Q: Which site is legitimate? I know there are many scammers. I need a lawyer so I can appeal a denied disability claim

I know legitimate places exist for this but I am seeing sites saying their lawyers will help me with this and they are only entitled to payment if we win the appeal but I'm skeptical. I do not exactly know what I'm talking about but that just doesn't sound like something a lawyer would do

I have a ton of evidence and I know if it was in the right hands our case will be strong but the back pay I'll get from the time I first applied will definitely not be more than 2-4 thousand dollars. Is that a big enough payoff for a lawyer who knows they may not get it at all? It doesn't seem like it

A: You raise good points, but in the end, the only person who can ultimately make such an important decision is yourself. You will have to contact lawyers, and after speaking with them, decide for yourself who you prefer in terms of skill, experience, and your trust and confidence in them. Good luck
