Disability law is not what we do, it is all we do.
The Social Security disability process is complicated and time consuming for anyone not familiar with the claims process. There are specific deadlines that must be met throughout the application process and many nuances that are familiar only to disability lawyers. While most cases require a hearing in front of an administrative law judge, hiring a lawyer before you file your claim can prevent unnecessary errors and sometimes result in an earlier approval. However, regardless of where you are in the process, enlisting the help of an experienced disability lawyer is a good idea. Most importantly, do not give up.
At Lowery Law Group we understand how to present your case to provide you with the greatest chance of winning your claim. In addition to helping you understand what medical information is needed, we collect and present the relevant medical documentation and communicate with your physicians on your behalf to collect supportive statements. If your case does go to a hearing, we prepare you for the hearing well in advance to help you feel at ease and know what to expect.
There is no fee to hire a Social Security disability attorney and we are only paid if your claim is approved. Federal law regulates attorney fees in Social Security disability cases, so every disability lawyer has the same fee structure. We do not charge a fee if we do not win your case.
While individuals are frequently represented by nationwide disability firms, there are many benefits to choosing a local disability attorney with a proven history of representing individuals from your area. Nationwide disability firms often handle thousands of cases at once and each time you call you will speak to different case managers and generally not meet or speak with your attorney until you attend a hearing.
