Social Security Disability claims: Why having legal representation can make all the difference
The attorneys at Robert Peirce & Associates have been helping individuals who can no longer work, due to an injury or chronic illness, since the firm was established. Bob Peirce, founder of the firm, was one of the first attorneys in the Pittsburgh area to handle Social Security Disability cases. Today, the firm has represented over 30,000 cases and is one of the largest Social Security Disability law firms in Western Pennsylvania.
The average Social Security payment is around $1200 per month and can help cover important bills, pay for medical treatments, or mortgage payments. Each year, there are more than two million Social Security Disability claims filed in the United States. While the statistics of approval can vary from state to state, nationally, close to 65% of all disability cases are denied on the first application filed with the Social Security Administration. To prevent being denied, it is important not to wait and avoid filing the claim on your own. The advantage of having experienced legal representation from the start will greatly improve the likelihood of winning your case.
Attorney Adrian DeGori has been helping clients file Social Security Disability claims at Robert Peirce & Associates for the past nine years. “We work diligently to help people maneuver through this complicated process,” said DeGori.
“So many people don’t understand how important it is to have legal representation to file these claims. It can be very overwhelming, so thorough detail and precise organization of the evidence can make or break a case. The ramifications of pursuing your claim on your own can be much more time consuming and result in multiple denials,” said DeGori.
At Robert Peirce & Associates, the experienced legal professionals will walk you through the process every step of the way. The overall goal is to win your case so you can receive the benefits you deserve. This is a long and complex process, with multiple deadlines that must be met in order to prevent your claim being denied. Your legal representation from Robert Peirce & Associates will be with you every step of the way providing the following professional services:
• Completing the initial application
• Submitting all forms and required documents
• Organizing details of the case
• Contacting and providing witnesses
• Securing and submitting all necessary medical records and evidence
• Meeting all required deadlines
• Filing an appeal when necessary
The legal representatives at Robert Peirce & Associates have experience in handling these cases, and quite often help clients identify additional pieces of evidence that make their case even stronger.
Choosing legal representation rather than pursuing your claim on your own will make all the difference in filing a successful claim. There is a common misconception that the costs associated with securing an attorney to handle your case will be exorbitant. However, the maximum fee is $6,000, and there is no fee unless we win your case.
For over 40 years, Robert Peirce & Associates has been providing supportive and compassionate legal representation. Let the dedicated Social Security Disability attorneys of Robert Peirce & Associates guide you through this process so you can submit the strongest claim possible.
