Your choice of your attorney representative is one of the most important decisions you can make in pursuing a disability claim. Having an experienced disability attorney with a proven track record can make all the difference. Here are some things to consider: Will the attorney prepare you in person well in advance of any hearing? Will the attorney and/or his staff agree to meet with you as necessary throughout the administrative process? Does the attorney or the attorney’s staff return your calls? Will they meet with you in person as soon as your claim is filed and explain to you in comfortable terms the disability process, how to develop your claim, what to expect, etc. How many hearings has this attorney attended in the past year? Is the attorney a member of the National Association of Social Security Claimant Representatives? If so, is the attorney or at least one member of the attorney’s firm a Sustaining Member of this organization? Membership and a Sustaining Membership in this organization is an indication of how important this specialty area is to their practice. How much of their practice is devoted exclusively to disability claims? Are they licensed to practice law?

Having an attorney can improve your chances at a successful claim. An experienced disability attorney can provide valuable guidance throughout the administrative process. Once you apply, the SSA will ask you to complete several different detailed forms. Having an attorney assist you in filling out these forms can really make a difference down the line. The SSA will also want to send you out for a physical exam and/or a psychological evaluation by one of their “consultative examiners." Your attorney would help you prepare for those evaluations.
