I had received a speeding citation from a cop in Pierce county. I went online to try and find an attorney to represent me. I stumbled upon Michael Sheehans reviews and saw he had helped a lot of people. I decided to have him represent me and he did not disappoint. He got my speeding citation dismissed in court and I had to pay nothing to the courts at all! He was a lifesaver for my future career and I appreciate it! It may take alittle time because of the backups in the courts system, but give Michael time and he will not disappoint you. Thank you again Michael for getting rid of the citation.

I have been fighting to get disability since 2021 and with the help of this law firm I am happy to report after 2 appeals and a court hearing I have been approved to receive disability! The whole team has been such a great help with this whole process. Travis represented my during my hearing. He mademe feel comfortable on what to expect in court and JP called as soon as he found out we won. What a blessing.
Look no further than Gustad Law to help get what you deserve. This truly was a great experience.

When realizing that benefits you earned are not automatically given to you because of the complications within government systems, it was natural to seek a law firm with solid, PROVEN expertise in Social Security cases. I consulted with 3 firms prior to choosing who would represent me. The Gustad LawGroup is EXACTLY who they say they are. I interviewed one of their staff members in making the final decision for my case. Angela is the employee every law firm practicing social security issues should have on staff. She is experienced from the inside, compassionate, and a great communicator. She let me know what was expected from me as a client and that made my role easy. When it came time to actually be represented at a hearing, JP Gustad personally took on my case. Even though my case was not large, he treated me with the utmost care as he walked me through the process of the hearing and how to approach it. He was knowledgeable of my case, reassuring, and confident. Those are best client practices, to me. Thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me these last few years to see me through successful resolution of an unfortunate situation. Don't hesitate, contact the Gustad Law Group!

We highly recommend John Paul Gustad. He is very knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. His staff are both courteous and helpful.
After two failed attempts on our own to handle the administrative law judge hearing for our daughter’s SSDI case, we were about to give up. We then found another attorney who highly recommended John Paul Gustad.
John Paul was able to see from the facts of our case that our daughter deserved to be awarded the benefits. Once he took the case on, he was able to organize the facts of the case and present them successfully. The result was a favorable decision and our daughter was awarded her benefits.
We are so grateful for John Paul Gustad’s efforts and expertise in handling the case.
Thank you John Paul Gustad!

Let me tell you a story about Casey Cox. I first visited him several years ago when he first took my case. He was kind, helpful, great listener and heard my concerns. He worked and worked and worked to get me not only approved for disability, but everything that was coming to me and worked to get the job done. I am so thankful for his knowledge, workmanship and desire to help others. I would highly recommend him for any and all help you may need in any case. Great job Casey Cox.

I was in a really bad hit and run car accident June 6, 2023. I took my time to review plenty of attorneys before I found Boohoff Law. The reviews I read about them were unbelievailable. So I decided to call them. The very next day Michelle Pieller reached out to me and started working for me right away. Within days they found all my medical services & facilities I needed right away. Not only they found them right away but everyone of them were within 5 miles or less away from where I lived. As a matter of fact my very 1st service was within walking distance but of course I drove because of the car accident I was just involved in. Then they even went a step further and made sure not only were they close but all the facilities provided top notch service. They continued to stay in touch with me throughout this whole terrible process to make sure I was alright. Anytime I called or needed them their response was always right away and made sure all my needs and concerns were not only answered but met as well. Their service was so "GREAT" it felt like they were family. If you want and need the best of the best attorney I would highly recommend "BOOHOFF LAW". If I could give them a 100 star review I would but Qthe rating chart only goes to a 5 star. You can not and will not go wrong with choosing Boohoff Law. I guarantee it. Boohoo Law is the best of the best when it come car injury attorneys. Thanks for everything Boohoff Law. "YOU'RE THE BEST" 😃😃😃

Jocelyn and Linsey were the key players in helping complete my case when I was rear-ended. I was recommended them through word of mouth and I would definitely recommend them to others as well - the process was kept clear and they communicated the process very well with me. Knowing nothing about law or the lawsuit process, I’m glad I reached out to them as they were able to work with me to get me the help I needed (Physical therapy, MRI scans, etc.) to get me back healthy like before the accident occurred and maximized the return we were able to get out of the case. Super grateful!

