How much does a board certified disability attorney cost compared to a non-certified lawyer?

A board certified disability specialist typically won’t cost any more than other, less experienced attorneys, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) has to approve all attorney fees, and in almost every case, attorneys seek payment through the fee agreement process. The standard fee agreement process requires the attorney (no matter how qualified or experienced) to charge the same fee. 

Under this process, no fee may be charged unless the attorney wins the case. Upon winning the case, the fee is limited to 25% of the retroactive benefits (before deduction for expenses) received by you and your dependents, or $6,000, whichever amount is lower. Reasonable out of pocket expenses are charged in addition to the attorney’s fee.
