How do I pay the firm for representing my Social Security claim?

Good news…you do not have to come up with any money to hire our firm.

Attorneys' fees in Social Security disability cases are regulated by SSA and federal law. Thus, virtually every disability attorney works on the same fee basis.

In Social Security disability cases, our firm usually works on the same fee basis as one of your local attorneys. The fee agreement is on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay the firm a fee only if your claim is approved and you are awarded retroactive benefits.

Pursuant to federal law, the attorney's fee is 25% of you and your family's past due disability benefits or $6,000, whichever is less. For example, if you and your family have $10,000 in retroactive benefits, the attorney's fee is 25% or $2,500.  If you and your family’s retroactive benefits are $100,000, the firm’s fee is only $6,000, not $25,000.
