If you are suffering from a disabling condition you may be thinking about engaging the services of a Social Security attorney in Tennessee. There are many benefits to hiring a skilled Social Security attorney; it is well worth looking at a few of the most important and when you should involve an attorney.
Why hire a Social Security attorney?
Although there are a number of valid reasons for hiring a skilled attorney, the most important is that the chances of your being approved for benefits are far better than if you were to pursue your claim unaided. Certainly there are people that claim independently and get approved but there is no doubt that the chances of approval are far better when you are represented.
It is estimated that less than 25 percent of those that apply for Social Security disability benefits are approved, a full three quarters of all applications must be either abandoned or appealed. Obviously you will want to appeal the decision, it gets complex and there is little doubt that a seasoned Social Security attorney in Tennessee knows far better than you do how to present a case in the best light.
When should you hire an attorney?
Even if you are just considering filing a claim for benefits you should involve an attorney. Most Social Security attorneys are happy to provide you with an opportunity to discuss the merits of your case at no cost. The attorney, based on a wealth of experience and knowledge, can guide you; he or she can evaluate the strength of your case and in the event the outcome appears positive, help you with your initial application.
Hiring a Social Security attorney in Tennessee after you have applied and had your application rejected is almost a must. The attorney can prepare you to face an administrative law judge during a hearing and he or she can present medical and occupational experts to support your claim.
If you are disabled and unable to work, disability benefits become a must. If you are looking for a Social Security attorney in Tennessee to help you through the convoluted application and appeals process you are invited to contact the Law Offices of Miller & Drozdowski, P.C. Follow us on Google+.
