Do I Need an Attorney When Filing for Disability?
Should You Hire A Social Security Disability Lawyer?
A Knoxville social security disability attorney or non-attorney representative can’t guarantee that a claimant will be awarded Social Security Disability or SSI benefits. However, a social security disability lawyer can help you properly prepare for your case prior to its hearing date.
According to NOLO – 50% of those who had lawyers were approved for benefits compared to 23% of those who didn’t.
Lawyers Can Help Win You More Backpay
Additionally, the disability claimants who DO win their claims without the help of a lawyer may not obtain the most favorable “disability onset date,” this may affects how much back-pay you get.

I am still in the process of trying to get disability. I suffer from extreme PTSD, anxiety disorder and depression. Mr. Devore spent several hours with me while filling out the paperwork to ensure that I was understanding everything that was going on. I have received phone calls several times from his office to make sure everything is getting done. It is clear that he sincerely is wanting to help me. Even though I am still in the process of disability, I am confident that Mr. Devore will continue to do everything in his power to assist me and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Devore was excellent. At every step he gave me confidence that he knew what he was doing, and that the case would have a favorable outcome. I suffer from severe anxiety issues, and Mr. DeVore would carefully monitor my level of comfort, turning the conversation to other topics when I was approaching my limits. I would recommend Mr. DeVore to anyone.

Devin DeVore is an absolutely amazing person and attorney.
