Social Security Disability Lawyers in Bangor, ME

If you’re unable to work, we can help you get the benefits you need.

Applying for and receiving Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits can be a lengthy and complex process. Having a social security disability attorney at your side can make the process much less stressful. Because we can help manage paperwork, gather medical opinions, and organize witnesses for a hearing. If you are thinking of applying for Social Security Disability benefits and live in Bangor or the surrounding areas, schedule your free consultation with one of our Social Security Disability lawyers. McCue Law Office is here to be your advocate.

You are considered disabled under social security law if:

• You can no longer do the work you did before your disability.
• It is determined that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition.
• Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to eventually result in death.
• Your earnings average less than $1,220 a month.
• You have a medical condition that is on the Social Security Administration’s list of disability conditions.
• There are special situations, such as blind or low vision accommodations, being the worker’s widow or widower, benefits for disabled children, and more that we are happy to talk with you about in a free consultation.

Qualifying for Social Security Disability benefits is not something that can be easily accomplished by the average person. You must be disabled under the SSA requirements and file your paperwork correctly. At McCue Law Office, we have the experience to get you the benefits you deserve. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means there is no cost to meet with us.

Call our firm at (207) 421-9406 or reach out online to request a free initial consultation.

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance 

Applying for Social Security Disability benefits is often a frustrating and time-consuming process. Many applicants are overwhelmed by the paperwork, and even legitimate claims frequently get denied. Over 60% of applicants are denied benefits at the initial stage of the application, and over 80% of those who appeal are denied at the reconsideration level. Given those odds, having an experienced social security disability attorney or advocate to handle your application correctly from the start can be extremely beneficial.

When you first meet with your social security disability attorney, please bring all Social Security papers, which might include denial notices, decisions, and appeal forms. 

Additional information that will help the attorney and your case includes:

• Names, addresses, and phone numbers of the doctors you have seen
• A list of any prescription medication you are taking, which includes dosage and the name of the prescribing doctor.
• A list of your employment history over the preceding fifteen years, with a brief description of your job duties.
