Atticus has a dedicated team committed to vetting disability attorneys and legal representatives. Our goal is to connect you only with an excellent disability lawyer who will treat you with respect. After your intake, we’ll refer you to a law firm based on your location, the stage of your case, and your medical conditions.
Here are some of the factors we use when vetting lawyers:
Specialization: Atticus works with lawyers specializing in Social Security disability. You want an attorney who has focused extensively on Social Security disability who understands the process inside and out.
Experience: Experience matters a lot. Most of the lawyers we work with have 10+ years of experience, has been to hundreds of hearings, and has served hundreds, if not thousands, of clients.
Reputation: We seek out lawyers respected by the bar and well-regarded by their peers, with a proven track record of sharing knowledge with the field.
Treating clients well: We look for lawyers who are easy for clients to reach, kind to work with, and who make clients feel ready and confident about their case.
Wins: Results are important, and we look for lawyers with proven track records of winning benefits for their clients.
Size of firm: We refer to both solo lawyers and big firms and don’t prefer one over the other. Some cases fit better with certain firms.
