If you are suffering from a physical or mental disability, you can claim disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. If you are about to make a claim, it is a good idea to consult with Social Security lawyers. The chances of making a successful claim in Missouri are far better when you are represented by knowledgeable lawyers; you are twice as likely to be successful with your claim when you are represented.
What Do Social Security Lawyers Charge?
Unlike other lawyers, the fee that Social Security lawyers can charge is fixed by law. The legal fee is capped at 25 percent of the back pay you are awarded up to a maximum of $6,000. If you are claiming SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), your retroactive pay can go back a year from the date your claim is approved.
When the lawyers you consult with agree to represent you, they will do so on a contingency fee basis. Your lawyers will handle your case on your behalf; they are paid their fee when they are successful in winning. In the event you are not granted benefits, you do not have to pay the legal fee. This is an ideal arrangement, you can afford to get the best Social Security lawyers, and the lawyers are motivated to win your claim.
What Do Social Security Lawyers Do?
The rules and regulations that govern Social Security are complex; rarely will a layperson be in a position to understand them. Statistics show that claimants for disability benefits in Missouri have a far better chance of winning their claim when they are properly represented.
If your claim is initially denied, it will be referred to an administrative law judge. Your Social Security lawyers can help you defend your condition by preparing you to answer questions that; based on their experience, the ALJ can be expected to ask.
