Attorney fees on all disability claims (whether for SSDI or SSI) are contingent upon winning the claim.  That means that if you don’t win your claim, then there are ZERO attorney fees.  If your claim is granted, then Social Security sets fees as the LESSER of 25% of past-due benefits or $6,000, while all monthly benefits go just to you.  As an example, if we win your claim and get you $8,000 in past-due benefits, then the attorney fee would be $2,000, and you get $6,000, plus all monthly benefits go 100% to you.  If we help you win your claim and get you $40,000 in past-due benefits, then the attorney fee is capped at $6,000, you would get $34,000, and all monthly benefits go 100% to you.
