DC Social Security Benefits Hearing Attorney

The Social Security disability hearing is one of the most important aspects of the Social Security benefits application process. Having a successful hearing is vital, as a majority of claims are won in hearings. Hearings take place after an applicant has been denied at the initial and reconsideration stages of their application. Once an applicant has been denied, they can request a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge to argue their case. Social Security benefits hearings are the only part of the application process where an applicant can convey their argument in-person, in front of a judge.

Social Security benefits applicants have the choice of hiring a disability hearing attorney, or representing themselves instead in front of the judge. However, opting to represent yourself can be detrimental to your case. Statistically, applicants are significantly more likely to win their benefits claim in the hearing stage when they are represented by an attorney. Hiring a DC Social Security benefits hearing attorney is key to winning your claim and receiving the benefits you need. Fortunately, The Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers are experienced in Social Security benefits hearings and trial law. We can help you prepare for your hearing and successfully argue your case in front of the Administrative Law Judge.

Applicants only have 60 days to request a hearing after receiving their notice of denial from the Social Security Administration. Additionally, if you lose your claim during a hearing, you may have to wait a significant amount of time to be granted another hearing through the appeals process. Because of this, it is imperative to contact our DC Social Security benefits hearing attorneys as soon as you have been denied benefits. We can help you navigate the hearing process and, ultimately, help you successfully argue your case in front of a judge.
