FAQs

What would Paul Jensen do to represent me in my disability case?
My role depends on the particular facts of your case. However, a few of the things an attorney may do are:

  • Gather medical records and other evidence.
  • Analyze your case under Social Security regulations.
  • Contact your doctor and explain Social Security regulations to obtain a report consistent with those regulations.
  • Refer you to additional doctors (usually specialists) for further medical reports to answer questions raised by Social Security regulations.
  • Send you to a vocational expert for a report on your ability to work.
  • Suggest that the Social Security Administration send you to a doctor for a consultative examination.
  • Obtain documents from your Social Security file.
  • Review actions taken by the Social Security Administration.
  • Ask that a prior application for benefits be reopened.
  • Seek waiver of a time limit.
  • Request subpoenas to ensure the presence of crucial witnesses or documents at your hearing.
  • Advise you how best to prepare yourself to testify at your hearing.
  • Protect your right to a fair hearing by objecting to improper evidence and procedures.
  • Cross-examine adverse witnesses at your hearing.
  • Present a closing statement at your hearing arguing that you are entitled to benefits under Social Security regulations.
  • Submit a written summary of the evidence and argument to the Administrative Law Judge.
  • Review, suggest changes, or make legal objections to written questions, which are sometimes sent to a doctor by the Administrative Law Judge after a hearing requesting an additional medical opinion.
  • If you win, make sure that the Social Security Administration correctly calculates your benefits.
  • If you lose, request review of the hearing decision by the Appeals Council.

Do I need an Attorney?
Yes. People represented by attorneys have been successful more often than people without an attorney's representation. Whether you hire an attorney or not is entirely up to you, but you should consider what an attorney could do in your case.

How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
Attorneys charge clients in different ways. The Social Security Administration (SSA) must approve all fees. In cases involving initial entitlement to benefits, there is no fee if there is no recovery. The fee is limited to 25% of back benefits, or $6,000, whichever is less. Whatever the fee arrangement, you may have to pay for medical records, reports and other expenses.

SSA will withhold 25% of past due benefits payable to you and your family. Nothing will be withheld from your regular monthly checks.

PAUL JENSEN DEVOTES HIS PRACTICE EXCLUSIVELY TO SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CLAIMS?

By restricting my practice to Social Security Disability, I handle more of these cases than most attorneys would handle in a lifetime of practice. This allows me to obtain a great familiarity with the practice of Social Security Law. The reason for this is that the decisions disabled clients make regarding their Social Security Disability Claim have Lifelong Implications.

Because of free consultations, direct access to an experienced attorney in a highly-qualified staff, Jensen and DeHaan make it convenient. You should not worry.

All cases are handled on a contingency basis. That means that there is no fee unless money is recovered. There are no up-front costs. All terms of the attorney-client relationship are contained in a retainer agreement, which is filed the Social Security Administration and approved, so that the client knows exactly what the terms of representation are.

We are an aggressive, experienced and compassionate law firm dedicated to serving the needs of a disabled client.

In addition, if your injury/disability was the result of an accident, slip and fall, or work-related injury, we make referrals to attorney Stephen DeHaan of Jensen and DeHaan.

Our business hours are based upon client's needs. Appointments can be made at different times and locations, if necessary.

Talk to a distant, unlicensed representative and talk to us and judge the difference.
