We offer free initial telephone consultations pertaining to Social Security disability and charge no fee at all unless we win.
In all Social Security claims, we abide by the implied Congressional limitation on attorney’s fees which authorizes automatic approval by the Social Security Administration of $7,000 or 25% of retroactive benefits, whichever is least if the claim is approved at or prior to a hearing before a Federal Administrative Law Judge.
If the case progresses further on appeal beyond the initial hearing before a Social Security Judge to additional levels such as the Appeal Council and/or a Federal Court, and is either paid or sent back for a new hearing which results in a favorable decision, then a fee of greater than $6,000 if approved, can be awarded by the Social Security Administration. But in our fee agreement we agree absolutely not to charge more than 25%.7
