Do You Really Need a Disability Attorney?
by K. Weist
Your legal representative
For whatever reason you are employing them, should
be chosen carefully and not just because they seem to
be the most convenient as studies suggest. This advice
could not be truer when you consider cases that involve
disability and how important the work of a good disability
lawyer is!
Although any lawyer could help you
They would not have the same presence in the courtroom
as someone who is highly trained in that particular
field; large companies are less likely to try and fool
someone with this experience. The benefit of having
a dedicated disability lawyer is that they know exactly
what they are doing and what to look for; this is particularly
true if you are in an appeals process.

Most importantly, if you have already been denied
benefits
You really do need some form of legal representation
to assist you in the appeals processes. Most sensible
people these days search for law firms on the internet
where they can view all sorts of details about the company
including what areas they specialize in; normally, clients
they have represented and the results they achieved
on their behalf are also available for inspection.
They may well have previous cases similar to yours
in their records for viewing; another option is to ask
someone you know if they have any recommendations. Your
selection of a disability lawyer to represent you should
be as important as choosing you doctor; you will need
to be one hundred percent comfortable and trust them
completely.
Your search should eliminate lawyers
With less than five years experience in disability
case law; they will also worked within the state where
you live for three of those so they are aware of any
state laws that someone outside the state may be unaware
of. Your disability lawyer needs to have experience
with disability insurance and long term disability cases
in addition to in depth knowledge of social security
law; this means for them to have a chance of winning,
they will need to have around three quarters of their
work based in this field.
It is also important your attorney can communicate
with you freely and keep you informed of progress on
a regular basis. Remember, you will need to select about
2 or 3 attorneys to interview, so that you have can
assess which one not only has the experience but that
you will feel comfortable working with
If you do not feel that sure
About going on your own, take a friend who can take
notes but will be able to give an unbiased opinion.
Of course do not forget, usually initial consultations
are not charged but an attorneys time is valuable so
go to the meeting with your questions already prepared.
It should go without saying that your disability lawyer
is someone who has integrity and respect for you and
your situation so there should be honesty to your relationship
and the chances you have of winning your case; there
is no substitute for honesty in these circumstances
but you must reciprocate. Whilst it may seem like a
drawn out process, it is necessary if you want to find
the right attorney so good luck.
