Binder and Binder helped me win my claim. It had to go to an Administrative law judge and Binder and Binder was by my side the entire time working hard and reassuring me that all would be okay. I am thankful for Binder and Binder.

I contacted Binder & Binder after my social security application was denied. they were diligent, informative and well versed on everything I needed to do to assist in winning my case. We won!! I have been recommending people to them 1/2 way through my appeal & I recommend you give them the opportunity to help you.
I used Binder & Binder back in 2001 for my Social Security permanent disability claim. In less than one year, my claim was approved. They were very precise and worked along with me. I know that this was a long time ago, but the people in the firm were very professional and got the job done for me.
Binder & Binder filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 18, 2014. This has serious potential consequences for their disability clients. Our advice is to seek high quality (and solvent) representation now. The complete bankruptcy filing is public information and is available here.
The simple answer is yes. If you are unhappy with the legal representation you are receiving you can always withdraw from an attorney . However, doing so may have some ramifications on your claim.
Benefits of Working with a Lawyer Hiring an attorney prior to submitting your application will increase your chances of approval and help you avoid the appeals process. A disability attorney or advocate will be familiar with the Social Security review process and the rules that govern eligibility .
Again, the maximum the disability attorney can charge is 25% of your backpay for his or her services, up to a maximum of $6,000. For example, if your back-dated benefits are calculated to be $10,000, your attorney will be paid $2,500 and you will receive $7,500.
Sometimes a disability case will require multiple hearings, an appeal to the Appeals Council, or even a trip to federal district court. These sorts of cases can drag on for many years and require a lot of work for disability attorneys .
Write a simple letter stating: “I no longer wish for attorney ______ to represent me in my claim for Social Security Disability benefits.” Sign it and include your Social Security number. Take the letter to the local Social Security office, which will take the attorney off as the listed representative in your case.
Here are some things you need to know if you decide to brave the Social Security process without a disability lawyer . Although the Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t require you to hire an attorney , statistics show that you are much more likely to be approved if you are represented.
In an article titled Trends in the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income Disability Programs, Social Security itself references various factors for the increase in disability beneficiaries: “Many things have changed that alter the direct relationship between the size of the population and the size of the disability rolls: ...
Today, the National Review published a partisan attack on the organization Binder & Binder, and collaterally on the Social Security Disability system of benefits, in an article titled Binder on Binder & Binder .Notice that I called Binder & Binder an organization and not a law firm. This is by choice as it is not really a law firm. It is an organization of disability advocates, all of whom are not attorneys. That is why they call themselves “National Social Security Disability Advocates” and not “A National Social Security Disability Law Firm” or “National Social Security Disability Attorneys”.In any event, I just want to be clear that I am not writing to defend Binder & Binder. My goal is instead to correct many factual inaccuracies from Ms. Melchior’s article.
