The attorney follows up with Social Security to determine what the status of the claim is and when it will be decided. Finally, the attorney points out the various legal theories and arguments that would support the claim at Social Security. After the case has been scheduled for a hearing, the attorney prepares a legal brief summarizing the medical evidence and making various legal arguments that would support an award of benefits. The attorney also prepares the client for the hearing in advance of the hearing so he/she knows what questions will be asked, what the atmosphere at the hearing is, what the attitude of this particular judge is, what additional issues need to be resolved before the hearing is conducted and what the chances of success are along with the expected financial recovery if successful. The attorney can also answer questions regarding medical insurance through Social Security, benefits for children and so forth.     For a Free Evaluation from Michael J. Mooney, Ohio disability lawyers, click here.   Back to FAQs   Name*: E-mail*: Phone: Your claim or Questions:          FAQs 11.  How much experience do you have with Social Security Disability cases? 12.
