What does one expect from their disability attorney? I have tried to build my practice around what I would expect, if I were being represented for disability benefits. The following are some things I think people want and expect from me, not merely an advocate, but a licensed attorney.
1. I think people want to know that I am an attorney, not merely an advocate, you will notice some people talk about being advocates, but listen closely, do they ever say they are licensed attorneys? I am a licensed attorney, and attended Mississippi College for my law school education.
2. I think people want to see their attorney, you will see me, I will come to your home if you would like, I would much rather meet you in person than send you a packet through the mail. I think people want to know and see their attorney. You will not be calling a phone bank, you will talk to me.
3. I think people want to know if you have ever been before a judge or jury, have you represented people and not just companies or businesses, have you ever deposed a surgeon, doctor, engineer, etc.
4. I think people want a disability attorney that will answer his or her phone, and not have to leave voice messages with a secretary or voice mail machine.
5. I think people want to talk to their disability attorney, find out how their case is proceeding.
6. I think people want an attorney who understands there is a grid system, and a listing system in the social security disability procedure. An attorney that understands there are many procedures involved in disability law.
7. I think people want an attorney who can seek the advice of a medical doctor, or nurse to discuss their case.
8. I think people want to be treated with respect.
If you need a licensed attorney to represent you in your disability claim, please call my law office Monday through Saturday at toll free (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633. I look forward to hearing from you.
