Hi. I’m Lew Insler from Insler & Hermann. In this video we’re going to talk about what your attorney will do for you as you retain him to handle your social security disability case. People who receive social security disability are often receiving other benefits, and one of the most important things we do for you, is explain how those benefits relate to each other. You may be getting long-term disability; you may be getting a pension from your employer or from your union. You’re getting Medicare or Medicaid, you may be getting workers compensation. We are well versed and well able to explain the individual benefit relationships that apply to your case. Once your hearing is scheduled, we’re going to meet with you and prepare you for your hearing. We’ll go through the hearing in general, and then case by case, and we’ll talk a little bit about the particular judge that’s handling your case, because we know the judges, and we know the questions that they’re going to be asking you. If there are any expert witnesses at your hearing, we’ll be preparing to cross-examine them based on what we know about your case and your medical records. In addition to being with you at the hearing, getting you ready for the hearing, both before and after the hearing, we may have to file memorandums with the judges.  If we’re not successful at the hearing, we will file an appeal, and we also will determine whether or not a new claim should be filed, sometimes in addition to the claim that we’re appealing, sometimes instead of appealing.
