I don't disagree with you at all, Cheryl. In fact, that is why I scheduled a consultation with an attorney -- because I thought it couldn't hurt. I just didn't have good luck in finding one that I felt would provide much assistance prior to receiving a denial from SSA.

As I said in my previous post, though, if you are able to find an attorney that truly wants to help you to succeed in your claim quickly, it might be a good idea, because you might not have to push through denials and appeals if they can help you get approved the first time.

I still stand by what I said, though, that I believe that attorneys vary in the way they approach it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. It must be the way I worded my previous post.
