Holly, I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me. You were incredible and saved my family. Not only have you been most supportive and attentive, but you demonstrated what "giving your all" really means. In turn, I gave all I had and resulted in reuniting my family. Your legal knowledge and advice is second to none. You are always presentable, well spoken, fair and prompt. My savior and the only person to have as not only your lawyer, but your friend and guide through legal, personal and/or emotional situations. I will always be grateful for you. Thank you for all you've done.

I contacted Craig 13 years ago and after speaking with him and meeting him to discuss Chapter 7 bankruptcy I hired him to handle the case. He did an excellent job and I can't tell how you how impressed I was with his service. Fast forward to 2013 as a result of divorce I reached back out to him for help and just like he did 13 years ago he was there to help me out and I am glad that I did. What sets Craig apart from other attorneys in the area is that he is a down to earth easy spoken straight up guy who you can feel comfortable speaking to. From the first initial meeting with Craig he walks you through everything explaining the pros and cons and develops a strategy that best fits your situation. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable in his field and is always available if you have any questions or concerns. I have referred several people to Craig, who have unfortunately gone through similar situations that I have, and every one hired Craig to represent them. If your looking for top notch service I would highly recommend you reach out to Craig.

What impressed me the most is he's not you're stereotypical uptight lawyer, he's a real guy & you can talk to him without fear of judgement. I hired him because I trusted him & his fees fit my budget. He knew the process & was with me throughout as was his incredible support staff. You become their priority & when you have questions or concerns about what's happening you can count on their support for answers. When the court date came, Craig was early, prepared, & on point. We had the only case in court without issue or missing documentation. Outside the court room, he's just like you & me. Highly recommended to make a difficult time as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Craig & Tom.

Mr. Sapienza is the most honest, straight forward, no holds barred man I have ever met. I was hurt at work in 1999. I had 3 back surgeries between 2000 and 2002 and I was only in my early twenties and couldn't work. I applied for social security disability and was denied. I knew it was time to find an attorney and get the legal help I needed. Two small mouths at home to feed and a husband that was working 3 jobs just to keep food in our mouths was the hard journey we were facing. When I first met Mr. Sapienza he told me he would take my case, but that we had a hard fight ahead of us. He told me I had two strikes against me already, one, I was young and two, I didn't look like I was disabled. I just wanted to cry. I couldn't lift over 5lbs, I had to have help washing my hair and I could even pick up my two young daughters. Mr. Sapienza looked at and said " I said it wasn't going to be easy, but I will fight for you!" I felt a wave of relief and the journey started. I called Mr. Sapienza frequently frustrated with the slow government process and each time he took my calls or called me back within 24 hours. Each time he answered ALL my questions, explained all the technical jargon in laymans terms and would tell me to hang in there and not give up. We filled out form after form and waited patiently for the next step. In the end we ended up in Pittsburgh in front of the Workers Compensation review board, I underwent a gruelling physical and demanding questions all with my smiling, encouraging attorney by my side. I was determined disabled and started to cry. It is one thing to know you have disabilities, but its something totally different to be told that you are basically useless. I thanked Mr. Sapienza for sticking by me with all the odds against me and for putting up with all my neurotic pestering. I stayed on Disability until around 2005 and many bouts of physical therapy. I have since gone back to work, took college courses for a medical career and have been working ever since for a local doctors office. Mr. Sapienza taught me that a disability isn't my life, it's just a stepping stone along the way. Thank you again Mr. Sapienza, you are an absolutely amazing attorney, man and all around human being. God bless.

Mr. Sapienza took my call and helped me stay calm till we meet the following day. He went to bat once again and assured us that the issue would get handled. And of course it did. He took the time to meet with us and help us through everything. My family will always trust and use Attorney Sapienza.

My family encouraged me to file for Social Security Disability, I kept putting it off because I didn't feel good and felt overwhelmed when I would log on to the SSDI site to start a claim. I stopped by Roger Ousey's office after a doctor appointment one day. Cheryl Ousey met with me right away, then looked up my information and pointed out I only had about a month to get it started before I missed a time frame to file! So I went home and filled out by hand many pages to file, and turned those over with an immense pile of doctor reports, test results, etc. - and they inputted all of those for me. Roger Ousey kept me informed along the way - and he or his staff were always there to answer any questions for me - no matter how trivial. Their work ethic is above and beyond - especially taking on a case without knowing for certain I would receive benefits - and they would then get paid. When my court date finally came up - Mr. Ousey was with me - as he had been all through the long process of waiting to get to court. And I was so pleased that I received my benefits!

