Do I Need a Social Security Attorney?

DUI Attorneys in Lansing, MI

If you or a loved one need help filing a Social Security claim, we recommend reaching out to an experienced Social Security attorney. They will make sure that all the paperwork is filled out correctly so you won’t be denied based on a technicality.

While you are welcome to file for Social Security benefits on your own, it can be helpful to hire a professional who has already gone through the process. In this blog post, we will go over the various reasons why more and more people are hiring Social Security lawyers to avoid being denied government benefits.

Attorneys can handle the following Social Security cases:

  • Social Security Disability Claim
  • Supplemental Security Income Claim (SSI)
  • Supplemental Security Income Overpayment
  • Social Security Spouse Benefits
  • Social Security Survivor Benefits
  • Social Security Death Benefits
  • Medical Insurance
  • Medicare Insurance

Avoid Missed Deadlines

There is a lot of paperwork involved with filing for Social Security benefits. It’s not enough to be eligible for benefits. You also must make sure every form is filled out accurately. Hiring legal representation early in the process will help you avoid missed Social Security deadlines so you can get approved for benefits the first time around.

Shorten Trial Period and Avoid Appeal Process

The slightest mistake in filing your claim could lead to being denied Social Security benefits. The best way to prevent this from happening is to contact a Lansing attorney who has already been through the process. Attorneys are aware that filing a request for a disability hearing can be a hardship for clients. This is why they do everything in their power to build a strong case the first time around.

There is a very high denial rate for appeals because people don’t put as much effort into proving their claims are valid. When people expect their claim to be denied, they don’t work as hard. Social Security attorneys, on the other hand, put a lot of effort into making sure your claim isn’t denied. The result is a shorter trial period.

Since Social Security attorneys have experience in filing claims, the process takes less time than if you tried to file by yourself. A professional will also have a deep understanding of Social Security law and be able to pay close attention to detail.

Hire an Experienced Social Security Attorney

A Social Security lawyer will have the experience to organize the facts of your case so you won’t have to go to appeal. An attorney who specializes in Social Security will also keep up on recent changes to law that could affect your claim. For Social Security disability claims, you’ll need an attorney who knows how to use medical documents to prove the extent of your disability, your medical background, and how your disability affects daily life.
