In addition to what all competent disability attorneys do,
here are four distinguishing commitments:
To work hands-on with the claimant or significant others in all phases of the process with no delegation to staff.
To educate the claimant on how to use specially designed diaries and charts for documenting symptoms, signs, and functional limitations.
To assist claimants in transmitting this crucial information not only to SSA but also to their doctors.
To begin representation early in the claims process, optimally at the application stage, regardless of fee considerations.
