Attorneys and disability advocates send their denials to us when it is time to appeal their client’s case to Federal Court. We would also like you to refer us your Federal Appeals. We can file your client’s appeal with the United States District Court.
The Government takes the position that a typical Federal Court case takes approximately 30-40 hours, on average, to write the brief and reply, and litigate until the conclusion. However, our experience is that it often takes much longer to properly appeal a Social Security Disability case to Federal Court. It is not uncommon for us to invest as much as 50-70 hours into a single case. The most time we invested into a single case at the District Court level was 120 hours. If you believe your client has a strong federal appeal, but you simply do not have the time to commit to federal litigation, and manage the strict time deadlines that accompany such litigation, we would be happy to handle the case for you.
Upon the conclusion of the case we will send the file back to you to complete the remand proceedings. A referring attorney or non-attorney representative does not give up representation of their client. You continue to represent the client before the Social Security Administration. Once we win the remand, we will send the claim back to you, and you can complete the administrative proceedings.
We will never interfere with your attorney-client relationship. We will never take the client for administrative proceedings, we will never refer the client to other attorneys, and if the client has strategic questions regarding the claim we send the client back to you for legal advice. You are the primary representative.
Your client pays no up-front attorney fees, and you keep your claim along with the 406A fees. We only work for the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”) and any available 406B fees.
In addition, we pay referral fees to our referral partners. For more information on referral fees, click here.
The bottom line is this: There is no risk to refer the case to us. You keep the client. You keep the 406A fees. You do not have to invest 30-40+ hours of work into the case. We are here to provide you, and your client, additional support for the case.
