Frequently asked questions
How much does a disability lawyer cost?
Usually nothing upfront. They take 25% of back pay (max $7,200) if you win. If you lose, you owe nothing.
What affects the total cost?
Whether you hire a lawyer, the amount of back pay, and how long your case takes. More appeals mean higher costs.
How can I minimize costs?
File yourself if possible. Use free legal aid clinics. If hiring, confirm the fee agreement is within SSA caps.
