I could honestly not say enough about this man. He has helped me and my husband so much. We absolutely had not one answer to the questions we had but when we came to Larry he dove in head first and got our answers. This man would go to the ends of the earth for his clients. I have never seen anybody work so hard for someone. Most lawyers today only want money, well Larry wants to help you get everything that you deserve. If you hire him I promise you he will not let you down. you have my word on that. I thank God in heaven for sending us Larry to get our answers.

I was injured in an accident @ Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) Killen Station, Rome Ohio on Apr. 19th, 2013. I suffered multiple Life changing injuries which required numerous surgeries from spinal injuries, broken ankle, torn tendons. Mr. Kime and his staff were relentless in handling of all paperwork through Workers Comp. to make sure all C-9's & Medco 14's were properly submitted in a timely manner so I could concentrate on dealing & scheduling all surgeries for needed treatment & all post operative therapies with all the Drs. I have had to deal with. At the same time Mr. Kime & staff making sure I was paid during treatment & recovery. I can't begin to thank Todd & his staff enough for all help during my time of need. I only hope & pray that no one has to go thru the events that I have had to endure, but in case of workplace injuries no matter how big or small, I Very Highly recommend the Law Office of Todd Garfield Kime in the handling of all your Workers Comp. needs! He has truly been a Godsend in helping me & my family get thru these past 6+ yrs & counting of some very difficult, painfull, & very emotional times in my life. I could not have gotten thru this without the help of him & his staff! With that being said, if one is ever injured at work, save yourself a huge headache & call the office of Todd Garfield Kime-You WON'T regret it!

My attorney for a Workers Comp case, Todd Kime is a pit bull! He has fought for me in a way that I found amazing. If you have a Workers Comp case and need an Attorney to fight for you don’t look any further, hire Todd!

Carrie, took our case after meeting with us in an effort to help us. She was upfront about the issues she saw and the hurdles ahead. However, despite those challenges she was moved by what they did to my wife and she took the the case. Carrie fought it and won. I wish I could write so much more, but the bottom line is she treated us like family. She was caring, compassionate, and she fought the other side like crazy until she got results. Thank you Carrie, and I’m so glad the God allowed our paths to cross. Best of luck!

After much research, and calling Mr. McGraw's office. Terry and his staff clearly had the experience and knowledge to handle my WC claim. He explained the process, and knows the system. He provides peace of mind and genuinely cares about your well being. A very hard worker. He follows up in a timely fashion at all hours.
Call Terry First!

I had an attorney back out on me just a weekend before my Monday hearing, scrambling to find help on such sort notice, Terry answered the call! Like most attorneys I spoke to, he was unable to be there BUT instead of writing me off. He talked with me and walked me through everything! Talked me through my information and informed how it should be used to go in favor. How to handle the hearing as a whole. He was very knowledgeable! Very friendly and showed a lot of compassion for someone who needed help and didn’t have anyone else to turn to! I whole heartedly recommend Terry! To put it simply, he was a life saver!

I retained Ruanjsan law firm to help with a case in December 2023. They guided me through the entire process and answered all my questions quickly. They helped me get the best possible outcome.
In August 2024, I received a letter from the court with the same charges. I was confused but Ruanjsan law firm looked into it and found it was a duplicate filing and immediately helped me resolved it. I had to attend court again and my attorney came along to help me even though he did not have to and he did not charge me. Their service is unmatched. I highly recommend Ruanjsan law firm!

It was marvelous. I am handicapped and had an incident where I was pushed with verbal insults at work. This law firm is full on cases and cannot accept new client. However they took the time, out of their busy day, to send 3 referrals of law firms that may be able to assist in this matter. That is above and beyond the call of duty THANK YOU.

Attorney Morgan Gray successfully handled my Disability Retirement Pension with a local municipality where I served as a Firefighter. Attorney Gray and his staff were responsive, professional and friendly. I would strongly recommend his firm for your worker's compensation, Social Security, Disability or Maritime Law legal representation.

