We invite you to schedule an appointment for a free consultation to discuss your claim. We have helped hundreds of people. We look forward to helping you.

Know that certain limits apply to SSD & SSI claims. People with good claims lose benefits for missing a deadline. So call promptly when you receive a notice denying benefits.

ATTORNEY FEES

If you win without going to Federal District Court.

Fees are 25%, with a maximum fee cap of $5,300.00, of any past due benefits if you win your case at a hearing without proceeding to Federal District Court.

In the rare situation where your recovery does not result in past due benefits, Ms. Gabin may petition for a fee of $1,500, to be withheld from your prospective benefits.

If you go 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 $5,300.

If you receive a remand for payment, 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 can afford to reimburse her.
