A:An attorney’s guidance is an important asset in any SSD case, but the burden is on the client to make a wise choice from the outset. A starting point:
Ask them about the number of SSD and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases they have handled. You should also find out how often they help their clients succeed and how quickly the process will proceed. A lawyer who dangles promises of a quick turnaround may not have your best interests at heart. It is not unusual for the process to take up to two years.
