The Importance of Hiring a Disability Lawyer
Although you are not required to hire a lawyer when filing a Social Security or VA disability claim, there are countless reasons to do so. When you work with an attorney, you put yourself in the best possible position to successfully recover benefits in a timely manner. An attorney will not only understand the ins and outs of the disability claims process but will also be able to effectively protect your rights and advocate for you if your claim is denied.
Approximately 60% of first-time disability claims are denied. It is important that you hire an attorney who can help you file an appeal if your initial application is rejected. Numerous studies have shown that appealing a denied disability claim is a far more effective and time-saving method than starting the process over by filing a new claim.
At Affleck & Gordon, our Athens disability attorneys have more than 45 years of experience helping clients throughout Clarke County, GA and the surrounding areas with all types of disability-related issues. Our team can help prepare your initial claim by gathering all necessary paperwork, documents, and supporting evidence. In most cases, the stronger your initial application is, the less likely it is that your claim will be denied.
However, if your claim is denied, you can count on Affleck & Gordon to stand up for you. We have a long history of success in appealing denied SSDI, SSI, and VA disability claims. We know how to navigate the process and are prepared to help you every step of the way.
