If you live near Athens, AL and need help getting Social Security disability benefits, contact the Forsythe Firm.
When you apply for disability, there is an 80 percent chance of denial. The letter usually says, "This is because you are not disabled according to our rules."
"Our rules" is the big problem. Social Security usually defines a disability as being unable to perform any type of work, even unskilled minimum wage jobs. So, Social Security typically admits that you can't perform you regular work....but they say there are other types of work you can still do. Hence, a denial.
If we represent you, we will seek ways to use the rules to prove that you are disabled and that you are eligible for a check. Do we always win? No, of course not. But our track record is very good. And if you don't win we will never charge you a fee. We will also never charge you for any of our expenses in trying to help you.
What usually happens when you call the Forsythe Firm?
1. We will get some information from you: your age, the status of your claim, what your medical problems are and a little about your past work.
2. If it looks like you have a claim we can work with, we will set up a free consultation at our local office. You will come in for a face-to-face consultation where we will more fully explain our representation and how we plan to help you.
3. You will sign a "Contingency Fee Agreement." This agreement states that you will not owe us any fee or other money unless you win your claim and collect back pay (past due benefits) from Social Security.
4. Your advocate will meet with you personally and explain what must be done to win your case. Usually, this will involve a hearing before a US Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), which we will prepare for.
SHOULD YOU CHOSE A LOCAL ADVOCATE OR CALL ONE OF THOSE 800 NUMBERS ON TV?
Your choice of advocate is up to you. If you call an 800 number from TV, however, your call will probably be answered by a call center in a distant city and you will not see your advocate until the day of the hearing, which may be two years away. If you call our local number, you get us, not a call center. You will meet us right away and the person who interviews you at your first appointment will, in most cases, be the person who represents you at your hearing. We have offices in North Alabama, not Los Angeles, New York or Dallas. You may also find that our service is more personal.
