Charlotte Social Security Disability Attorneys

Helping You Understand Our Fee Structure and Services

You may have decided that you want an attorney to represent you in your disability benefits case, but you are unsure if you can afford one. Whether you are seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or veterans disability (VA) benefits, our North Carolina law firm is only paid for its work on your behalf if benefits are awarded. In other words, we do not collect an attorney fee unless we win your claim. If we win, our fees are limited by statute and must be approved by the appropriate administrative authority first.

Helping You Develop a Comprehensive Medical Record

With more than 60 years of combined legal experience handling claims just like yours, our disability benefits attorneys know what it takes to develop a comprehensive medical record. We will talk to you about your condition and history of medical treatment and give you advice about how to make your case stronger. We will help you learn how to talk to your doctors so that they can understand all your symptoms and limitations and evaluate you for them. We will advise your doctor on how to describe your medical condition in a way that the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the VA will understand.

Doing Our Best to Prepare a Winning Disability Benefits Claim

We understand what goes into winning a claim. In an SSD benefits case, claims can be won on the basis of one single impairment, whether physical or mental, or on the basis of a combination of impairments. Other factors, like age, education and work history, are very important.

We are experienced in reading medical records and have dealt with numerous diseases, injuries and conditions many times. We know what information is important to obtain from your doctors. We know how to help an administrative law judge (ALJ) understand your issues and what laws and regulations apply in your case. The same is true in VA benefits cases. We understand the impairments, how to explain them, and how to point the VA to the proper laws and regulations that govern your claim.

We do all the administrative work for you. We will talk to agency employees on your behalf, so that you do not have to speak to them. We will obtain all of your medical and mental health evidence. We will evaluate your case to decide what other evidence might be important, such as school records or statements from former employers, and obtain that evidence as well. We will follow your claim to make sure that it is being processed correctly.

Hempson & Zupanec: We Will Be There for You Throughout the Process

Even after your claim is approved, we will monitor your case to make sure that you have been paid correctly. While being approved for either SSD or VA benefits may seem like the hard part, it is not unusual for benefits to be calculated or paid out incorrectly.
