When should I contact an attorney?

As a general rule it is better to contact an attorney earlier rather that later. A licensed attorney has had to excel academically in 4 years of college, pass his courses during his or her pursuit of a Doctoral degree during three years of Law School and to pass a 2 to 3 day long examination for the State Bar and pass an in depth background check to be sworn in to represent you in this area. Additionally a licensed attorney is ethically bound to expeditiously and zealously prosecute your claim. By the rules that control licensed attorneys, the earlier you get your disability benefits, the lower the attorneys fees will be on those past benefits. Non-lawyers are not licensed or required to expeditiously and zealously represent you or to expedite your claim. The SSA now applies its complex processes, making the help of an experienced lawyer even more important.
