So, it’s a good question to ask. If I hire Cuddigan Law to represent me, what is it going to cost?
Unlike many other professionals, we do not charge any upfront fees when we take your case. We work on a contingency basis which means we only get paid if we win your case and Social Security pays you a lump sum in back payments.
In SSDI and SSI cases, payments to attorneys are limited by law to no more than 25% of back payments due and there is a cap on the fees which limits the amount of the fee. For
any cases favorably decided the cap—the maximum fee—is $7,200.
You pay the lesser of 25% of back payments or the cap amount. We do not receive any percentage of future disability benefits.
Typically there are a few incidental costs, separate from attorney fees, which we incur on your behalf as we prepare your case, like the costs of getting your medical records for example. Those expenses will have to be repaid at the end of your case whether you win your case or not.
Many people don’t know this but you don’t have to be an attorney to represent a person at a Social Security disability hearing. As a result there are many individuals who advertise that they can assist your disability claim. But because fees for anyone who represents you are set by law it does not cost one cent more to hire an attorney. And it doesn’t cost any more to hire an experienced attorney who focuses exclusively on Social Security disability law.
