How can I afford a Social Security lawyer when I can’t work?

Contrary to what people think about lawyers, Social Security lawyers tend to be very affordable. When you hire a social security attorney, you only pay them attorney fees if you win your claim. So, you only pay if you get paid. The social security administration carefully monitors how much a social security attorney charges. The attorneys are statutorily limited to charging a max of 25% of back pay awarded to you (up to a max of $6,000). That means that in most cases you can only be required to pay money that was already owed to you before you received your social security benefits, and even that amount is limited.
