What am I agreeing to when I sign a contract for legal representation when applying for monthly Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits?
Studies show that claims for monthly social security disability payments are three times more likely to be approved by Social Security when applying with the support of an attorney than when filing individually. But what exactly will an attorney do for you and what will you be expected to do? Here we will explain.
The contract for legal representation outlines the specific responsibilities for both you and your attorney. Furthermore, it provides proof to Social Security that they can communicate and work directly with your attorney throughout the entire process, which can take up to two-years. Furthermore, it allows Social Security to work with your attorney directly, making it easier and less time consuming for you.
Your attorney will be expected to represent your best interests, file necessary paperwork, attend hearings, and advise you on your case. As the client, you’ll be responsible for providing necessary information and cooperating with your attorney throughout the process. Specifically
once you appoint a licensed attorney or representative, he or she can act on your behalf in most Social Security (SSA) matters by:
Your representative will also receive a copy of the decision(s) SSA makes on your claim.
Before you sign any contract, be sure to clarify all expectations and ask questions if there’s anything you don’t understand. At Casa de la Justicia our team will go over everything with you, ensuring you’re comfortable and confident moving forward.
No Upfront Payments: Contingency Fees Explained
At Casa de la Justicia, we believe that everyone should have access to the legal help they need, no matter their financial situation. That’s why we work on a contingency basis. This means that you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket. We only get paid if you win your monthly disability payments (Social Security Disability Insurance, SSDI). If your claim is successful the Social Security Administration will pay our fees directly by deducting 25% of ONLY your first check or up to $9,200, whatever is less. After that you will receive the full amount of your monthly payment. There are no other fees, so truly no upfront payment is required. Of course, if your claim is not successful, we do not get paid anything.
