We deal with the adjuster or attorney and provide you with advice and guidance to get you through the entire process from the date we take your case to the resolution by settlement or hearing. We charge legal fees on a contingency basis. This means we are paid only when you are paid. Legal fees and costs are explained in writing to you. We'll work very closely with you. That means communicating and returning all phone calls (something not everyone does). You own your claim and deserve someone who'll stand by you and with you. At every important point you are advised, often in writing, and we are always available by appointment. When the insurance questions your treatment or compensation, when it disputes anything we shall take you side. Every client receives a wealth of handouts that explain workers compensation. We only ask of you when we take your case that you listen, tell the truth and cooperate with us so we can help obtain all your benefits. All appointments we set up are free! By the way it can take over an hour but it's important we take the time to do it right. You deserve to know all about your case.

There is nothing fun about filing a Social Security Disability claim. The vast majority of people are denied at the first stage.
You may think you are severely disabled and can no longer work but no matter how old or young you are, no matter how restricted you are, no matter how much pain you must deal with, few claims are granted at the first stage. If you are one of the fortunate few then you likely won't need an attorney. But if you are denied you must appeal for a hearing. This process takes several months (at present over a year). This is where an attorney can do the most good. He should review the file, plan for the hearing, obtain further needed medical reports from your doctors or suggest doctors to see. He should also review the legal and vocational considerations. He should get you ready for the hearing. All this we do for our clients. It includes making you aware of the local system and how it operates at the hearing office. All of your personal details such as work history, health concerns and legal determinations will also be reviewed. We take charge of your claim so that you only need listen, tell the truth and cooperate in helping us help you obtain your benefits. Back benefits due claimants can be many thousands of dollars on top of ongoing monthly checks.
When we take a case it is likely on a contingency basis. You obtain an experienced attorney who is only paid if you are awarded benefits. Even then his fee agreement is sent to the Social Security Administration for review and approval. Social Security pays you and also sends a check to your attorney. You'll never have to pay any legal fees until we succeed and even then it is all handled by the Social Security Administration. So we make this very difficult process with all its delays as easy as possible for you. Call at (719) 596-8900 for a free appointment and free consultation when set by us.
