Why Should I Hire a Lawyer?

People often find themselves torn between hiring a lawyer and trying to handle their situation themselves. Though you should always make the decision that’s best for you, hiring a lawyer to handle your workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, or disability retirement matter can substantially help your case. Additionally, we only charge a contingency fee for cases, which means that you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. Here are some of the many benefits of having an experienced lawyer on your side:

Value Of A Lawyer

Hiring An Attorney Can Increase Your Chances of Success

Having a lawyer on your side often increases your chances of success. For Social Security Disability cases, claimants who are represented by an attorney are three times more likely to be awarded benefits at a disability hearing. For workers’ compensation cases, claimants who have a lawyer receive 31% more than unrepresented claimants. Having an attorney on your side can only help your case.

Call us at (805) 243-2179 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys. We can answer any questions you may have and help you navigate next steps. You are never charged a fee unless we recover compensation for you.
