Lawyer Overview

For almost thirty years I have served as an advocate for disabled individuals with all types of physical and mental conditions in their claims for disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income before federal administrative law judges. In the typical Social Security case, the attorney fee is paid from the successful claimant's past due benefits. Most cases are handled on a twenty-five percent (25%) fee contingent on success. However, some types of Social Security cases are unique. Circumstances in certain types of cases may result in minimal or very low past due benefits and thus dictate a different fee arrangement. Certified as an Elder Law attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation. Sustaining member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives.

Fee agreements are in writing. All attorney fees must be approved by the Social Security Administration. In most cases in addition to attorney fees, there are likely to be expenses incurred by the attorney in preparing your Social Security disability claim. The primary expense incurred is the cost of acquiring your medical records, medical statements, and a copy of your file within the possession of the Social Security Administration. The reimbursement of expenses incurred in handling your claim is matter separate and distinct from attorney fees. Although reimbursement of expenses are not subject to approval by the Social Security Administration, expenses will be addressed in your written fee agreement.
