Do I Need a Social Security Disability Lawyer to Handle My Application?

Yes and no.

No, you do not need a social security disability lawyer to file your Social Security application. There is no law requiring you to have a lawyer; you can handle the application process and claim yourself.

But yes, you really need a Social Security lawyer to help file your claim to get it right and protect your rights. Many people realize this after trying to file themselves and being rejected at the initial stage, only to get a Social Security Disability lawyer like ours to reverse the denial. Statistics support this.

Statistics Shed Light on Why You Should Get a SSDI Lawyer First

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), for the last year of available statistics (released November 2021), only about 25% of all initial claims were accepted. That means 75% of all initial applications were denied, with approximately 771,000 denials being labeled as “technical denials.” Applications that went above a hearing or higher level had a higher approval rating of nearly 55%. Most of these applications were handled by lawyers who were called to help an applicant who has been denied coverage.

While the statistics prove that some mistakes can be fixed with the help of a lawyer, unfortunately, the process can still take several months or even over a year to obtain a reversal and start receiving benefits. During this time, an injured, sick, or otherwise disabled individual and their family may have difficulty making ends meet due to the delay. This is why it is imperative to always hire a lawyer first to avoid being without income for such an extended period of time.

I'm putting the world on notice that silver and silver are my attorneys, so treat me accordingly. They handled my disability and accident case and got me fantastic, quick results in both. Could not be happier with the outcome in both cases. Thank you very much for your help.

This team of Attorneys are very personable, professional and knowledgeable. They worked diligently for the best outcome throughout my entire process. Their keen sense of infractions from the opposition was untolerated. Cindy is tough and holds her ground firmly. Joe kept me updated on my case, and provided research based information when providing legal guidance and supporting my best interest in every aspect. As a client, my options were welcomed, but with the dedicated attention, you feel like family not a case profile. I had direct access to my attorneys. If I had a question or concern to be addressed, the response was informative and timely. I was treated with respect and always felt the sincerity with each interaction. I would have Silver and Silver as my legal team anytime.

Joe Schwartz and his team treated my sister and I with professional care. They were open and honest, and got my sister what she deserved. We always hear the worst words about lawyers, but I felt seen and heard at Silver & Silver. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought they actually cared about us and the task at hand.

I chose Silver & Silver because they are close to where I live. This was important because I was unable to drive as a result of a broken arm due to an unsafe threshold in a merchant's doorway. I was very pleased with the firm's handling of my case.
