Social Security Disability: Do I Really Need an Attorney?

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a lengthy and confusing process. An attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability and SSI will not only make the process much less stressful for you, but having an attorney will also increase the chances of your claim being approved by the Social Security Administration.

Social Security Lawyers have knowledge of the rules that regulate Social Security Disability and SSI. Many valid claims are denied because the evidence is presented in an unorganized manner without consideration to the methodology that Social Security uses to understand and approve claims. In Judicial Hearings, claims may be denied because the applicant does not present issues in a way that is convincing to the Judge. If you are pursuing disability benefits, even if you have been rejected in the past, it is important to consult with a qualified Social Security Disability Attorney.

Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration denies around 70% of all initial Social Security Disability claims. A Social Security Disability Attorney can evaluate your claim, help with your initial application and help you with your appeal. If your case goes to a Judicial Hearing, your Social Security Disability Attorney will ensure that you are well represented in court and will give you the best chance possible of obtaining a favorable outcome.

The chances of your Social Security Disability claim being approved are much higher if you have an experienced Social Security Disability Attorney working for you.