Being placed on worker compensation for an injury/illness that I contracted on the job was devasting. I worked with my doctors and employer to get back to work in the best capacity that I was able to. When the injury/illness kept coming back and my job was being threatened I was referred to Attorney Gray by another attorney to protect myself. I knew very little about workers compensation laws and what my rights were as an injured employer. I am very grateful for his knowledge, responsiveness, compassion and integirty in how he is helping me and continues to help me with my case.

Brandie has been extremely patient and professional with me. I was/am scared as when you hire an attorney this means things are not under control in your world. Brandie put me at ease with her expertise and knowledge in her field. The best part of this whole nightmare I've gone through to date was meeting Brandie. What a joy she is, so down to earth so sweet. All my fears flew out the window once in her presence. We are due before the judge again very soon with my fears there, but at total ease knowing Brandie will be by my side. She's incredible with her knowledge and professionalism. If your in need of an attorney she's definitely the one.

I can't recommend the team at Walker Law Office highly enough! Both Karen and Tracey are amazing. As a chiropractor, I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years, but my experience with this office has been exceptional. After my own car accident that resulted in a significant shoulder injury that required surgery, I turned to them for help. From the moment I reached out, they provided compassionate support and expert guidance, ensuring I understood every step of the legal process. Their attention to detail and commitment to my case made a challenging time much easier to navigate.
Karen demonstrated an impressive understanding of personal injury law and its nuances. She took the time to review my medical history and the specifics of my injury, which reassured me that I was in capable hands. Her ability to articulate the medical aspects of my case to the insurance companies was invaluable, as they bridged the gap between my treatment and the legal requirements necessary to secure a more than fair settlement. This thorough approach not only relieved my stress but also helped strengthen my case.
What truly sets Walker Law Office apart is their dedication to client communication. Throughout the process, they kept me updated on every development and were always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. This level of transparency made me feel respected and valued, reinforcing my trust in their expertise. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my well-being, not just as a client but as an individual going through a difficult time.
In addition to my personal case, I have referred numerous clients to Karen in my practice. Each one has come back with positive feedback, praising the professionalism and results achieved. It's reassuring to know that my clients are in good hands, and I can confidently refer them to an attorney who understands the intricacies of personal injury cases, particularly in the context of chiropractic care. The success stories from my clients have only strengthened my faith in their capabilities.
If you're in need of a car accident attorney, look no further—this office will fight for you with unmatched dedication! They combine legal expertise with genuine compassion, making them a standout choice for anyone navigating the aftermath of an accident. I am incredibly grateful for the support they provided during my recovery, and I will continue to refer both clients and friends to Karen and her team at Walker Law Office. Their commitment to justice and client care is truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly give them a five-star rating!

My case was denied the first time while I lived in CA. I contacted Celeste after I moved here and she took on my case. We ended up winning the appeal and now I feel such relief knowing I can now afford my rent etc. Celeste is a very straight on task person. She tells it like it is but also can soothe your worries. I would recommend Celeste for anyone that needs a good Lawyer on your side.

Celeste Scalise-Qubrosi and her staff are thorough, professional, and compassionate. They took a thorough medical/surgical history, provided me with authorization for release of medical information which I signed and returned to the Attorney. She then obtained necessary documents for filing and remained diligent and in touch with me through out the process. In the end, it went seamlessly and I am very happy with the results.

I have social anxiety and other mental health issues, which makes it difficult for me to interact with those in positions of authority, especially if they are men. When I had to seek a lawyer for my disability case, he was the first one to pop up. I was very wary about the whole ordeal because of my mental health issues, but I'm so glad we connected. I brought my mother with me to the first meeting and I could tell that he really listened to my story. He asked questions and made sure we both knew exactly what was going to happen. I could contact him easily through text, email, or his online portal, and with someone with social anxiety, one of the triggers is talking on the phone so I was happy that I could text. He was very easy to communicate with and I feel he represented me very well. He fought for me and we won!

