She has been practicing disability law since 2013 and has guided hundreds of clients through the complex and often frustrating process of receiving the Social Security disability benefits that they need and deserve.

She meets directly with all potential clients, later for hearing preparation, and at other times as needed.
How CLIENTS PAY FOR THIS Service
Attorney fees in Social Security disability cases are paid on a contingency basis, which means Billie only gets paid if she is successful in helping you obtain your benefits. Attorney fees in Social Security Disability cases are regulated by the federal government and must be approved by SSA. The amount of the fee is currently 25% of the claimant’s back pay not to exceed a total fee of $6000.
