Today we’re going to talk about what exactly is Social Security disability attorney does. 

This is not an exhaustive list, but it provides a little bit of insight into what kind of help disability attorney might be able to provide for you.

First, we review your case file, including your medical records and your work history, to help prepare your case.

Number two, we work with you to update your medical records for Social Security to ensure that the agency has the most up-to-date records when reviewing your file and making a decision. 

Number three, we can file appeals on your behalf with the agency.

Number four, we can demystify some of the forms in the paperwork that you might receive from Social Security. We can explain what the letters mean, we can explain how to complete certain forms and we can review your forms for accuracy, completeness. We can also sometimes help trigger some things in your mind that you may not have thought about in completing the forms.

Number five, we also help represent your interests before an Administrative Law Judge at the hearing stage.Ssometimes we do most of the questioning of you in the hearing, sometimes the judge does. Even if the judge does, we are always listening and trying to do what we can to help put your best case forward.
