Receiving a denial notice for your Social Security disability claim is as painful as your sustained injuries. However, you don't have to lose hope. Such letter is just the beginning for the process of your claim.
There are reasons why your claim is denied, it can be the insufficient medical records, inconsistencies in the questionnaire forms, or failure to follow up your claim.
You can hire an experienced Social Security disability lawyer to help you clarify the facts in your application/Substantial Gainful Activity/ Work History Report. Your lawyer can file a reconsideration and appeal for your claim and assert the reasons why you deserve the disability benefits. You can submit additional medical records to substantiate your case.
But where can you find a reliable and trustworthy lawyer who can handle your case?
Getting an expert lawyer is easy, but finding a trustworthy lawyer is difficult. When looking for a lawyer you will have to verify the profile, the good moral character, the client feedback, personality and methodology in handling cases.
The success rate must correspond with the client feedback. You can run background check and interview former clients to verify if what the lawyer professes is true.
Here are some suggestions where you can find a good lawyer:
1. Personal referrals- Interview people in your community that have similar disability cases with you. Ask who their lawyers are and listen to their feedback. Ask for contact numbers and the specific law firm addresses. Note the positive and negative comments and make sure to write them down. Weigh the pros and cons and see if you can find a good match to your needs.
However, be careful on relying on client feedback alone. Try to have a personal interview with the lawyer. You can have a family member help you or come up with a family decision in choosing the right lawyer for your case.
2. Internet lawyer's directory- Technology has enabled to come up with a database for legal practitioners in each state. You can browse through the internet and search per category on your preferred lawyer profile and expertise.
3. Non profit organizations- Get in touch with organizations in your community or state. Search for a specific interest group that caters to people with disabilities.
4. State law librarian- You can ask your state law librarian on expert legal practitioners who have the highest success rate in litigating social security cases.
An efficient and trustworthy Social Security disability lawyer can increase your chances of winning an appeal claim.
You wouldn't have to worry about your disability claims because these lawyers will provide documents you need. They help their clients get the compensation they deserve. In finding a trusted lawyer, it's just a matter of patience and finding the best one.

A lawyer will help your application process get approved without a hitch. This is because they’ve already gone over this process time and time again so they know what to do and how to avoid red tape.

You must have a working, professional relationship with him so that you can totally rely on him. In return, he will do his best to win the case for you.
