Talk With a Disability Lawyer for Free
If health problems are keeping you from working, you do not have to pay just to understand your options. Speak with a Social Security disability lawyer who will listen, explain the process in plain English, and help you decide what step makes sense next.

What a Free Case Review Means
A free consultation is a chance to talk through your situation, ask questions, and get a clearer sense of where you stand with SSDI or SSI. It is also a chance for us to understand your health, work history, and whether you have already applied or been denied.
Many people feel nervous before contacting a law firm. They worry they will be rushed, judged, or pressured. That is not the experience we want you to have.
You Speak With a Lawyer
After our team gathers basic background information, our goal is for you to have a thoughtful conversation with a lawyer about your situation, your options, and what the next step may look like.
What We Talk About
Most consultations cover your health and symptoms, medical treatment, work history, and how we may be able to help you with Social Security’s process. If you already applied or received a denial letter, that matters too because Social Security appeal deadlines are often 60 days from receipt of the notice.
By the end of the conversation, you should have a better sense of whether we may be able to help, what information matters most, and what comes next.
What To Have Ready
You do not need perfect paperwork to talk with us. If you have them, helpful items include a medication list, the names of your doctors or clinics, a general work history, and any letters you received from Social Security.
If you have a denial letter, try to keep it nearby. It may contain important deadlines and next-step instructions.
How Fees Work
The consultation itself is free. If we agree to represent you, fees in most administrative Social Security cases are generally paid from past-due benefits, must be approved by Social Security, and are usually limited under the fee-agreement rules to 25 percent of past-due benefits up to the agency’s cap.
Federal court matters can involve different fee rules. If your case ever reaches that stage, those rules will be explained with a separate fee agreement.
What Happens After the Call
If we believe we can help and you want to move forward, the next step is usually a fee agreement and the Social Security forms needed for representation. Once that paperwork is completed, we can begin working on your application or appeal and help guide you through future notices or requests from Social Security.
If we do not think we are the right fit, we will tell you that honestly. Clear answers are part of what the consultation is for.