My partner and had our children ripped from us without warning. It was a complicated and not a common case for any attorney - especially in a conservative state and city like Houston, TX. The odds were stacked up against us from the moment our children were taken away from our home by the other party. One lawyer we consulted with told us straight up and forward, " You will not win. She will win; but you can try and give it a shot". This partcular lawyer had 25 years experience in family law. Needless to say, we were not surprised. We understood this case wasn't for any everyday lawyer. Our case required a skilled, talented, and confident lawyer. A lawyer with a combination of experience and natural ability and skills set to work this case. From the moment we initally spoke to Ashley, we knew she was the one! Ashley took a complicated, unique and challening case that most lawyers would shy away from. Ashley said it would not be easy, but believed we could win our fight for our girls. Ashley helped us managed the most stressful event in our lives. Ashley returned calls, emails, texts in what seemed instantly at times. When you are stressed, unsure and full of questions and doubts - trust me -getting a response quickly helps a ton! Ashley was organized and so well prepared for each meeting with the judge and hearings. Ashley would object to the opposing attorney before she could end her sentence. Even if the opposing party's line of questioning is overruled, you cannot erase what was said from a person's mind. Ashley knows this well, and is always ready to put the opposing party's counsel in check! Ashley was able to get the other party to admit facts on the record that we thought would never happen. Presented evidence in a way to prove our case and our character. Ashley remembers details that even we forgot! Useful when reexaming the other party. Things started to unwind and lies were coming to light. Ashley's line of questioning had us saying "she is genius!!" Ashley was tough and fought for us every minute of the way. Ashley took our case and made it feel personal. We knew in our hearts, Ashley was dedicated to our case, and determined to win our case. In the end, we won our case! A case which we were told we would lose, Ashley won. In a case were mothers are always given the benefit of the doubt, and always favored by the courts, we won! Ashley is a rare gem in the world of attorneys. Ashley to me is a quality attorney usually reserved for the rich and privileged. We are blessed and fortunate to have had Ashely Coleman represent us. Ashley is the reason we have our two beautiful babies at home. Ashley is now considered family. Ashley Coleman will always have a special place in our hearts and we are forever grateful for her hard work, dedication, passion and determination in winning and fighting our case! To say that I highly recommend Ashley Coleman, is a major understatement!

JoAnna Suyes and her paralegal Christy Bixby were incredibly helpful from the first day I stepped foot into Marks & Harrison until 3 plus years later that I had my disability hearing. During the 3 year long process both JoAnna and Christy kept me informed of any and all changes as well the progression of my hearing. JoAnna was very positive, comforting, and reassuring each time that I either spoke to her or that I met with her which was so very important and appreciated, through a most difficult time. After my disability hearing, JoAnna was quite on point with how she felt the decisioning would be. I've not yet received the decisioning of my case but I can say with the strictest convictions either way the decision goes I couldn't have chosen a better attorney. Thank you JoAnna & Christy

They were upfront and honest with me the entire time and never let me lose hope with kind words and a good sense of humor. It was an experience that I don't want to repeat, but if I had to, I would not go any other way. Joanna was able to tell me what she thought of the hearing/what decision the judge would make when we left. She was available to answer questions after my FAVORABLE decision and I will continue to send people to Joanna and Marks and Harrison.

Joanna helped me obtain social security disability even after my private disability denied me twice. She was very thorough and stayed in touch with me about exactly what information I needed to provide. She made a difficult situation for me much easier. I would recommend Joanna highly !

Mr. Peel recently represented me in motorcycle accident. The case took a long time but he and his staff stuck with it in a professional manner that kept me at ease. When the case ended up in mediation, Mr. Peel not only wisely advised me and my wife during the process but he was on the phone with the insurance companies and hospital reducing the amount that we would pay from the settlement. This in no way increased the amount that we would pay to Mr. Peel but increased the amount of money we would keep. He didn't charge us an extra fee for this service which reflects his character and integrity. David became our friend through this process. I can't thank him enough.

Mr. Peel is an honest, hard-working, Godly man who exhibits a level of professionalism and care that is uncommon in his field. His responses are timely, his attention to detail is strong, and his character is admirable. Mr. Peel invested a level of personal interest and care in myself and my case. I didn't feel like just another number, or just another client. I felt like a real person and was treated with genuine concern and respect. As far as the case, the results that Mr. Peel has worked for have exceeded my expectations. Mr. Peel and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with, and are highly recommended.

I was at a complete loss after being hit / partially crushed by a intoxicated driver, then I found Linda she treated me with dignity and respect . She went the extra mile with me all the way to my court hearing where I received a fully favorable determination and I was awarded my much needed SSDI . Its been 3 years now I must reprove my need for SSDI once again she is there for me. Stop searching attorneys you have found the best and she wont let you down. Thanks again Linda...

Let me start off by saying he is not my attorney. Though I wish he was. I contacted Mr. Flatt with some clarifying question I had regarding my case, seeing that I was not getting the answers from my own attorney. This man is AMAZING! He listened to my concerns, then took the time to explain step by step what was actually going on with my case. He is extremely knowledgeable around workers comp law and will certainly steer you in the right direction. Most important, he will take the time to be sure you have a full understanding about your case and advise you on best next steps. It is with great appreciation I recommend this Lawyer.

I had consulted with Mr. Rubenstein, regarding my case against my employer, related to unpaid commissions. Mr. Rubenstein was an excellent communicator, was caring and took time to learn about my case and my concerns. Although Mr. Rubenstein was not able to assist me with my case, he took the time to personally introduce me to an associate of his, who, managed to successfully negotiate my case on my behalf. Mr Rubenstein treated me with dignity and respect, and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Andy is an attorney that I trust in his profession & as my friend I would tell anyone that wants an attorney that will do his utmost to get you what you deserve and no stone will go unturned because he is about ensuring that his clients what they deserve. I am so pleased that I had him in my corner because if it were not for him I would not be here today. The hospital said after my almost a year in a coma that the plug should be pulled on me because I was going to be a vegetable, now I will say that I am not 100% but I am definitely not a vegetable after 20 surgeries which included replacements that I have had to have done. This wonderful young talented attorney that I also call my friend for life did not and would not allow them to be judge jury and executioner and that I why I am here and can share this with you.

He did not lie or try to pump up any expectations. After he read the contract I was involved in, we found out it would have to be handled entirely different state. He did not proceed and try to charge me for frivolous services or try to throw up smoke & mirrors in order to bill me more hours!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
