Most attorneys get paid on a contingency basis. They get paid only if you win and the standard amount is 25% of past due benefits not to exceed $5,300. There are exceptions were lawyers will file a fee petition for the time spent on the case but contingency fee agreement is by far the most common method of payment. If you find a lawyer on your own make sure to ask how many Social Security Disability cases he or she has handled. You will want someone who is experienced.
The fee that is charged by a disability representative is based on the amount of back pay that is won by a claimant. It is equal to 25 percent of whatever back pay a disability claimant is eligible to receive. However, it is also capped at a maximum fee amount, which is the very most a representative can receive regardless of how much back pay a claimant wins.
