Mandy Kelly has been my VA representative since October of 2011, beginning at the University of Detroit Mercy Law School at the Veterans Clinic. Through her work she won my appeal on my original denied VA disability claim. Through the years, Mandy has represented me on several other difficult appeals and has won them all. Her thorough understanding of the VA regulations, her preparation and review of the required documentation, resulted in winning all of my VA appeals. I have recommended several friends and relatives to Mandy, and she has help them all win VA appeals. I highly recommend Mandy Kelly, and her staff at Disability Law Group, to work on your Veterans Administration appeals.

**Exceeds every expectation** If you have a valid claim and you need representation, Andrew Muirhead is the lawyer to call. He's knowledgeable, communicative, aggressive, efficient and thorough beyond expectations to make sure you are informed and prepared for every step of the process. He's on top of every aspect of your case and notifies you of any changes and/or what to expect next. He doesn't drag anything out or leave you waiting for so long you wonder if you've been forgotten in a pile of files on some case managers desk. Andrew is the epitome of integrity and the exception to the industry 'norm' most people are used to.

I hired Andrew Muirhead after attempting to file on my own and getting turned down twice. From the time I met him, Andrew inspired confidence. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained the process to me and even suggested I seek additional medical consultation with a specialist, which I did. Following his advice resulted in strengthening my case. His staff was very diligent in filing documents in a timely manner and keeping me up to date on the progress of my claim. The claim went exactly as he advised me that it would. I was awarded my disability and all has gone smoothly since. I'd recommend Andrew any day. In fact, I did recommend him to someone I know who found it necessary to file.

I began my SSDI application online with absolutely no knowledge of the process. Initially I was denied. It may sound cliche but I turned to Google to find an attorney who specialized in SSDI. I came across Mr. Andrew Muirhead’s law office site. I was apprehensive if Mr. Muirhead would take my case since I started on my own. Not only did he accept the challenge, he advised me step by step how we would proceed. Although there were many appeals and denials, he never gave up. We agreed we would follow this through to the very end. Ultimately after nearly 3 years we decided to reapply. My case was remanded by the appeals council. It took an additional 3 years, almost to the day. He believed in me and read through medical records front to back. I was informed today I was approved fully favorable. I can not express my gratitude for Mr. Muirhead and his office staff. I believe paths cross for a reason and I truly will forever respect and be grateful for the patience, guidance and professionalism he displayed throughout the lengthy process. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need for a SSDI case. Truth, trust and persistence…thank you Andrew, for everything.

We contacted Lisa to get some assistance in dealing with Social Security, this lady was not only extremely well-informed on our issue, but she answered all our questions and give us options of how to proceed without her having to represent us. She was absolutely caring and dedicated to helping us without having to be our attorney, we have never experienced that and was quite shocked at how honest and supportive she was in Freely giving us all the legal information and options we needed to be aware of. If we ever need an attorney in the future, she will definitely be our first choice, we highly recommend her.

Lisa is pleasant, organized, and effective. She's honest--never asked us to stretch the truth to benefit our case, which we greatly appreciated. To process a lot of cases at a time, she doesn't meet with clients until a hearing date is set, so don't expect an initial in-person interview. I feel she was respected by our judge for her integrity and hard work, and that helped my husband's case ("fully favorable" decision.)

Lisa recently advised me regarding a Social Security benefit matter. She was expert, thorough, and clearly explained and documented the SSA’s calculation process to me. Lisa made sure that I understood the SSA’s process used to determine the benefit and patiently answered all of my questions. Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding Social Security benefits. I’m very glad my wise attorney referred me to Lisa in this matter and highly recommended her to anyone seeking advice about Social Security matters. She could not have been more expert or helpful.

There aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Jennifer was helping me navigate the Social Security Disability process. She was recommended by a co-worker who spoke very highly of her. Throughout all of our correspondence by email and phone she was incredibly helpful and patient. Applying for and navigating the SSDI system can be very challenging for anyone, and Jennifer guided me all the way until I received my benefits. Without her help it probably would have taken years to get an approval, and it’s quite possible I would have been denied the whole way. She was very patient and explained in detail about what I needed to do in getting my medical records up to date and submitted on time, as well as making sure I filled out the forms properly. I could go on and on about how helpful, patient and professional Jennifer was for me but I’ll just say this……Jennifer is amazing at her job. If you need a lawyer to help you with SSDI you won’t find anyone better. Thank you SO MUCH Jennifer!! Ed R.

