Why You Should Hire A Social Security Attorney

One of the numerous benefits offered by Social Security is disability benefits to those who, for physical or mental reasons, are not capable of working and earning a living for themselves and their family. Benefits are available to those that meet the criteria that have been laid out by the Administration.

Although an applicant for disability benefits does not have to have a Social Security attorney in Tennessee, with the process being as difficult and complicated as it is, many people hire a knowledgeable attorney to help them with their application.

There are many valid reasons for hiring an attorney:

Chances are your application will be denied:

Nearly 60 percent of all applications for Social Security disability benefits are denied, and only about 25 percent were awarded benefits when they first applied. The remainder of applicants were eventually awarded benefits after they appealed the original decision to deny the application.

Denied on a technicality:

Over 30 percent of the applications were rejected for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with their disability. These denials were made simply because of a technicality of one sort or another.

A Social Security attorney knows the system:

Social Security attorneys and their staff deal with applications and appeals all day long. The attorneys have built relationships with the Administrative Law Judges in the region who conduct the hearings. A skilled Social Security attorney in Tennessee knows what must be done to ensure that your case is properly developed and presented during the hearing.

You can afford an attorney:

Many people shy away from legal assistance thinking they can’t afford it. A Social Security attorney charges a fee that has been set by the federal government; it amounts to 25 percent of any back pay you are granted up to $6,000. The legal fee is only due should you win benefits and the fee is paid directly to your attorney out of your first payment.

As you can see, there is no reason why you should not take full advance of the legal knowledge and acumen of a Social Security attorney in Tennessee.