Attorney Anton ( Tony )Ficek stood by me and for me when I couldn't stand alone. The tenacity to continue to fight on behalf of my case after two denials was exemplary. I thought it was over, but he didn't. Anton took his personal time to call after hours and see how I was doing mentally and physically. I wasn't just a case, I was a person that mattered. Two years later we won. It's definitely not always easy, but with him at your side it's definitely not always rough. He listens, he cares, and he wins. That'll make you a winner too. Our win literally changed my life. It gives me access to a life I thought impossible (gives not gave). Anton, I wish you, the firm, current and future clients success. You deserve it and so much more. Thank you.

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “that’s the type of person I’d love to sit next to...but not across from?” Lawyer Richard Jaffe is that man to me! HE WON E-V-E-R-Y MOTION IN BOTH of my extremely difficult WC AND SSD CASES! Richard Jaffe looks out for YOU! I know how hard it is to put your trust, your LIFE in someone else’s hands...But I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. He’s there fighting for what you want, your needs, your rights.He doesn’t pressure you to settle and again he WON every motion, every case, every argument, every settlement...he won them for me...even the ones we thought were long shots!!!
I’ve always felt seen, heard, supported and important. I have thrown some extremely difficult, at times dire situations at him. Yet somehow he’s always pulling through for me! Due to my injuries I get overwhelmed, confused, forgetful and wound up.Richard is always patient with me, is able to calm me down quickly and easily. I always feel reassured after talking with him. He’ll tell you like it is...nicely...no bs or fluff, which I truly appreciate!
He has very fair to YOU payment arrangements, unlike others I met in the past. I wish I would have found him earlier, it would have prevented so many tears, wasted years and so much anxiety!
I honestly don’t know what I would have done or what would have happened if I didn’t find Richard Jaffe! He swooped in an saved me several years ago. I have very high expectations which are not easily or commonly met. Richard Jaffe and his Paralegal Christina have EXCEEDED my expectations and continue to do so. I couldn’t be happier!!! I am a real client. I truly recommend this Lawyer!!!!

The team at Bemis, Roach & Reed, specifically Ms. Monica Mendez and Mr. Greg Reed provided guidance, communication and legal assistance at first class level. Going through the process was stressful until I contacted BR&R. From the moment I met Ms. Mendez and Mr. Reed I trusted the process.
The guidance and communication from Ms. Mendez was timely and accurate. She is professional and compassionate. Her continued reassurance through-out the process was heartfelt.
Each case is unique. Mr. Greg Reed was direct, action specific and approachable. His legal knowledge, timeliness, and deliverables are invaluable.
I am thankful for BR&R.

First time, I applied my son online for SSDI three months ago, and the case was denied. I was looking for a lawyer who will explain me how SSDI works and will help in second round. I talked to Chris by phone several times and he always was available and had time to explain all problems I’m facing for. Next, we met in his office, and he was more detailed on the stages I will go during the disability process. He was honest with me and said that my case is not easy, but I shouldn’t give up. He didn’t take the case now, but offered me to call him with any questions and keep in touch. He is very knowledgeable and provides free consultation anytime potential clients call him. I would recommend him to anybody who needs professional advice. If you be lucky, he will take your case and help to win.

I hired Michelle when I was at the hearing level. Due to other circumstances I had to use a larger firm for the application and reconsideration levels. What a difference! I wish I had hired her earlier! The whole process is very stressful, but Michelle was very kind in calming my nerves. The hearing was convened via telephone due to covid 19. Michelle took my information and completed a brief for the hearing. The judge commented that my lawyer had done a very good job which resulted in a short hearing of 10 minutes. 30 days later I had a Fully Favorable Decision in hand. Best decision I made was to hire her, I highly recommend Michelle. She also helped a few other people I know.

