Social Security Disability benefit claims involving the social security administration can drag on for months and take even years to resolve. Why is this the case? Mainly due to disability claim backlogs that exist in all states, including Georgia.
Another huge part of the problem with the federal disability system, of course, is the fact that most claims are denied. Nationally, about seven out of ten SSD and SSI claims for disability are denied at the basic application level. In the state of Georgia, about 72 percent of all initial disability claims are denied.
If you receive a denial on an initial claim for social security disability or SSI in the state of Georgia, or receive a denial on the first appeal you file (known as a reconsideration or review), then the chances are very high that you will need the assistance of an attorney or lawyer at a disability hearing (presided over by a federal administrative law judge) at some point.

Another means by which to locate a social security disability attorney or lawyer in Georgia for your legal needs, one means that is sometimes helpful--and underutilized--is by contacting your State's Bar Group. These organizations typically keep a statewide list of attorneys and their areas of practice (including bankruptcy law, divorce law, personal injury law, and traffic law)
Additionally, bar groups in Georgia can help potential clients find legal representation for their needs through the use of a lawyer locater program.
To go about locating good, experienced representation for your ssdi or ssi case---in addition to using the usual techniques such as looking through directories, relying on referrals, and, of course, conducting searches online---this is many times a beneficial option.
Though these offices are essentially just a means of referral, after gathering detailed information from you, they can, in some instances, assist you in finding a lawyer.