In less than one year, Brennen helped my family to settle a legal malpractice case that I’m extremely grateful for. Not only did we settle within my range, his responsiveness was unlike any professional I’ve dealt with. You can trust him on every level and he’s the “guy” to do it for you. He managed all parties (counseled me on any questions I had — responded within an hour of any emails I sent) but generally, he was the one keeping me in the loop every single month. Also… because of his networking, he actually knew the plaintiff’s attorney, which made for a friendly yet firm and strong settlement. He was the perfect lawyer for this case and I can’t recommend him enough… you are 100% in good hands with Brennen Maki.

I recommend Ed Anderson without hesitation. Our family started my daughter’s disability case before Covid 19. Due to long delays and denials, we sought the assistance of Mr. Anderson. He immediately lifted our stress. Mr. Anderson filed the appropriate paperwork quickly and answered our phone calls, emails, and requests sooner than any other attorney we have dealt with previously. Mr. Anderson explained the paperwork, the process, and court hearing which relieved our concerns. We never felt alone. The court hearing went smoothly. Without Mr. Anderson’s appearance at the hearing, I know my daughter’s case would not have been approved. If you have a disability case, please contact Mr. Anderson and let him handle the case. You will not be disappointed.

The reason Ed Anderson’s reviews are so positive and encouraging is due to the simple fact that he is absolutely the best of the best. Ed is truly a considerate attorney, never making me feel uncomfortable about my diseases. Ed’s presentation of my medical and work documents were exceptionally well structured. I have to mention that the entire office works closely together in regard to acquiring documentation, and Dana, the paralegal I have been working with is incredible.

At the recommendation of family, I hired a local social security disability Lawyer from Ft. Smith, AR in March 2022. After months of me going to Doctors appointments, filling out forms, obtaining medical records, etc. I received a letter from him in August of 2023 saying he had closed his business! I was at a loss and didn’t know what to do. I called Laura McKinnon’s office in September 2023 and she thankfully agreed to take my case. I knew nothing about her. Had only seen her commercials on TV. She and her staff were most courteous and professional and stayed in constant touch with me throughout this process. I am happy to say that in May of 2024 she won my social security disability case for me! Couldn’t have done it without her! I highly recommend Laura McKinnon!!!

I remember early on when Donna said, "We intend to mount a vigorous defense." I believed in her and she believed in me. There is no one I would trust more than Donna Kuchler and her law firm. They prepared for my court trial filing numerous motions to dismiss, including those that were sent to the Court of Appeals. Together we fought the fight, ran the race, and I was found not guilty on all 7 felony charges and was fully acquitted by the judge in a court trial. I have my life back.

I met with several law offices to discuss my case but Richard Seelig & Philip Seelig, left me feeling I was being directed by experienced & capable hands. They discussed my options & chances of a positive outcome while guiding me with accurate knowledge & experience of obtaining Social Security Disability benefits (including loss of income). Keep in mind, this is a process dealing with government appointed doctors and could seem frustrating, overwhelming & my anxiety is through the roof at times, yet, all calls, texts & emails of concern were always responded to promptly by Richard Seelig or Philip Seelig with a phone call with honest, detailed answers. Also, Joshua Gohari was patient, proficient & beneficial regarding my medical reviews. Whenever I thought it seemed bleak, he was understanding and spoke compassionately. I always felt supported by their team, without exception, all impressions are made on the 1st call or in person meeting and being greeted by Angel is a plus for Seelig offices.

I will start off with my personal experience of saying that I did not realize that long term disability companies were only in the business of rejecting claims with the hope that you ultimately give up. To take the time to fight them you need a team of legal professionals that have a wealth of experience in dealing with their tactics and can help connect the dots. My husband and I will forever be thankful for the team at The Law Offices of Nancy L. Cavey! Nancy, Krysti and their team fought and won my husbands long term disability case for him and it has put our lives back together. It was a daunting task facing the complex world of long term disability but Nancy Cavey law firm expertly guided us every step of the way! Krysti, specifically, was so attentive to our questions and concerns and we appreciate her so much! We know without their help we would have never seen a dime. This office will be a tireless, hardworking and honest advocate for you and is the only law office we recommend. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us Nancy Cavey Law.

