The Foley & Wilson statement of purpose guides our practice of law:
Providing greater service for our clients – We handle appeals at both the administrative level before the Social Security Administration’s Appeals Council, and in the United States District Courts and the United States Court of Appeals. We will accept cases on appeal that have been lost by other lawyers at disability hearings
Providing personal service to our clients – We personally meet with all potential clients for initial consultations, and we personally talk to our clients when they call to discuss their individual cases
Delivering quality service to our clients – We meet with all our clients for pre-hearing conferences, usually a week or two before the date of their disability hearing. We personally review all our clients’ medical records before presenting their cases to Social Security judges.
Taking more than just the “easy” cases – We don’t take the cases that are easiest to win. We meet with all potential clients who ask us for initial consultations, and we learn the particular facts of their individual cases. We can’t take every case, but if we think we can help, we will—regardless of age.
Caring about our clients – Most of our clients have been out of work for a long time. Many have bills that cannot be paid. They cannot work because of their medical problems, and they need disability benefits. They rely on us to do our best work to help them get their disability claims approved. We take that responsibility seriously.
We can’t win every case. But we can care about every case.
