ATTORNEY FEES

If you win without going to Federal District Court

Fees are 25% of past due benefits with a maximum fee cap of $6,000.00 (or the statutory cap in effect on the date of the decision awarding benefits) if you win your case at a hearing without proceeding to Federal District Court.

If Your Case goes to Federal District Court

If your case goes to Federal District Court, and if you receive a remand for rehearing, Ms. Gabin will request a Fee for her Federal Court time to be paid by the government. If she wins at a rehearing, your fee is 25% of past due benefits with a fee cap of $6,000 (or the statutory cap in effect on the date of the decision awarding benefits).

If you receive a remand for payment of your benefits, Ms. Gabin will request a fee for her Federal Court time, to be paid by the government. She will also request a full 25% of your past due benefits without a cap, offset by any fee she receives from the government.

COSTS

In nearly all cases, Ms. Gabin will incur out–of–pocket costs. These are not attorney fees, but are fees for such things as medical record duplicating charges, attorney/doctor conferences and treating doctor medical reports.

Ms. Gabin incurs these expenses only when necessary to prepare properly. Ms. Gabin is bound to follow Oregon State Bar ethical rules that require the client to assume responsibility for these costs if the client is able to pay. Therefore, she will bill for these costs but will not expect payment unless you can afford to reimburse her.
