Do I need an attorney to represent me?
No, many people file the initial application on their own, but 65% of social security claims are denied at application. The entire process of applying, attending hearings, and appealing decisions is complex and overwhelming. Hiring a disability attorney takes the workload off you as the claimant so that you can focus on your well-being.
What are your fees?
There are no fees to assist with your application or appeal. There may be some fees associated with getting your medical records. If your claim is successful, your attorney is paid a percentage of your back pay directly by the Social Security Administration or the V.A.
Why should I choose Encompass Legal Services?
Abby’s first career was in healthcare. She was an ICU nurse before she became a hospital-based nurse practitioner. Abby understands your medical conditions, the medical terminology, and where to find the details in your medical records. Abby knows how to communicate with your healthcare providers to get the required documentation into your medical record. For veterans, Abby can help increase your disability rating by connecting your symptoms to medical conditions and linking your medical conditions together.