What I want to say about GB does not fit here because is so much.
Gabby Raful and Mike Malvay handled my truck accident and have since become family to me.
From the moment that you walk in you can feel the trust and positivity. Yohalna, the paralegal in the front makes you feel comfortable. Javier the Philly paralegal also makes you feel comfortable
Gabby and Mike give 100 percent. Gabby is one of those rare attorneys that text you and keeps you posted all the time even on weekends.They don't think about money, they think and give you what's best for you. You can feel the trust and security. Gabby is simply amazing, and they make a dream team. I am Gabby s number one fan. What I appreciated the most was that I would call Gabby and she would call or text immediately right back. I highly recommend them.

Trust worthy
Transparent
Dependable
And full of knowledge
The ability that this attorney has to get her client what they may need is incredible.
Gabriela Raful was able to get me the settlement that I deserved and that I became more than grateful for.

Steven is an excellent lawyer. Not only did he handle my case professionally, he did it as fast as humanly possible. I know sometimes people get preoccupied with speed. But I know, if you're, good you're in demand. Fighting Worker's Comp cases are complicated at best, I don't want a lawyer who's trying to get thru my case to move to the next like fast food. Steven to his time, vetted the facts, and I'm happy with the results. "Good Work Isn't Fast, Fast Work Isn't Good" Thanks Steven for taking care of me, you're a real gem!!!!

When you don't know what your rights are, when you don't know what the laws say -it leaves you feeling powerless. Having an attorney's help gives you back that power. But finding one that's going to help is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I found a list of attorneys on a Google search and Mr Steven Harowitz was one of them. He answered the phone and I told him I had a few questions, could he help or direct me. I was expecting him to tell me that he thought I was someone else calling and that he didn't have any time. Instead, he was super kind and he answered my questions, specifically. His answers were well thought out. They made sense and they were helpful. Had I not called, I would have been ignorant of what my rights are and I wouldn't have known that what was bothering me happens to other people, regularly. Mr Harowitz even said to call back if I needed him again, which felt too good to be true. I called back and he was good for it.
He is an unexpected, pleasant surprise and I'm so glad that I found him. He's helpful and he's friendly.

Elizabeth Yard helped me win my disability case, which was 3 years in the making. Without this offices expert advice, professionalism, attention to detail and preparation I would still be disabled without benefits. I could cry I’m so thankful for Ms. Yard and her office. I won my case and I feel so much relief and gratefulness. Do NOT apply for disability benefits without her help! You’ll thank yourself later.

He was the only lawyer who would listen to my case needs. Even when nobody else would. He also treated my case as a induvial not just a another case. Mr. Webb is very professional and very friendly with me and my wife and if we had any questions he was very willing to answer them. He made the whole process very easy and I cannot say enough about Mr. Webb. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him my friends and family I will use him for any other issues that I made have in the future.

Steven Earl never gave up on my case through several appeals including two federal appeals until we finally won. He is a true professional! My medical conditions are rare and hard to understand but that didn't dissuade Mr. Earl. He was easy to talk to and he really cares about his clients. He was prepared for the hearing. His staff and especially his paralegal Laura were fantastic.

Everyone's case is different. While I've recommended Apex I never had need of their services until it was time to take my own advice. Talking with them costs nothing and if they think there is something there, they will help. They're fees are reasonable and in my case the results were beyond my expectations

I had always heard that the social security disability application process was a nightmare, would automatically be rejected, you would have to appeal and it would take 6+ months. My experience was nothing like that. From start to finish, I received my first deposit in 6 weeks with no appeal or hassle at all.

