What do disability lawyers do?
Disability lawyers have experience and knowledge that individuals filing claims often lack. They consider what needs to be proven in order to win the claim and gather all of the necessary information, including doctor’s opinions, independent medical evaluations, and reports from vocational counselors. They assist in the filing of government forms, prepare the client to testify at the hearing, prepare written legal briefs for judges, present the case, make legal argument and cross-examine the government vocational expert at the hearing, and provide the client with counsel throughout the entire process.
