WHAT'S A FULL SERVICE DISABILITY FIRM?

We refer to The Forsythe Firm as a full service advocacy firm.  What do we mean by "full service"?

It means that we can help with your disability claim at every step in the process--from application to appeal hearing.

But it means much more than that.  We deliver individualized personal service to every client.  On day one, you will meet face-to-face with the lawyer or advocate will handle your claim, the same one who will be with you all the way through appeals, if necessary.   

We will be available to speak to you about your case, whether it's updates or just answering your questions.  You have unlimited access to your advocate's email address, even personal cell number.  We will be totally "connected" with you until you get your pay.

You never pay a penny upfront to get this service. Our fee is due "on the back end" of the case.  When you are awarded benefits with back pay, Social Security will deducted the fee you agree to from the back pay.  If you don't receive back pay, there is no attorney's fee.  None.

It's easy to contact us.  For a telephone conversation about your claim, or to make an appointment, just call us at (256) 799-0297.

IS IT HARD TO GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY IN TENNESSEE?

  How hard is it to get Social Security disability (SSDI) in Tennessee? It can be very difficult.  In the beginning stages of the process, it seems like the agency is out to deny as many claims as possible.  Later--in the appeals process--it takes more technical and legal skill to move through the labyrinth of obstacles. What's the usual reason for an SSDI denial? If you look at all the denial letters, the most comm on reason given is:  You are not disabled according to our rules.

CAN YOU WIN YOUR DISABILITY APPEAL WITHOUT A LAWYER?

The Social Security Administration does not require you to have a lawyer to file an appeal or to appear at a hearing.  However, most people heading for a disability hearing will hire a lawyer or advocate to help them.   Studies have shown that you are about twice as likely to win with a lawyer.  A recent study found that claimants with no lawyer win about 30 percent of the time while claimants with a lawyer or advocate win 60 percent of the time.   " He just cooked his own goose." These statistics cover only one aspect of a disability appear--your odds of winning. The other important aspects are time and convenience.
