Social Security lawyers can be retained to help disabled people get Social Security Disability benefits, SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income). 

These lawyers can often help with Social Security Retirement and Survivors Benefits claims. If your disability claim has been denied, the Social Security lawyer can bring an appeal. The lawyer can also represent you at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge that handles these matters. Lawyer’s fees are usually paid out of the winning claim, rather than a payment of an hourly fee.
