High Standards at DisabilityFirm. P.C. Benefit Your Social Security Disability Case

At DisabilityFirm P.C., we pride ourselves on providing professional, client-focused service. We believe in upholding high standards to guide you through your Social Security Disability (SSDI) claim. Let us explain why consulting with one of our attorneys can make all the difference.

Why Consult with an Attorney?

Whether you’re considering applying for SSDI or are already in the process and feeling uncertain, a free initial consultation with a DisabilityFirm attorney is invaluable. We don’t charge for the initial conversation, and our fees are regulated by U.S. law—there’s no cost if you aren’t approved. Before you hire any representative, we recommend having your free consultation with a DisabilityFirm lawyer.

Why Avoid Non-Attorney Representatives?

If you consult with another firm or company, make sure you're speaking with a lawyer, not a non-attorney staff member. Many firms rely on non-attorneys for initial consultations, which can be risky. Social Security claims often involve more than just eligibility—they can uncover other legal issues that may require attention. Attorneys are trained to identify these potential legal challenges, something called “issue spotting.” We regularly help clients discover rights they didn’t even know they had.

Understanding Your Burden of Proof

One of the most important aspects of your SSDI claim is understanding the burden of proof you’ll face. The evidence you need to provide varies based on individual factors such as your age, education, work history, medical conditions, and treatments. We ensure that every client fully understands what they need to prove to get SSDI.

Think of the burden of proof like this: Imagine you’re taken into a windowless basement with no lights on, blindfolded, and left alone. Without being able to see, you might stumble and trip while trying to find your way out. Now, imagine the lights are on, and you can see the obstacles in your path. Knowing what you need to prove in your SSDI case is like having the lights on—you’ll be able to navigate the process with more confidence and less risk.

Honesty and Transparency in Our Consultations

We’re upfront with every client. Each month, we tell some people that they are unlikely to meet their burden of proof and recommend they focus on treatment or finding easier work. On the other hand, we sometimes meet clients who probably would qualify for benefits but might be better off working part-time.

Next time, we will share what you can expect from our staff as your claim progresses.
