Working with a lawyer can improve your chances of a successful claim.
What Does a Social Security Disability Lawyer in Lake Charles Cost?
Social security disability lawyers in Louisiana typically work on a contingency fee basis. The fee is usually 25 percent of your back pay or a maximum of $7,200 whichever is less.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to appeal a social security disability denial in Louisiana?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal. This time limit is set by federal Social Security Administration rules and applies to all states including Louisiana. Missing this deadline can require you to start the entire application process over.
What is the average wait time for a disability hearing in Lake Charles?
The average wait time for a hearing in Louisiana is approximately 12 to 18 months from the date you request a hearing. The exact time depends on the current caseload of the administrative law judge assigned to your case. Lake Charles cases are typically heard in the New Orleans hearing office.
Can I work while my social security disability claim is pending in Louisiana?
You can work but your earnings must stay below the substantial gainful activity level which is $1,550 per month in 2024 for non-blind individuals. Working above this amount can hurt your claim. It is important to discuss any work activity with your lawyer before starting.
