Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a Social Security disability decision?

Initial applications typically take three to six months. If denied and appealed, the timeline can extend to one to two years. Effinger Law will monitor your case and prepare appeals if necessary.

What if my first disability application was denied?

Denial is common and does not mean you are ineligible. Many applicants win on appeal with proper representation. Effinger Law can file a reconsideration request or appeal to an administrative judge.

How much does it cost to hire a disability attorney?

Social Security disability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win. The fee is a percentage of your back pay, subject to Social Security Administration approval.