I was having some serious issues with both my employer and L&I, lack of communication with L&I, my benefits randomly getting cut off, total lack of professionalism IMO. I was referred to Sue Holm by a good friend of mine, I contacted her, told her my story, we discussed terms and I signed her on. IMMEDIATELY things got Infinitely better for us, payments came on time, if there was ever an issue I'd send off an email to Sue and it was handled promptly.
I tried multiple times to gift her money, gift cards etc, because I felt that she was very under paid for the work she was doing, but she denied them every single time. Sue is very passionate and knowledgeable with her work, she doesn't take any gruff off anyone, myself included. If she felt I was doing something out of pocket, or had any issue with me at all, it was very direct and to the point. Which I absolutely love in a person, no beating around the bush, no guess work.
I simply can not put into words the gratitude myself and my family have for what she has done for us in our battle against L&I and my employer, we thought we were going to be homeless, lose my job, even have to pay back almost $50,000. But we had a true warrior on our side, and it was worth every single penny. Even though she didn't get enough pennies. I do not recommend anyone else but Sue Holm when I hear someone is having an issue with work related injuries. And if, good forbid, I ever get injured at work again, even if it's a simple paper cut, I'm not doing any thing first before contacting her. She'll hear from me before a doctor sees me. L&I is not there for the workers, they're there for the corporations, you need someone that's there for you, and there simply is no one better than Sue. If she says "do this", GO DO IT! Communicate with her, and listen to her advice. When you need a dog in the fight for you, Sue is the Cane Corso you need.

We contacted a number of attonreys in hopes of finding someone who could help us with our daughter’s diability benefits. Sue was the only attorney who responded to our inquiry. Her response was fast and complete, and she was clearly very knowledgable about disability law. As a fellow attorney (who knows nothing about disability law) I would highly recommend her.

I had contacted a disability attorney whose office was close to me. He didn’t even listen to me or return my call. I was distraught. If you’re at the point you need a disability lawyer, you are already in pain and in need, financially. I read the reviews on AVVO on Susan Holm. I took the chance and called her. She screened my case during the call. She accepted my case. She met with me. After sitting with me for a few hours, we filled out what would be a saving grace for me. Susan’s counsel and advice and more importantly, compassion, helped me through the process. There are questions that she asked me that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own that I’m sure helped my case. I guess you can go through the system on your own but I wouldn’t suggest it. Someone like Susan has years of experience that will help give you clear expectations for your case. I was fortunate enough to have my case approved the first time through, within 4 months. I am not expected to return to work given my extensive health problems, but I am glad I will be receiving SSDI benefits to help with my lost income. Having it approved the first time is not the norm, by far. And by no means should you take away from me that your case will be approved the first time, or if it is, within 4 months. What I can honestly tell you is that I have no doubt that the assistance from Susan in preparing the application the first time did help. Susan anticipated what would definitely help. Her years of experience is so valuable in that regard. For me, going to Susan was worth it. I have no qualms about suggesting Susan to anyone seeking SSDI. I would suggest that before you meet with her, you gather all these important items: Doctor’s full names, their addresses, their phone and fax numbers, what they’re treating you for, the last appointment date you had with them, the next future appointment date, all medications you’re taking and for what conditions, ALL possible conditions you’ve been diagnosed with, and a journal of your physical and mental struggles. Also, employer’s FMLA documentation may help as well as the last 6 months of paystubs. I was prepared and Susan appreciated the preparation. Good luck and I hope health returns to you. But in any case, I hope you get the financial help from SSDI. I needed competence in a lawyer. I hoped for compassion considering my circumstances. Susan Holm provides both.

I had an exceptional experience working with Kelsey Ault as my lawyer. From the very first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a genuine commitment to my case. Kelsey was incredibly attentive, always taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions thoroughly.
What truly sets Kelsey apart is her professionalism and dedication. She was proactive in keeping me updated on the progress of my case and always made sure I understood the next steps. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, and she worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.
Kelsey is not only a skilled attorney but also a compassionate person who genuinely cares about her clients. I felt supported and confident knowing she was in my corner. I highly recommend Kelsey Ault to anyone in need of legal representation. Her expertise, integrity, and personalized approach make her an outstanding lawyer!

