In this video, we break down the REAL advantages of having a lawyer or advocate at your SSDI/SSI ALJ hearing. Statistics from SSA reports and GAO studies show that claimants with representation are approved at rates nearly three times higher than those going it alone (some older data showed 64% vs. 40% approval). Don't risk your case—learn why professional help matters!

Key advantages covered:

• Expert handling of medical evidence & vocational expert cross-examination
• Avoiding common pitfalls that sink unrepresented claims
• Higher approval odds at the hearing stage (often 45-60%+ with rep vs. much lower without)
• No upfront fees—most work on contingency (paid only if you win)
