In this video North Carolina attorney Michael A. DeMayo answers the question: How much does it cost to hire a lawyer to help with SSD applications? We generally recommend that folks file their own application with Social Security Administration and when they are denied then they hire us. We work on a contingency fee basis; we charge 25% of the back wages that a person would be entitled to once we get them approved for SSD and our fee is capped at $6,000, so there is no way we can charge more than that. There is no up-front money for us to help someone with their SSD appeal.
