WHERE IS YOUR DISABIITY REPRESENTATIVE LOCATED?

So, you have hired an attorney or advocate to represent you before Social Security?  Where is he or she located?

If you don't know, you are not alone.  Thousands of Social Security disability claimants have representatives, they just don't know where they are.

If you call one of those 800 numbers you see on late night TV commercials, you are probably calling Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York or some city that is 2,000 miles from Huntsville.  And they may never actually tell you where they are.  One thing is for sure, you will never meet them.

I am not saying that all of those guys do a bad job.  I'm asking, "Do you want someone handling your Social Security disability claim who is 2,000 miles away, whom you cannot hope to meet?  Do you want to meet your representative for the first time a few minutes before your hearing begins? 

Or do you want a qualified local representative who will meet with you face to face and handle your local claim from his local office?  The Forsythe Firm is located at 7027 Old Madison Pike NW in Huntsville.  We're directly across from Bridge Street.  You will meet us on day one when you have your first appointment.  Your local Forsythe Firm advocate will prepare your case, file your claim, keep your case updated, and handle any appeals or hearings that are needed.  We will be available to speak to you, on the phone or in our office face to face.  The representative who shows up at your hearing will be the same familiar person you have been dealing with all along.

There are a large number of reputable, well qualified attorney and non-attorney representatives in North Alabama.  They maintain local offices, local phone numbers and they are familiar with local judges who decide Social Security claims.  Of course, no judge will pay you just because he or she knows your representative!  However, there is an advantage to knowing how the judge operates, what his or her preferences are and how they run their hearings.

I think there is a lot to be said for not going 2,000 miles away to do business.  We'd love to work with you...right here at home.
