FAQs

Social security lawyer Memphis — common questions.

What does a Social Security lawyer in Memphis cost?

Nothing up front. We work on contingency — 25% of back pay, capped at $9,200 by the SSA, and only if we win. See exactly how disability lawyer fees work.

Do I need a Social Security attorney in Memphis to file?

Not to file — but most initial claims are denied, and represented claimants have significantly higher approval odds at the hearing level.

Do you handle both SSDI and SSI in Memphis?

Yes. We handle SSDI (work-history based) and SSI (need-based) for Memphis and Shelby County claimants, and file both concurrently when it helps.

How long does a Memphis Social Security claim take?

Initial decisions take months; a hearing can be 12–18 months out. Filing correctly the first time and appealing within the 60-day window avoids adding months.

Where do hearings happen?

Most Memphis-area hearings are held at the local hearing office, and many are now offered by phone or video. We prepare you for every question either way.
