Law Offices of Shea A. Fugate, P.A.

Most people try to go about their SSD application process by themselves. No law mandates you to engage the services of a disability Attorney for your disability claims. However, records show that people who consult a disability attorney at the initial stage of their disability application stand better chances of having their process approved. You must contact a disability attorney from the initial stage of your application process. It is good that a disability attorney who understands the disability process begins your case with you to avoid any errors. Regardless, you may have begun your disability claim already without the assistance of a disability attorney. You can still contact one in between the process. If your disability claim has been denied, contact a disability attorney to help you file an appeal of reconsideration. Feel free to contact our Maitland disability attorney for a free consultation at any time.

In case you are wondering how exactly a Maitland disability attorney can be of help to your disability application, here is what to expect.
DRAFT INITIAL APPLICATION
Unlike you, this is not a disability attorney’s first time drafting a disability claim. A disability attorney has drafted several disability claims previously and seen the outcome and understood the system. Disability attorneys know what should be in a disability claim and what should not be there. Having one review your case and draft your initial process gives your claim a greater likelihood of being granted.

GATHER NECESSARY EVIDENCE
Getting the necessary evidence required to accompany your disability claim is one of the most important steps to winning your disability claim. You may not know what medical evidence is needed to solidify your claim but an experienced disability does. Our Maitland disability attorney will investigate your case and obtain the needed medical evidence from your doctor

FILE AN APPEAL AND REPRESENT YOU IN THE HEARING
A qualified Maitland disability attorney will assist you to file an appeal if your initial disability claim is denied. Disability processes require professional assistance. Usually, an appeal comes before an Administrative Law Judge(ALJ) and a hearing follows. A disability attorney has been through such appeal processes so will comfortably draft a good appeal process on your behalf and represent you all through the course of the hearing. Prepare you for the questions the ALJ will throw at you and back up your claims with solid evidence and case laws.
