Finding the Best Social Security Lawyers in Irvine –

Hiring a Lawyer for an Irvine Social Security Case

It is not a legal requirement to have a lawyer represent you in a Social Security Disability case. Studies show, however, that Social Security applicants who have a lawyer are much more likely to be approved for Social Security benefits. Studies also prove that having an attorney in your SSDI case at the hearing level especially increases your odds of collecting the maximum benefits.

If you are disabled and you are contemplating hiring a lawyer for your Irvine Social Security Disability case, here are some important considerations to help you select the best  attorney.

What to Look for in an Irvine Social Security Lawyer

A Lawyer Should Offer a Free Consultation & Answer Your Questions For Your Irvine Social Security Case

A Social Security Disability lawyer should never charge a client for an initial consultation. A Social Security Disability lawyer should also devote the time to carefully understand your situation – and take as much time as necessary to answer all of your legal questions completely.

Our experienced and caring lawyers offer a lengthy and detailed free consultation in any Social Security case. At Cantrell Green, we care deeply about every disability client. Our attorneys  listen to each client’s concerns and patiently answer any questions. We are by your side every step of the way during your SSDI case.

A Lawyer Should Only Collect Attorney Fees if You Win
Your Irvine Social Security Case

The regulations governing Social Security Disability law determines what fees lawyers can charge in an SSDI case. A lawyer can only collect a fee equal to 25% of the “back pay” (i.e., the past due amount) – up to a maximum of $6,000. In cases where no back-pay is awarded to the applicant, the attorney does not get a fee.

Make certain that your SSDI lawyer only charges you the lawyer’s fees that are allowed by Social Security law. An attorney who tries to collect more than this is unscrupulous and should not be trusted.

A Lawyer Should Handle Only Disability Cases
For Your Irvine Social Security Case

Many lawyers will take any client that walks in their doors. Rather than being “specialized” they try to practice all areas of law. At Cantrell Green, we feel that a good Social Security law firm will only handle disability cases – and not criminal cases, wills & trusts or other types of cases.

The laws that govern Social Security cases are numerous and extremely complex – and they also change regularly. Only lawyers who practice disability law all day every day can keep up with all  the latest Social Security regulations – and make sure that you get the maximum benefits for which you qualify in your Irvine Social Security Case.
