Do disability attorneys offer free consultations?

Yes—most disability attorneys do offer free consultations. These no-cost meetings give you the chance to understand your legal options without committing to anything upfront.



If you're unsure about applying for disability benefits or appealing a denial, a free consultation can be the perfect first step.

Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.


What Happens During a Free Consultation?

You don’t need to bring a ton of paperwork, but being prepared helps. During a free consultation, an attorney will typically:


  • Review your medical condition and work history
  • Ask questions about your daily limitations and how they impact your life
  • Evaluate your eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Go over what the application or appeals process looks like
  • Answer your questions about timelines, documents, and next steps


What a Free Consultation Doesn’t Cost You

  • No fees upfront
  • No commitment to hire the lawyer
  • No pressure—just information to help you make the right decision


Disability attorneys are usually paid only if you win your case, so these initial meetings are risk-free for you.


Why a Free Consultation Is Worth It

Even if you’re not sure you need a lawyer yet, here’s why scheduling a free consult is a smart move:


  • You’ll know whether your claim is strong or needs more evidence
  • You can ask questions you might not find answers to online
  • You’ll get insight on how to avoid common mistakes
  • It gives you peace of mind—you’re not alone in the process
