Local vs. National Social Security Disability Attorneys in Spokane

Request a Consultation
Eric and Gary Penar

When you need a Social Security disability attorney, you want someone local who knows Spokane, Eastern Washington, and North Idaho – not someone who flies in from Seattle, or even California or Utah. Our attorneys live and work in Spokane and can help you with your Social Security disability claim.

If you select a national disability firm, it’s not uncommon for your claim to be handled by someone – who may not even an attorney – you won’t meet until the day of your hearing. This representative won’t know you as an individual, all the details of your case, or the people who will decide your case.

Our disability attorneys know the judges, doctors, and people in the Social Security offices in Spokane, Eastern Washington, and North Idaho. These local contacts play a major role in helping you win disability benefits.

While it’s important for your lawyer to know local professionals, it’s also important for your attorney to know you. Our attorneys will meet with you before your disability hearing to learn about your disability case and to get to know you. To fully understand your situation, we will learn how your physical and/or mental conditions impact your life. The more they know about you and your case, the better they can present your case and answer any questions the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) may ask.

Winning Social Security Disability benefits may be life-changing for you. The last thing you want is a national representative who may not be an attorney showing up and meeting you for the first time on the day of your hearing.

Choose an experienced local disability attorney to represent you. Call our office today to discuss your claim for disability benefits.

You Only Have 60 Days!
Once you’re denied benefits, the clock starts ticking. You only have 60 days to appeal. Don’t wait too long to contact a lawyer. You can miss the deadline to appeal.
