Akron Ohio Social Security Disability Lawyers

When you become disabled and need Social Security Disability (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you may suddenly begin to notice radio commercials, newspaper advertisements and Internet advertisements for “nationwide” Social Security Disability law firms and advocates. You wonder whether you should answer these advertisements to get help with your own application for DIB and/or SSI benefits.

These law firms may flout the high number of clients they serve every year. They may imply that they make Social Security appeals easy — or that they have a very high success rate handling appeals on behalf of clients who have become disabled. They may sound friendly, enticing and approachable.

But these law firms/advocates may be far from Ohio. They might not even be lawyers. They may refuse to work on challenging cases. They may rely only on office staff to interact with clients. They may never meet with you or talk to you on the phone before your hearing. As a Social Security applicant in Ohio, is it in your best interests to entrust your appeal to this type of law firm?

Is It in Your Best Interests to Work With an Out-of-State SSD Law Firm?

A law firm that only gives a 1-800 number as contact information and does not reveal its location may, in fact, be in New York or in some other distant location. It may be staffed with large numbers of non-attorneys. If you do business with them, you may not have face-to-face interaction with the attorney who will represent you at your appeals hearing. You may not have a lawyer close by to answer your questions, go over your paperwork with you in person or pay close attention to your concerns.
