10 Things A Disability Lawyer Can Do For You

Did you talk to Social Security and hear “You don’t need a lawyer”? These are the people who will deny your claim. No lawyer means less hassle for their denials. Different law firms may give different experiences. Here, at Hall & Rouse, our attorneys and legal assistants are ready to fight for you and advocate for your rights, to help you win your benefits.

Our disability attorneys are able to log in to Social Security’s electronic case system and look through your file to see what is happening in real-time. The sooner, the better, for developing a legal strategy for the win.

Our legal assistants spend the vast majority of their days on the telephone, calling Social Security, asking what is going on, what they need to make a decision, how we can help to possibly speed things along, and when you win, following up on the money until it is released.

We make sure your application is not gathering dust on someone’s desk in the county office.

We call Social Security Disability (Disability Determination Services) to make sure your case has been assigned and that someone is actually working on it. When that is not happening, we make sure it is escalated to the right people's attention, so you do not suffer more undue delays.

Our team reaches out to you to stay up-to-date about your medical care, or to suggest charity care networks if you have not received the treatment needed to prove your case.

Our legal team coordinates with your doctors or nurse practitioners to get medical records and medical opinions.

We file the appeals for you.

If you need to talk to an administrative law judge, we prepare you for what to expect.

We show up to court with you.

We keep you informed and do the work for you, so that you can focus on your health.

There is no upfront fee. There is no out of pocket fee. There is only payment if the attorney helps you win, and that win results in back pay. At that point, the fee is regulated by the government on a standard fee schedule that never exceeds 25% of back pay.

Whether you need a lawyer is an individual choice. If your feeling is that, yes, you want an experienced lawyer to handle things, we are here to help: www.hall-rouse.com, or give us a call at 1-866-425-5347.
