What Happens in a Free Case Evaluation for Disability?

People looking at a model home

When you think of Georgia SSDI lawyers, what comes to mind? For many, the answer will be having an advocate in their corner, but at a hefty cost they simply can’t afford.

You may be surprised to learn that for Social Security disability claims, attorneys typically don’t collect an out-of-pocket fee when they take on your case. In most cases, your Georgia SSDI lawyer will collect payment from the past-due benefits you are awarded.

Without the barrier of an up-front fee, a Georgia SSDI lawyer can be critical in giving you the best possible chance of winning your benefits at any stage of your claim.

However, before you make a decision about legal representation, it’s important to first discuss your case with potential lawyers to see if they’re a good fit to take you on as a client.

This interview is called a case evaluation. This is an opportunity to learn more about how an attorney can help you win your benefits, as well as how they’ll treat you as a client.

Affleck & Gordon offers a free case evaluation to all of our potential Social Security disability clients. Here’s the process to sign up for a free case evaluation and what to expect.

How to Schedule a  Case Evaluation with Georgia SSDI Lawyers

Before choosing your lawyer, you must first schedule that initial meeting known as the case evaluation. You may visit individual law firms’ websites contact pages, or else a Google search of Georgia SSDI lawyers near you may offer a list of firms to contact.

Alternatively, you can visit the Georgia Bar website to find lawyers specializing in Social Security disability.

Each attorney’s website should clarify the types of cases they represent, and you should focus on contacting those who specialize in Social Security disability law.

The Ins and Outs of Your Claim

It’s important to discuss with your attorney how the unique factors of your disability impact your claim. This will depend on the types and severity of your medical conditions, medical evidence proving physical or mental ailments that limit you from working, as well as whether you have already been denied.

Many seek out Georgia SSDI lawyers only once they’ve been denied and must appeal the decision. Though we recommend you consult an attorney as early as possible, even before an initial denial, the right attorney can advocate for and assist you at any stage of your claim.

Having the right attorney in your corner can be a critical resource, giving you the best chance of winning your SSDI benefits. A case evaluation is an important first step toward a positive outcome.

If your SSDI claim has been denied, Affleck and Gordon can help. We’ve been helping disabled people in Georgia just like you for over 45 years. Once you have applied online for benefits, sign up for a free case evaluation here, and call us (404) 990-3945.
