The answer depends on you and your needs.

Others find that Cavey & Barrett assists them in avoiding missed deadlines and having to avoid the stress of dealing with the Social Security Administration.

Most often then not, Social Security Disability applicants come to Cavey & Barrett after their initial application has been denied. While we are more than happy to represent you at any stage inthe Social Security proceedings, we think that getting an attorney after the first denial is crucial in advancing your claim to the hearing stage.

During the course of your claim, Cavey & Barrett make sure that the Social Security Administration recieves your ongoing medical records and is kept up to date with your medical treatment. We prepare a brief for the court prior to the hearing, setting forth the reasons why your claim should be accepted and, of course, if we have to go to a hearing, we prepare your court hearing. Waiting till the last minute doesn't help anyone prepare for your big day in front of the Administrative Law Judge.
