Nashua Disability Attorneys
Having a Nashua disability attorney help you with your claim can significantly increase your chances of being approved. Some people choose not to hire an attorney, because they think there is an hourly fee or an upfront fee associated with hiring a disability attorney. However, disability attorneys work on a contingency basis and are not paid unless you are not awarded benefits. If your claim is approved, the SSA will directly send him or her a check. Your attorney will receive 25% of the back pay you are awarded, up to a maximum of $6,000.
