When to Hire a Social Security Disability Lawyer

Admin • Dec 23, 2016

If you have a disability case and you are concerned about whether it’ll be approved, you should contact an attorney who specializes in disability and Social Security cases. Increase your chances with legal representation by following some advice:

Why Hire?

Hiring disability attorneys ensures that someone has the experience to present your case that will best work in your favor. A Social Security lawyer helps collect and submit medical evidence and doctors’ opinions. In addition, a lawyer will draft a detailed brief and prepare you for the hearing and possible questions from the judge.

When to Contact

The sooner you are able to make the call, the better. Initial consultations should be free of charge and an attorney can evaluate your case and help with the initial application. While you may be able to handle the beginning stage on your own, you will need a lawyer if the application is denied. Having an attorney also helps move your case through the system more quickly, particularly if you have a terminal medical condition or if you have dire financial circumstances that demand immediate action, such as being very close to losing your home to foreclosure.
Having a disability attorney help you with your case increases the chances of approval and the amount of back pay received. To learn more about when to talk to a lawyer about Social Security claims, contact The Law Offices of James B. Gillespie, Jr., PLLC at 910-763-5485.
