The Importance of Working with a Disability Attorney for Your Social Security Case | Beacon Disability

Do I Need to Hire an Attorney for My Social Security Disability Case?

Are you wondering if you need to hire an attorney to help you with your Social Security disability case?

My name is Kaitlin Wildoner, and I’m an attorney who helps disabled clients obtain their disability benefits as quickly as possible so they can focus on getting better.

Today, I’m going to talk about some of the benefits and some considerations you may want to make when deciding whether or not to work with a Social Security attorney on your disability case.

1. The Benefits of Hiring a Social Security Disability Attorney

An experienced Social Security disability lawyer will have an in-depth understanding of the complicated rules, regulations, and procedures that are involved in a Social Security disability case.

They can help to guide you through the process, help you understand and complete all necessary paperwork, meet any relevant deadlines, and provide information that’s required to strengthen your disability case.

2. Why It Matters: Complex Claims and Higher Success Rates

Social Security disability claims can be complex, and it’s not uncommon for claims to be denied.

An attorney can help increase your chances of success by building a strong case, helping to collect supporting medical evidence, and presenting the facts of your case in a persuasive manner.

3. Representation at Hearings

If your case is denied at the initial application and reconsideration stages, you may need to attend a hearing before an administrative law judge.

An experienced disability attorney can represent you at this hearing, cross-examine any witnesses, and present evidence on your behalf to help ensure a positive outcome.

4. Staying Current with a Changing Legal Landscape

The law is constantly changing, and it can be challenging to stay up to date with new legislation, regulations, and court decisions.

An attorney can help protect your rights and ensure that you receive the benefits that you are entitled to.

5. Alleviating the Stress of the Process

Dealing with a disability can be stressful, and the application process can be overwhelming.

An attorney can help alleviate some of the burden by handling some of the paperwork, answering your questions, and providing you with peace of mind.
