Important Questions to Ask
The first step in deciding on a lawyer for your disability claim is to do your research. You should first review the disability application process from Social Security Administration to see if you qualify. If you do, you can begin searching for a disability lawyer. Before settling on a lawyer, ensure they have the proper experience and fees you can afford to pay.
You also may want to check out disability lawyers in your area and perhaps list pros and cons for each one. This can help you narrow down your choices. Write down questions to ask the office so you can have as much information as possible before making your choice. Some example questions might be:
- What type of experience and success do you have with similar disability claims?
- How familiar are you with New York state law?
- How much time will you be able to devote to my case?
- What types of workers’ compensation can you help me attain?
- How long will the process take?
Asking these questions is ideal for ruling out lawyers who may not fit your needs and focusing on the ones who do. You also may want to ask about any other selling points the firm offers. For example, Nappa, Monterosso & Poznansky, LLP, has a Spanish-speaking attorney who can fluently converse with Hispanic clients.
Don’t Wait to Hire a Lawyer
Applying for disability compensation can be a long and arduous process, and many people do not get approved on their first application. Most people will seek a lawyer after they have already been denied, but this means you will have another long period of waiting before you get any help or answers.
For this reason, you should seek a lawyer as soon as possible when filing a disability claim. The more guidance you have when filling out your application and filing your claim, the more likely you are to get approved. The disability attorneys at Nappa, Monterosso & Poznansky, LLP, have more than 30 years of combined experience and will work with you every step of the way to help your claim get approved.
