Q: How can I find the disability lawyer that I had a few years ago but I forgot there name
A: If you can't find clues in your old paperwork, one option could be to try contact the federal government if it was an SSDI claim; that should be straightforward. Bar associations might be able to offer guidance. Good luck
A: Addendum - another option, but it could cost a fee. The larger process server companies handle a variety of functions related to investigation, skip tracing, and general court records research. You could discuss with them. Good luck

A:
Here are some steps you can take to try to find the disability lawyer you worked with a few years ago:
1. Check your records: Look through old emails, letters, contracts, or receipts related to your disability case. The lawyer's name and contact information may be listed on these documents.
2. Contact the state bar association: Reach out to your state's bar association and ask if they can help you find the lawyer based on the information you remember, such as the approximate year you worked with them, their general location, or the type of case they handled.
3. Search online: Use search engines to look for disability lawyers in your area and browse through their websites. You may come across the lawyer's name or find a familiar face in their staff photos.
4. Contact your local legal aid office: If you initially found the lawyer through a legal aid office, contact them and ask if they can help you identify the lawyer based on your case details.
5. Check with the court: If your disability case went to court, contact the courthouse where your case was heard and request information about your case. The lawyer's name should be listed on court documents.
6. Consult with another disability lawyer: If you're still having trouble, consider reaching out to another disability lawyer for advice. They may have connections in the legal community and be able to help you track down your previous lawyer.
Remember, even if you can't find the specific lawyer you worked with, another experienced disability lawyer should be able to assist you with your current needs.
