Thanks for your info, my wife has not worked at all, she is a mom of 3 kids now. She wants to apply but looking for a lawyer to help her out. She doesn’t know what the regulations are and where to find the lawyer.
What is your best advice if you have a lawyer already working on your case, but he is extremely hard to contact, and rarely answers any of my questions, basically I have done almost everything on my own, is it possible to get a new lawyer after you have applied?
Sorry to hear you've had a hard time getting in touch with your lawyer. Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult to find a new representation once you've started working with a firm. One of the reasons we started Atticus was to help folks find the right representation the first time - since it can be so hard to switch. We have a full write up on firing your lawyer here: www.atticus.com/advice/general/when-and-how-to-fire-your-disability-lawyer Because the disability process takes awhile - there are often long stretches of time in which your lawyer doesn't have any updates. It's just a waiting game with the SSA. If they're slow to respond when you *do* have a deadline coming up - we recommend reaching out with more persistence. But often - as unideal as it feels - a firm can represent you well while being difficult to reach. If you have questions about the disability benefits process and still can't reach your lawyer - we have a ton of free advice in our resource center: www.atticus.com/advice We wish you the best of luck!
I like the video she was really clear about things and I hope this works because my this is for my brother
so happy to have helped! wishing your brother luck!

The lawyer gets most of your back time money tho
You're right; lawyers are paid out of your pack pay check. But by law - they can only take 25% of that check, or $9200, whichever is lower.
