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

The Illinois Hammer Injury Law Firm Dworkin & Maciariello has the most, 2,265 reviews, and ranks #37. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank social security disability lawyers?
Each Social Security disability lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do social security disability lawyers outside Matteson count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 mi of the Matteson city center, our service radius for social security disability lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.
Can social security disability lawyers pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do social Security disability lawyers in Matteson, IL charge?
For Social Security disability claims, the Social Security Administration must approve the fee. Under a fee agreement it is capped at 25% of past-due benefits or $9,200, whichever is less (decisions on or after November 30, 2024). Ask for the fee arrangement in writing before you agree.
Can a lawyer help after my disability application is denied?
Yes. Most denied Social Security claims can be appealed: reconsideration, then a hearing before an administrative law judge. Appeal deadlines are short (generally 60 days from the notice), so act quickly. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of social Security disability lawyers in Matteson, IL ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Matteson?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
