When you suffer from a serious illness or injury, you may not be able to work a full-time job anymore. You also may have little to no means to earn a meaningful income with which to support yourself and your family.
Instead of relying solely on welfare or handouts from family, you may want to apply for benefits that you have paid into while you were still working. You can get the help that you need to navigate the legal process of applying by hiring an experienced Social Security disability attorney in Mesa, AZ, to represent you.
Appearing in Court
When you have a lawyer on retainer, you can get representation to speak for you in court. You may not know how to tell the judge in charge of your case how you are disabled and to what extent you cannot work. You fear he or she may not believe you or think that you actually can work and earn an income.
However, your lawyer knows what arguments to use to convince the judge to side in your favor. He or she can answer most or all of the questions for you and spare you from saying the wrong thing that might sink your case.
Your lawyer can also file appeals for you if your initial case is denied. You can find out more about why you should hire a Social Security disability attorney in Mesa, AZ, online. Contact Slepian Ellexson, PLLC today.
