Social Security Attorney
If you decide to appeal a denied social security claim, hiring a social security attorney in Winfield, West Virginia will give you a fighting chance to get the social security benefits that you need to live and thrive. A social security attorney here at Johnson Law Office PLLC can take your case to court, gather evidence, and advise you on the day of the court proceedings. Here are some ways a social security attorney will increase your chances of getting the money that you deserve.
- Helping you make your legal case for social security benefits.
Nobody knows your situation better than you, and your lived experience is precious in a social security case. The social security administration needs to understand how and why you need benefits to live; your only job is to prove this to them through the day-to-day experience of what it’s like to be you. Your social security lawyer’s role is to take all the information you give them and condense it into concise, clear evidence as to why you, within US law, should be provided with benefits.
- Reading, interpreting, and creating an argument based on your medical records.
Medical records are difficult to compile into a brief argument, but that’s where a social security attorney comes in. Michelle Johnson is professional at reading medical information and understanding how to present it to a judge as evidence.
- Prepare you for speaking in court.
If you are concerned about having to speak in court, we understand and want you to know that it is completely normal. If you aren’t used to it, speaking in front of a judge, lawyers, witnesses, and other administrative assistants can be quite nerve-wracking. In a social security hearing, you may be asked to speak for yourself; in this case, a social security attorney will prepare you for this. The attorney will not tell you what to say – the words have to come from you – but they can advise on how best to conduct yourself in front of the judge.
- Stand with you and represent you in a court of law.
When the day comes, your social security attorney will do most of the talking. Having a professional on your side who can best represent you in a vulnerable, nerve-wracking situation puts you in with the best chance of achieving your appeal and receiving disability benefits.
- Aid and advice on appeals.
If the judge rules against you when you go to court, your social security lawyer can advise you on your next steps. If they believe it is worth pursuing an appeal, they will let you know and even file the appeal on your behalf. Having a court rule against you can be challenging and can cause anger, frustration, and sadness. A social security lawyer can help you through this moment and give you concrete plans for the future.