When I first came to Travis, I was confused and lacking confidence with the Workers’ Comp legal system. Prior to speaking more about Travis, please allow me to explain how I had a 2nd chance to receive excellent legal representation, and meet Travis. My original attorney (not Travis Payne) felt my case had become too complicated, and asked me to settle for what I felt was an inappropriate amount, or pay him more $ money than the previously agreed upon rate. This 1st attorney contacted my former employer’s legal team, and let them know I was soon to be without representation. I felt this was likely done to scare me into paying this attorney what I felt was borderline extortion. Maybe this money was needed to keep up the payments in the opulently decorated fancy facility? What I do know is within days, I received packages of files containing literally hundreds of legal documents. My former employer indicated since I was without an attorney, I would have “X” days to answer many questions or else. I felt I was incompetent to represent myself, and felt I was being intimidated by my former employer. I was under tremendous emotional stress, and suffering from physical pain trying to recover from a serious workplace injury. I was feeling nervous, and knew I didn't have the skill set to manage my case. Unable to think clearly, I contemplated simply dropping my case. After a few less than friendly phone calls from people representing my former employer, I began seeking representation again. I called several attorneys, but struggled to find someone who seemed to care or had sincere interest in my case. I learned some workers' compensation attorneys only seemed interested in easy cases where a person had lost a limb (or worse) during an accident. I was glad I hadn’t lost a limb, however began to feel my situation was hopeless. Here's the good part. I thank my lucky stars for having the opportunity to speak with and meet Travis Payne. When I first met him, he came down the stairs of his modest facility, and had on a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and jeans. 20 minutes later, I realized I met a true Salt-of-the-Earth Dude. In an hour, Travis taught me more about my rights than my previous attorney had in nearly a year. Travis even advised me of benefits I should have applied for months prior to meeting him. Travis told me, “Write this down, this is really important. I can’t believe your previous attorney hadn’t advised you to, but you still have time.….” Well, I felt and still feel Travis was a well-timed gift. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to truly thank him enough. He advised me during our 1st call I had a strong case. He was honest, and said it would be a lot of work, but he'd be happy to help. He organized my case quickly, and instructed my former employer to stop contacting me. What a relief! Travis’ team was outstanding! Angie in particular was always exceptionally kind. They sent me a copy of all communications to my former employer, and I never felt in the dark. They also never pressured me to settle. Travis is not a doctor, however his handling of my case genuinely helped my emotional health. Later, my case settled for 800% more $ than the previous attorney asked me to accept. Plus, thanks to Travis’ professional advice, I continue to receive very necessary benefits which I wouldn’t have known I qualified for were it not for Travis’ compassionate, honest, professional advice. Regretfully, I remain permanently disabled, however am able to live above the poverty line thanks to Travis’ ability to advocate for me, and help me see the big picture. My only regret would be not having gone to Travis 1st. I have referred family and friends to Travis, because I feel his rare combination of Honesty, Caring, and Fighting skills are truly hard to find. If you’re finding yourself like I was, and simply unsure what to do with regard to your on the job accident, I would highly recommend calling Travis first.

Approximately 7 years ago (2010), I was injured while working. My employer did not deny any claims and arranged for the medical care that I needed. Unfortunately, after several surgeries, it became clear to my doctor that I would not be able to return to work in the capacity that I did before the injury. As such, my employer started the conversation regarding medical retirement. Up to the point of retirement, I didn't feel that I necessarily needed an attorney. However, when I started moving towards the inevitable medical retirement, I retained Mr. Payne. I was impressed with him, even before hiring him. I remember calling/emailing Mr. Payne if I had a question about the work comp situation. This was BEFORE I hired him to represent me. I think it says a lot about his character and his desire to help people that get into situations like I did.
After retaining Mr. Payne, he walked me through my journey of retirement at age 27. His knowledge of the work comp system is quite impressive. I must also add that I met with 2 other attorneys before retaining Mr. Payne. The others that I contacted just seemed to really be a little preoccupied with other cases. They also were not familiar with my employers medical retirement process. However, Mr. Payne knew all about the medical retirement stuff with my employer.
I am in my 4th year of retirement, and, to this day continue to have Mr. Payne represent me. He has a wealth of knowledge because he has been doing his job for many years. I have been to hearings with the industrial commission and was very pleased that he grilled the Vocational Rehab folks.
I would certainly recommend Mr. Payne to anyone dealing with work comp mess.

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.
