How to choose a Social Security disability lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many disability benefits law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask whether the firm represents clients at the hearing itself or passes the hearing to another representative.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.
