Common questions

Do I pay upfront?
No. The firm operates on contingency: you pay only when you receive benefits.
How long does a disability case typically take?
One recent client received approval in less than one year. Many reviewers report two-year cases. Timelines depend on case complexity and appeals.
Will I meet with an attorney, or just staff?
Paralegals and staff handle initial intake and ongoing paperwork. Attorneys represent you in hearings and court. One client won his case without meeting his attorney in person.
