A: If you had an attorney who represented you at your hearing then you can ask who they recommend. If you were not represented or your attorney was not local call to a few attorneys in your area that handle SSD cases. If they don’t handle federal work, they know who does that type of work in your area. Although it is a Federal Court case, an attorney has to be admitted to practice in the Federal District Court in your area to handle cases there.

A: Justia has a "Find a Lawyer" search to help you find lawyers who handle SSDI appeals. You can also contact the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) and use their lawyer referral service for free at 845-682-1881.
