meticulous about keeping my records, and ensuring that my file was complete and indicative of my real illness. She was very kind and answered my questions that I had through email or calls easily. My life is positively changed because of Peter and Molly and all their hard work and I will never forget or be able to adequately thank the for all the incredible work he has done. Thank you so much, Peter , Molly and Andalman and Flynn!

After my attorney from another firm suddenly passed away, I needed an new experienced attorney to step-in and take over my Federal OPM Disability Retirement case. Peter Casciano did an amazing job. Thanks to Mr. Casciano's hard work, OPM reversed their denial decision against me and granted me full Federal Employee Disability Retirement benefits. I highly recommend Peter Casciano.

Mr. Casciano called me in response to an email inquiry regarding difficulty in obtaining a decision regarding our adult daughter's disability determination after about 8 months. After listening to my story and asking follow up questions, he said that we were on the right road, and gave some specifics on my follow up with SS. He said that we did not need to hire him at this point, and he did not want to take our money for no reason. I followed Mr. Casciano's suggestions, and about 8 weeks later we received the determination that our daughter is disabled and not capable of working.
It was a blessing to have someone listen to my story and give me reassurance that we were doing things the proper way.
He told me that I could call back and hire him if we did not receive an answer or needed additional help after we received the decision.

I have 2 young children and Joel made sure I received all my parental rights as well as making sure the kids were protected in the future with their education.
I recommend Joel highly.

John is a winner...WE WON!
I hired John to represent me in a Social Service Disability Re-consideration claim. From the very beginning, John was professional, courteous, and a great listener. For some reason, other firms declined to take my case...not John. He did not hesitate to accept my case, after listening to my story. John was empathetic to my daily struggles and assured me he would do everything to fight for me. He never promised to win, in fact, John candidly let me know my chances of not winning. SS Disability cases are marathons, not sprints. John was there for every step, every day, and/or whenever needed. He was clear in what he needed from me and his expertise was invaluable in helping me articulate the serious affects of my conditions. Look, we all want a winner; hands down, best quality in a lawyer. Yet, I believe what makes John a winner is his relatability. He gets it and plays no games to achieve the absolute best results for his clients. John will always be "My Guy"!

Miss Blevins listened to my situation, as a Wounded Warrior at Walter Reed, analyzed it carefully providing a detailed back brief explaining what previous counsel had omitted and what should have been done during the time line that Social Security requires. Her analysis was spot on. Miss Blevins knowledge of Social Security and its processes was critical to fixing prior counsels’ errors. This knowledge was paramount in her legal brief achieving a complete reversal of SSA’s wrong opinion. Miss Blevins is a Top-Notch attorney who was able to get my case reversed, corrected and resolved in a timely manner.
If I had known of her to begin with, I would have chosen Miss Blevins from the start! I will use her moving forward should I have any more Military, VA or Social Security actions.

Michelle did an excellent job handling my case! She was dealing with a Federal agency for a disability/benefit claim.

She handled a very private situation with the utmost professionalism and discretion! The case was won in my favor! I would certainly use her in the future!

From the moment I met Mr. Steinhardt and his partner Mr. Lieberman I felt confident that they would be able to assist me.
After years of working and being productive, I suddenly found myself unable to work and disabled after a car accident. My security was threatened and I was uncertain of my future.
Thanks to Mr. Steinhardt and Mr. Liberman and thier staff I won my case and have begun the process of putting my life back together.
Throughout this long and arduous process my attorneys were there for me. They took my calls, answered my questions, listened to my concerns, gave me support and guided me.
Though my life is different now I am grateful that they were able to win my case.
I am so pleased that I was able to retain this law firm and that I especially had the opportunity to work with Mr. Liberman. He went above and beyond, often took time to respond to my calls; even at the end of the day on Friday afternoons.
Thank you Mr. Steinhardt and staff.

My attorney, Garry Wilcox Jr., worked with me throughout the entire process, making sure everything was taken care of every step of the way. My initial incident was a frustrating one physically and emotionally. I had just graduated from college and purchased my first car, and a situation beyond my control caused another driver to rear end me while I was stopped at a red light. Just a few months into purchasing the car, I was devastated with the damages inflicted on my car, as well as on my person. I was so nervous about my injuries, as my job was physically demanding, but Garry ensured me that he would work his hardest to make sure that not a penny of lost wages would truly be lost. I felt a strong sense of comfort upon meeting with Garry and initially going through the first stages of my case. I truly felt like I had someone by my side and that would make sure that I received the aid and support that I needed during my otherwise nervous and panicked state. The hardest I worked throughout my entire case was on myself, through physical therapy and regaining my health. Everything else was fully taken care of by my attorney. Every question I had was answered immediately and fully, and I was kept in the loop every step of the way. Garry would not accept any offer of mediocrity, and I felt as though I received the best outcome possible due to his tireless efforts. I am so glad that I was able to positively resolve my case, while only having to focus on getting my strength back, and letting Garry worry about the rest. I am so lucky to have had him as my attorney, and by my side throughout this process, because i was able to just do me, while receiving the best outcome.

