I know that the attorney gets a percentage of the back pay, which is find, I know they have to make a living also. However, I guess he (attorney) has spent no more that 5 to 6 hours on my husbands case. I have done all of the work. I have gotten appointments for 2nd opinions, I have gotten the medical records, the attorney has not had to do hardly anything.
I guess I am just venting, and yes we do have a contract with him. During the reconsideration time, my husband receives a letter from his family practioner stating that he cannot be gainfully employed now or in the near future, and also the physican filled out the capacity form. I called the attorney and ask him if we could go ahead and forward them to allow this to be a part of the reconsideration, (reconsideration had just been done, 2 or 3 days prior) states no, it may confuse them. My opinion is: he would be losing money if they approved my husband during reconsideration as to waiting 2 or 3 months or maybe longer for a hearing date.
