Q: I have recently applied for SSDI AND I HAVEBEEN DENIED 2 twice help I need a lawyer
A: You need to decide which disability lawyer you want to hire. To start with this process, go to Justia's "Find a Lawyer" tab and search by Social Security disability and your location. Most disability lawyers have free consultations, so call and talk to the lawyer. You can talk about your claim. You can also ask what the lawyer will do to help you with your claim. Find out if he or she will be personally representing you and what role support staff will have. Check to see if the lawyer will be the one to answer any questions you have as you proceed. If you are ready to hire the attorney, ask about whether a contingency fee is available which means that if you do not win your case, you do not owe your lawyer fees, but if you do win, the lawyer will take a percentage of your back benefits. All fees have to be approved through Social Security. Good luck.
