You don't pay us attorney fees unless we are successful in helping you obtain benefits. Let an experienced Social Security lawyer in Detroit help you pursue your claim.
"Do I need a Social Security disability lawyer?" This is question many people who are applying for benefits in Michigan or elsewhere in the country may have. You do have the option to represent yourself, and you may be told you don't need one by Social Security officials. It's important to understand that your chances of success in obtaining benefits are vastly improved with an experienced Michigan disability lawyer at your side.
Some people who apply for benefits might know they have a serious disability. They start the process believing approval of benefits will come easily, given their circumstances. Unfortunately, many legitimate claims are denied. The government uses its own definition of disability that may vary from the average person's definition.
Experienced disability attorneys like the ones at Goodman Acker know the system well and understand how to help clients present and win a claim. Your attorney fees are based on a percentage of any amount recovered with a maximum fee amount that can be charged established by the Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration must approve any attorney fee requests.
Don't hesitate to contact a disability attorney with our firm. Call 1-866-DONT-LOSE, or contact us online. At Goodman Acker, we look forward to discussing your claim and your options. Remember, you don't pay us any fees unless we successfully help you obtain benefits.
