Disability Lawyers In Texas

If you or a loved one has been denied disability benefits in Texas, our experienced Social Security Disability attorneys can help.

Why Should You Hire a Disability Lawyer?

Although many people believe they can handle the application on their own, successfully applying for disability benefits is a complicated process.

A Texas SSD attorney can help in the following ways:

• Explain how to fill out the disability application
• Help gather medical documentation
• Help you avoid common mistakes
• Explain what to expect during the process

With our help, you can increase your chances of receiving benefits.

What Do You Get After You Hire a Social Security Disability Attorney?

After one of our Social Security Disability attorneys in Texas takes your case, you can expect them to do the following:

• Meet with you several times to determine the best course of action.
• Be there to answer questions throughout the process.
• Provide representation throughout the entire process, including hearings before an administrative law judge (ALJ) or an Appeals Council.

If your application is approved, you may receive back pay for benefits that were denied, along with monthly benefits going forward. If you are awarded SSDI benefits, you will generally start receiving benefits after a five-month waiting period. For SSI benefits, there is no waiting period.

Cost Of Social Security Disability Lawyer

Hiring a Social Security Disability lawyer in Texas may cost you, but it’s important to understand that the cost of hiring an attorney is often offset by receiving benefits.

At Chermol & Fishman, we offer free consultations and accept cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you pay nothing until your case is won. In most cases, this fee will be the lesser of 25% of the benefit award or $6000, whichever is less.
