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
