What is Barry Schultz's Yelp rating?
He currently holds a 5-star rating on Yelp. As with any single data point, those considering their options should feel free to conduct their own research and speak with the attorney directly.
What happens if I have already been denied by the SSA?
A denial at the initial stage is common, and the majority of successful disability cases go through at least one level of appeal. An attorney can assess your denial notice and recommend the appropriate next step.
How does the contingency fee arrangement work in Social Security cases?

Can I still work while applying for Social Security disability?
This depends on how much you earn and the nature of your work. The SSA uses a standard called Substantial Gainful Activity to evaluate whether work activity affects your eligibility, and an attorney can help you understand how this applies to your situation.
