Frequently Asked Questions About Working with Disability Lawyers Like Truc Nguyen
What kinds of cases does Truc take?
If you need to apply for Social Security Disability benefits, Truc helps you build and submit your claim. If you are denied disability benefits, she helps you strengthen your claim and appeal for more chances to be approved.
What does a disability lawyer like Truc do?
Social Security Disability lawyers guide you in correctly filling out the many application forms for benefits, help you gather medical records and other documents to support your claim, make sure everything is filed properly with Social Security, and track the status of your case.
If you’re denied, a disability lawyer helps you make legal arguments for why you should be approved and shepherds your case through the appeals process, which is more complicated than your initial application.
Perhaps most of all, your disability lawyer provides support and caring attention through a difficult process.
How much does it cost to get a disability lawyer?
You don’t pay any up-front fee for a disability lawyer. Disability lawyers like Truc work on what’s called a “contingency fee basis,” meaning your lawyer only gets paid if you win benefits.
When you win, your lawyer’s fee comes out of back benefits that Social Security awards to compensate you for time that you waited on their decision.
It’s a one-time payment limited to a portion of your back benefits. You don’t have to write a check or give up any of your monthly disability benefits going forward.