Why Nick Pontarolo should represent you if you have been injured on the job!
Read this Post to the end and you will clearly see why you need Nick and this Firm!
I'm 65 years old and have worked hard Construction Labor for most of my life until I injured my shoulder at the end of 2018. That is when I opened my first "Workers Comp Claim" and
after many Exams, Tests and Scans, an Orthopedic Surgeon told me that I had "Stage 4 Osteoarthritis" on top of other serious complications that would have caused me to need a Shoulder Replacement in the very near future, especially if I kept working at my trade.
I did not seek any legal counsel at the time and had to go back to work "light duty" in spite of my ongoing condition. I then was immediately reinjured after being taken off of "light duty" in middle of 2019! I saw the "Company's Preferred Doctor" that wouldn't even prescribe pain medication, despite the obvious pain I was in. I decided to call a good friend of mine that is an Employment Attorney in Portland to ask his advice. He told me that he would find me good Attorney in Spokane and through his research he gave me a short list and Nick Pontarolo's name was right on top. I called Nick and he took immediate action and control as he represented and guided me through a maze of "BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE" involving Doctors, Employers, Attorneys, Therapists, Vocational Rehabilitation Councilors and even more.
Because of Nick's connections, I have had one of the premier Shoulder Surgeons in the Country replace my shoulder and some of the best rehabilitation experts throughout the region working with me as well. While all this was going on, I never missed a "Time Loss' compensation check for 4+ years.
I'm now retired, and my claim just closed and without Nick's professional representation and expertise for these last 4+ years, I truly believe that I would have lost everything I've ever worked for my entire life.
Nick,
You treated me like family and did an incredible job and for that I am forever grateful...
Patrick
PS- Also, I want to thank all the Attorney's and Office Staff for the combined team effort and supporting rolls you all played for my well-being and all while I was enjoying the view from the 12th floor of the Chase Bank Building Downtown Spokane.

My husband was heavily medicated as he was under hospice care for stage 4 cancer. I was medicated due to depression. Mr Curran was recommended to us by Spokane Hospice as someone who would come to our house to update my husband's will. I do not believe Mr Curran did his best work for us. My husband was very distraught and agitated, I did my best not to upset him anymore than necessary, and signed off on his will. Unfortunately, even though he asked if I understood what I was signing off on, I still signed, walked away crying and let the witnesses finish up with the lawyer. I understood that the will said everything was going to his children, but I also assumed I could contest the will, as signing was an act of kindness to a dying man, who repeatedly told me not to worry, that I was being taken care of. When Mr Curran left our home, he took my phone with him. It was three days of me looking before he called to say he had it.
When my husband passed away his sisters were the executors of the estate. Imagine my suprise when 5 weeks after his passing, after living in this house for 10 years, I was served with an eviction notice... 3 days to get out, served on me by his sister and written up by none other than Mr Curran. Was he my husband's lawyer or his sister's lawyer? I felt there was some conflict of interest... probably wrong on that point, but still I don't think he took in my husband's mental state, or mine, into consideration. He most certainly did not consider what happened to me afterwards, and Oh My Gosh. He took my phone.

I have nothing but absolute praise and adoration for this company, Steve and Debby particularly. I was in a car accident in 2020 that left me with permanent injuries and a totaled car and Steve and Debby were my team from day one. They took care of everything and really let me focus on healing and managing my life instead of panicking about how to handle this new situation.
They treated me with respect, kindness and worked their butts off for me and I will never have enough kind words to say or recommendations to give. I’m blown away by their professionalism and ability to walk me through these complicated matters.

I felt like an attorney would be my best option for assistance. In total I worked with Hatfield Law (HL) for a little over two years regarding my disability case.
The HL office quickly jumped in to assist and constantly kept me informed. I provided them with the info needed to get started. They literally took care of the rest. It can become overwhelming reading and filling out paperwork. And having a dedicated attorney support helped me in times I felt like i couldn’t continue alone.
At times, contacting the law office by phone was difficult, and voicemails sometimes went unanswered. But Mr. Hatfield provided me with e-mails he and staff could also be reached. HL exhibited organization, professionalism and true passion for the clients they serve. I recommend Hatfield Law.

I think it is safe to say that nobody ever wants to need a disability attorney, however; unfortunately, life and accidents happen. When I was faced with a life changing circumstance, and suddenly found myself in need of filing for long-term disability and SS benefits, I was overwhelmed. To be dealing with a new normal with countless doctor appointments, paperwork, and constant questionnaires, I was scared, frustrated and confused. I came to the realization that I needed support. Researching and hiring a lawyer was not a task that I took lightly.
Choosing David Oliver was the BEST decision I ever made. David and his team were professional, reassuring, accessible, and direct. They returned calls timely and never made me feel like I was an inconvenience or that my questions were ignorant. Appointment times were respected, and if he was running behind, I was always given a heads up prior. I felt that my personal time was valued.
I hope I will not ever have to recommend anyone to a SS&D attorney, yet should the need arise, this office receives my utmost respect and would get my unwavering recommendation.

