Search for Local Disability Attorneys

Start by looking for attorneys who specifically handle SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases in Minnesota.

• Use online directories or the Minnesota State Bar Association’s lawyer referral service.
• Check client reviews and success rates in handling disability claims.

Schedule a Free Consultation

Most disability attorneys offer free initial consultations, either in person, by phone, or via video call. This meeting allows you to:

• Explain your case and medical background
• Learn about the attorney’s experience with SSDI cases in Minnesota
• Understand their fee structure (most work on contingency, meaning they only get paid if you win)

Gather Your Case Information

Before contacting an attorney, prepare the following:

• Your SSDI or SSI application (if already submitted)
• Any denial letters from the SSA
• Medical records, test results, and doctor statements
• Work history and income documentation

This helps the attorney assess your case more efficiently.

Minnesota-Specific Considerations

Minnesota residents should look for attorneys familiar with local SSA offices and regional hearing offices, such as those in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth. This local knowledge can be an advantage in navigating case procedures and timelines.
