If you are disabled, either physically or mentally, you may feel inclined to hire an Aurora disability lawyer. Before you do this you should know a little about how the lawyer charges and what costs to expect. The costs are actually very easy to forecast, the fees that disability lawyers can charge are strictly regulated by law, their charge cannot exceed $6,000 or 25 percent of the back pay you are awarded, whatever is the lesser of the two. You will not have to pay any money up front; you will not have to pay anything unless the lawyer has successfully won the case on your behalf.
Law is complex; it is not an area which is easily understood by a layperson. There are numerous benefits to engaging the services of an Aurora disability lawyer, these benefits are worth discussing. It is also worth discussing when you should hire the lawyer, at what stage of the process should he or she be brought in?
Why is a disability lawyer important?
The answer is rather simple; you stand a far better chance of being approved for disability benefits with a lawyer than without. Of course, some people who do deal with their own application get approved but these are the rarities, not the norm. There are plenty of statistics to prove the chances of success with legal assistance are far higher than going it alone.
When should I hire a disability lawyer?
Once again, the answer is quite simple; the earlier the better. An Aurora disability lawyer will provide you with an opportunity to consult with him for free. Take this opportunity to discuss your case in detail, the lawyer can make an assessment on the strength of your case and help you right from the beginning which is the preparation of the application.
Using a lawyer right from the outset is a good idea but even at that, there is no guarantee that the application will be approved. Upon appeal a disability lawyer can prepare you for your interview with an administrative law judge who will hear your case. At this time your lawyer may feel that your chances of immediate approval are better if you are accompanied by expert witnesses that can substantiate your testimony and attest to your condition.
In the event you financial situation is dire or the prognosis is not good, the lawyer may be able to move the case quicker through the system but there are no guarantees, after all, you are dealing with a government agency.
There is little doubt that your chances of success when applying for disability benefits are better when you are represented by an Aurora disability lawyer. You are invited to contact the law offices of Rabin, Kodner & Brown.