I hired Garguile when I received a traffic ticket with special circumstances. Basically, I was behind a landscaping truck in the slow lane that started losing debris out of their uncovered trailer. I was afraid to get debris on my car for fear of something coming through the windshield. When it was safe to do so, I passed on the fast lane and exceeded the speed limit in doing so. I immediately went back to the slow lane only to get pulled over for speeding. While I admit I was speeding, I did so for the safety of my family, and it was for seconds to get around the trailer that was not covered as it should have been spilling debris all over the road.
Garguile was very responsive, communicated great, and ultimately got the ticket dismissed.
I could have paid the ticket, but the cost of increased insurance premiums over time would have far exceeded the cost of Garguile - not to mention the special circumstances that I thought was a reasonable exception and wanted to prove my point to WSP.
Insurance companies profit billions of dollars a year, I didn't want to give them another reason to add to their greedy profits!

Look no Further! I do not even know how to start or express my sincere Gratitude for this family ran law firm. If your like me you have spent hours/days to try and find someone to hear you out, once you finally get a meeting, you feel hesitant because you feel like most of the other firms are there to treat you like a number and another paycheck.
:ets put it this way, My L&I Claim Manager said this, Todd and his Law firm is unique among the rest of them and its unheard of for most law firms once they lock you into a contract to be willing to be consistent, as responsive and willing to do what's ethically and morally right for you. I had my workers compensation claim approved quickly with the help of Todd and his family (Law firm) compared to when I was trying to do it on my own it was like pulling teeth. Which don't do it, it really adds insult to injury and the extra stress makes the recovery even harder.
I had blown out my lower back on the job but I think the injury doesn't matter as some lawyers say they are experts for your specific injury and others may not be. IMO this is an attempt to convince you to go with them but Todd Doran has the experience and any case relevant to Washington Workers compensation or an L&I claim is relevant to his practice in my opinion because ethics and understanding play a greater weighted roll when your talking about life changing injuries and looking for someone to help you for the long term.
I could say more but it would become a book and I wasn't paid to write this, I was represented by Todd Doran and his Law office and truly appreciated what he did for me. I wish his google page was at the top of the list when you search, Workers Compensation lawyers Spokane wa because it would have saved me about a week of calling around and going through the riga-morol of vetting the good, bad and the righteous.

My attorney, Rosemary Schurman, wrote a brief that worked to overturn a decision and won my case. I had all but given up because it was so complicated. She was able to point out all of the key reasons I should win my case in a very organized and smart manner. She is a professional that made herself available to answer all of my questions. I am so grateful that I was recommended to her.

Rosemary took on my case after many appeals, hearings, and remands. It took almost 11 years to win. I wanted to give up many times, but Rosemary was always willing to talk to me and reassure me that I had a strong case and to keep fighting. This process felt impossible but having Rosemary on my side and fighting for me was the only way I got through it.

I was very near giving up as I was 5 years into my fight for SSDI. I was so grateful that Rosemary took my case as I was giving up hope. I received resolution with the court quickly, and I can only think it was because she fought for me! She was easy to contact with my concerns and my stress levels lessened through the process.

I was denied twice for social security disability. I called the company who sent a message to Nancy. She called me the same day. We had a nice conversation while gathering information on my case. She is on top of every detail. We’d speak about things she needed such as Doctor visits, Independent Medical Evaluations and work history.
Her patience is incredible. Being nervous about speaking to people that I don’t know is difficult, but Nancy put me at ease and assures you that she is in your corner.
She lets you know her credentials and experience. You, her client are the top priority, this is integrity.
After the hearing was said and done I realized how much work was put into my case. I did get an approval and she helped me through it 100%. I am thankful and lucky to have had her as my lawyer.

Nancy was wonderful at explaining the appeals process, preparing me for what to expect next and just helping to keep my spirits up when the SSDI process seemed never ending.
When it came time for the appeal hearing she walked me through how to prepare, what to expect and what would happen next if it was denied.
I have no doubt that her guidance was a huge part of why I was approved and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with SSDI

I had received a speeding citation from a cop in Pierce county. I went online to try and find an attorney to represent me. I stumbled upon Michael Sheehans reviews and saw he had helped a lot of people. I decided to have him represent me and he did not disappoint. He got my speeding citation dismissed in court and I had to pay nothing to the courts at all! He was a lifesaver for my future career and I appreciate it! It may take alittle time because of the backups in the courts system, but give Michael time and he will not disappoint you. Thank you again Michael for getting rid of the citation.

My husband had been disabled for awhile and several lawyers told us he was too young, or find him a job he could do even under the extreme circumstances of his disability. Debra truly listened, gave us clear explanations for what was happening, was extremely helpful, informative, and took our case. I believe we would still be fighting for rights without her assistance.

Laurel worked with what we provided her then went out of her way to find additional relevant information to help our case. She succeeded in getting us out of a lease where our landlord was not providing a healthy space for our family and only defended their managers. She called often and emailed regularly to let us know she was involved.

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.
