Finding the Right Social Security Disability Lawyer in Phoenix
In 2007, the Social Security Administration (SSA) denied 65.4 percent of initial Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims, often due to disputes over the applicants' medical records or their ability to work. Many people who prepare their own initial claims do not properly complete the paperwork, or they fail to observe deadlines or other filing rules. Using a Social Security disability attorney from Taylor and Associates to prepare and file your initial claim can yield better results.
But our assistance becomes critical when you receive a denial letter. If the SSA denies your claim, you have only 60 days to file for reconsideration after a claim denial and another 60 days to file an appeal if your reconsideration application is denied. This is the time to find a skilled Social Security disability lawyer. Our attorneys represent guide our clients through the appeals process, filing the appropriate paperwork, collecting evidence, and appearing at hearings.
Finding the right Social Security disability attorney in Phoenix
Look for an attorney with the following skills and experience:
- Medical background: Your attorney must be able to access and understand medical records, gather other evidence, and communicate with treating doctors.
- Referral resources: If you need additional treatment or evidence for your claim, a skilled disability attorney should have the knowledge to identify the need for other doctors or specialists, and he or she should be able to refer you to reputable medical resources.
- Familiarity with the SSA: A detailed understanding of SSA procedures is critical in obtaining documents from your file and requesting the reopening of your prior application for benefits, seeking time waivers, and much more.
- Litigation experience: Your lawyer needs extensive litigation skills to prepare you for testimony and present an effective case at the hearing, and he or she must have the skills needed to represent you in federal court when needed.
- Affordability: You can afford skilled legal support when your attorney operates on a contingency fee basis. Under this fee structure, you pay the attorney only when you win your claim.