There are few things more daunting than applying for disability and having to prove your disability while suffering and desperate for help. Nancy Cavey and her team are experienced, professional, SUCCESSFUL, compassionate, extremely competent and are on the side of TRUTH. Nobody asks for a debilitating illness or injury. Losing One’s livelihood can be devastating and scary and it is cruel that deserving applicants are often denied. Rest assured that Cavey Law will help you every step of the way by fully understanding your unique situation and helping you provide the documentation needed to receive the help you desperately need and deserve. I have a very severe, painful and complicated chronic illness and I honestly do not believe I would be here today if Cavey Law had not represented me and won my difficult case. They give you timelines, tell you what you need to do, what THEY will be doing on your behalf and what to expect along the way. Instead of getting bogged down or distracted by less important aspects of your case or irrelevant paperwork, they streamline what you need to focus on and you can let go of the rest and let them do their work! Ms Cavey’s experience, track record, reputation and professionalism are all in your favor. If you have a hearing, rest assured Ms Cavey knows how to fight for your case and your benefits. If she takes you on as a client, she believes you and it shows. The best thing you can do to experience any quality of life again is have Cavey in your Corner!

I used Attorney Zeldin in my social security disability case. He represented me in Fort Lauderdale at my administrative judge hearing. Mr. Zeldin was always very reachable, excellent office staff, returned phone calls, and was very honest. If it was not for him being at my hearing and the points he made, I do not think I would have been approved. I highly recommend him, he will work hard for you.

Randy was very attentive and thorough with dealing with the evidence of my case. He never promised anything and explained the whole process very well. Couldn't ask for a better lawyer that made you feel at ease and comfortable in this type of situation. We won at my hearing and prior to hearing he sat down and explained how the hearing goes so well that I felt more comfortable as I walked into the room. I would truly recommend Randy in a heartbeat!!!!

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

I've worked with Geri and her team on and off since 2013. She has expertly guided us through several visa applications, extensions, permanent residency, and eventually U.S. citizenship. Even with our case's somewhat unusual circumstances, Geri navigated us through the hurdles and challenging times. Throughout, Geri has been a calm, helpful, and knowledgeable attorney. We always felt not only in very good hands with her and her team, but also genuinely supported and understood. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone seeking compassionate and competent legal assistance.

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

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

Diane C. Haar has a wonderful team, very comprehensive, very prepared. We had social security disability case. The office is professional and prompt in all of the responses. The process went from being frustrating and confusing when I was doing it on my own to straightforward and although it still took a long time, the Attorney and her team was completely supportive, knowledgeable and well informed. We were completely supported all along the way. They are very good at screening the case and they are very honest whether or not the case has merit. Even afterward, when I had questions the office staff was there to answer questions and help with the bureaucracy.

Came to my hospital bed to interview me for my case, the system is backed up but she never failed to keep me updated as to my case's schedule. Worked with me to identify my doctors, hospital records, surgery, etc. and kept it concise and focused on my injury/disability. Also treated me with kindness and her associates are extremely helpful and informative so if you cannot reach Ms. Harr, you will get someone who WILL help you get in touch with her.

When searching for a disability lawyer online, it is easy to be swept up into a giant mainland firm that may not always understand the unique landscape of Hawaii Veterans and residents. I was very pleased to see Diane C. Haar listed as an approved lawyer on Veterans Disability website. She knows the correct person to reach out to and how to get the job done. We are extremely grateful for her professional guidance. Diane C. Haar takes the time to listen with genuine compassion and concern. She provides prompt, personal attention and has proven to be an excellent lawyer. During the early onset of Covid she and her team responded with timely and useful legal advice. They have been an amazing source of information and advised us on programs that we did not even know existed. She successfully advised us on my daughter's military and SSDI disability claims.

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.
