My little rant on social security lawyer
There are limits to how much that dollar amount can be. A lawyer can receive no more than about $6000. Social Security usually pays your legal representative directly and subtracts it from your back pay sum. You may have to pay your lawyer for out of pocket expenses that may have been incurred, in addition to the amounts limited by Social Security. Q: Do you have to have an attorney in order to be awarded social security disability benefits ? A: You do not need a social security attorney to win your case.