My SSDI case was quite a unique one. My entire case was conducted during the COVID pandemic, entailing that I never personally met any of the lawyers or staff. All proceedings & communications were conducted over the phone, via email or through the US mail; including 3 hearings with the ALJ judge and numerous conversations with SSA.
Upon being retained by Gordon, Wolf & Carney, CHTD; they began a meticulous and comprehensive fight for my disability case. Their experience and knowledge in SSDI was really exhibited during my hearings. They were very professional and well-prepared. I was extremely impressed with their communication skills and patience in the handling of my case. They kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process, especially dealing with SSA, which at times was quite challenging.
Gordon, Wolf & Carney, CHTD did a fantastic job in my “Fully-Favorable” disability case and I highly recommend them! Special thanks to Catherine Shaw who diligently worked with me throughout the entire process!

I haven’t been approved or denied yet ! the professionalism and knowledge this law office has is beyond this world. They always call me back. They stayed on top of things. Even made sure I did my part as a client. We have to help these lawyers help us. Like go to our appointments and doing as the doctor says. The lawyers can’t help if we don’t do that. I love this office. Lawyer Sharon Christie is so sweet and she used to be a nurse so she knows a lot for that I trust her. I’m happy I choosed her.

Sharon handled my disability case with Social Security and I couldn't be happier. Her staff was always very kind, sincere and very concerned about my case. I felt like a human being with them, not a case file. Sharon is also a nurse, which may explain her caring about my case to the point of calling me on her way home after 6:30PM, 3 times just to see how I was doing. Sharon Christie and her staff are definitely the Nordstrom's of attorneys.

I contacted Kelly after dealing with an inept, inferior attorney and am so glad I did. From the moment I met Kelly, she was attentive, explained everything, what I was looking at, and her opinion of settling my case out of court. I never felt rushed when meeting her at her office. Her staff was wonderful in getting answers for me quickly, or letting me know when I could expect a return call when Kelly was in court. She gave me pep talks when I needed them. She would be the one I would call again if I needed an attorney.

I was LUCKY enough to accidentally find/meet David Jackson the same week I got turned down for disability though anybody w/ eyes could see I am very Disabled. He was understanding, intelligent, explained everything I didn't understand and THROUGHOUT the case, answered my emails promptly and explained whatever was confusing to me without talking -down- to me. My family and I could TELL he was a TRUSTWORTHY and HONEST man just by the professional yet caring way he helped and worked hard to get me the benefits I needed. I truly believe it was fate that lead us to his office two days after getting turned down a second time. I don't know what *you* find important in a lawyer but professionalism, skill, intellect, and knowledge of the law obviously comes first. Yet isn't it an added bonus to have someone THAT skilled on *your* team that is working for YOU, cares about YOUR health, YOUR problems, knows your name, issues , and ALSO treats you & your family with a degree of warmth and respect that most lawyers seem to lack?? In doctors, they call it "A GREAT bedside manner". I don't know what to call it in an attorney except for surprising and appreciated!! Do you want a lawyer that is JUST after a paycheck?! Or do you want one that wants to get you ALL the help, benefits, and care that you deserve?!? I for one wanted an attorney that didn't just "know his stuff", but ALSO treated me like he was on -my- team and wasn't going to stop until EVERY avenue had been crossed. If you want a lawyer that is going to battle for your rights and take on the 'big guys' with AND for you, David Jackson, Esquire is your man!! The BEST legal experience I have ever faced because I knew I wasn't "alone"!!! No tricks, no dishonesty, no slippery ambulance chasers. Just a TRUE BLUE lawyer that is an experienced man of the law, upholds it, yet cares for the average person and does everything he can for them. Choosing Mr. Jackson was one of the wisest decisions I think I have ever made. I hope you do too.

