Below you will find a link to the NOLO website with a helpful page about knowing when to hire a disability attorney. With the way many of these policies are written, there are many hoops that the insured has to jump through, and it can often be hard to determine at what point in the process it may be necessary to bring in an attorney to advocate for your interest. This guide will be helpful in guiding you through the process and helping you to decide if it is time to bring in an attorney. Remember, it is important that you consult with an attorney before the case gets to the point where it may be difficult for an attorney to undo things that have previously been done. Here at Cody Allison and Associates, we stand ready to help you, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have about the process. Give us a call!
