I HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING DISABLED PERSONS ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CLAIMS FOR 35 YEARS AS A LAWYER. MY FIRST SIX YEARS OF LAW PRACTICE WERE IN NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS. I CAME TO TACOMA TO DIRECT THE LOCAL LEGAL AID PROGRAM IN REMAINED HERE FOR 29 YEARS.
A PERSON REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY ON A SOCIAL SECURITY CLAIMS WILL USUALLY PREVAIL 80-90% OF THE TIME BY THE SECOND APPEAL TO A ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE.
I WELCOME PHONE CALLS WITH QUESTIONS AT NO CHARGE REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY LAW, FAIRHOUSING AND GROUP HOMES, AND FEDERAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT PROGRAMS.
THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY REPRESENTATION UNLESS THE CLAIMANT WINS THE APPEAL. THE ATTORNEY FEES ARE SET BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AT 25% OF THE RETROACTIVE AWARD OR $ , WHICH EVER IS LESS.