What a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Can Do for You
A Social Security and Disability lawyer specializes in helping individuals navigate the complex process of applying for and securing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. These lawyers assist clients in filing applications, gathering necessary medical evidence, appealing denied claims, and representing them in hearings before administrative law judges. A lawyer can help maximize the chances of approval by ensuring that the paperwork is accurate, deadlines are met, and legal standards are addressed.
If you are disabled and unable to work, or if your Social Security Disability claim has been denied, a Social Security and Disability lawyer can guide you through the legal process to obtain the benefits you’re entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Social Security & Disability Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer in the following situations:
- Applying for SSDI or SSI benefits: The application process for disability benefits can be complex, with strict requirements and documentation. A lawyer can assist in completing the application correctly and submitting the required medical evidence to improve your chances of approval.
- Denied disability claim: If your initial claim for SSDI or SSI benefits has been denied, a lawyer can help file an appeal and represent you in hearings. Many claims are denied initially, and having legal representation during the appeal process significantly increases the chances of success.
- Requesting reconsideration: After an initial denial, you have the right to request reconsideration of your claim. A lawyer can help present new medical evidence or correct any errors in your original application.
- Hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ): If your reconsideration request is denied, you may request a hearing before an ALJ. A lawyer can represent you during the hearing, preparing you to answer questions and presenting a strong case based on your medical and work history.
- Proving medical conditions: If your disability involves complex medical conditions, a lawyer can help gather expert medical testimony or additional evidence to demonstrate that your condition meets the legal criteria for disability.
- Overpayments and cessation of benefits: If the Social Security Administration (SSA) claims you were overpaid or attempts to terminate your benefits, a lawyer can assist in challenging the decision and protect your right to continue receiving benefits.
- SSI for low-income individuals: If you are applying for SSI, which is based on financial need in addition to disability, a lawyer can help ensure that your financial records are correctly submitted to meet SSA’s strict income and asset limits.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you avoid mistakes that could delay or jeopardize your claim.
What Does a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Do?
A Social Security and Disability lawyer provides a range of services to help individuals navigate the application and appeals process for SSDI or SSI benefits. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing initial applications: A lawyer can help prepare and file your SSDI or SSI application, ensuring that all necessary forms are completed accurately and medical evidence is included.
- Gathering medical evidence: A lawyer works with your doctors and healthcare providers to collect medical records, treatment histories, and expert opinions to support your disability claim.
- Filing appeals: If your initial application is denied, a lawyer can file an appeal and guide you through the reconsideration process, ensuring that any additional documentation or evidence is provided.
- Representing you in hearings: A lawyer will represent you in front of an administrative law judge, helping you prepare for the hearing and arguing your case to demonstrate that your disability prevents you from working.
- Handling deadlines and paperwork: A lawyer will ensure that all deadlines are met, and that any requests for additional information from the SSA are responded to promptly.
- Negotiating settlements (for private disability insurance claims): If your disability benefits claim involves private disability insurance (in addition to or instead of SSDI/SSI), a lawyer can help negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
- Fighting benefit terminations or overpayment claims: If the SSA attempts to terminate your benefits or claims you were overpaid, a lawyer can defend you in administrative proceedings or file for a waiver or reconsideration.
How Are Social Security & Disability Lawyers Paid?
Social Security and Disability lawyers are typically paid on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if your case is successful, either through the approval of your disability benefits or winning an appeal. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The fee is usually 25% of your past-due (backpay) benefits, but no more than $7,200. This fee structure is set by the SSA, and lawyers cannot charge more than this amount for SSDI or SSI cases.
- No cost for future benefits: Lawyers are not entitled to any portion of your future monthly disability benefits. Their fee is strictly limited to a percentage of your backpay.
- Additional costs: In some cases, you may need to pay for additional expenses, such as obtaining medical records or expert witness testimony. These costs are usually minimal, but it’s essential to ask your lawyer about any additional expenses upfront.
It’s essential to confirm fee arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid misunderstandings.
How Much Does a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer is typically structured around the contingency fee system outlined by the SSA. General cost information includes:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is capped at 25% of your backpay, with a maximum of $7,200. For example, if you are awarded $10,000 in backpay, the lawyer will receive $2,500 (25%), and you will receive the remaining $7,500.
- No cost for future benefits: Lawyers are not entitled to any portion of your future monthly disability benefits. Their fee is strictly limited to a percentage of your backpay.
- Additional costs: In some cases, you may need to pay for additional expenses, such as obtaining medical records or expert witness testimony. These costs are usually minimal, but it’s essential to ask your lawyer about any additional expenses upfront.
Overall, there is no financial risk in hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer, as they only get paid if your case is successful.
Top Questions to Ask a Social Security & Disability Lawyer
Before hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with Social Security Disability cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling SSDI and SSI cases similar to yours, particularly if you have a complex medical condition. -
How do you charge for your services?
Confirm that the lawyer charges a contingency fee and that you won’t owe any fees unless your claim is successful. Ask if there are any additional costs for medical records or other expenses. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Disability claims can take time, especially if you’re appealing a denial. Ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what the typical timeline is for cases like yours. -
How will you help me prepare for my hearing?
If your case is going to a hearing before an administrative law judge, ask the lawyer how they will help you prepare for testimony and present your medical evidence effectively. -
What happens if I’m denied again?
Ask about the next steps if your reconsideration or appeal is denied, including the possibility of further appeals to federal court.
How to Check the Credibility of a Social Security & Disability Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable Social Security and Disability lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for Social Security experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in Social Security and Disability law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on Social Security Disability matters.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Membership in organizations like the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to representing disability claimants.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a Social Security and Disability lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Medical records: Bring copies of your medical records, including doctor’s notes, test results, treatment histories, and any disability-related diagnoses.
- List of medications and treatments: Provide a detailed list of any medications you are taking, treatments you have received, and ongoing medical care related to your disability.
- Denial letters (if applicable): If your disability claim has been denied, bring a copy of the denial letter from the SSA, along with any documentation related to your appeal.
- Work history: Provide information about your previous jobs and work history, including details about how your disability has impacted your ability to work.
- Social Security application (if already filed): If you’ve already submitted an application, bring a copy of the application and any correspondence you’ve had with the SSA.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions you have about the legal process, the lawyer’s fees, and what to expect in terms of timelines and outcomes.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your situation.
