What Does a Social Security Disability Lawyer in Livingston Cost?
Most social security disability lawyers in New Jersey work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and the lawyer is paid only if you win your case. The fee is typically 25 percent of your past-due benefits, capped at $7,200 (as of 2025) by federal law. Some lawyers may charge for costs like medical records or postage, but these are usually deducted from your award. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a social security disability lawyer in Livingston do?
A lawyer helps you prepare and file your disability application, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings. They also handle appeals if your claim is denied, including requests for reconsideration and hearings before an administrative law judge.
How long do I have to appeal a denied claim in New Jersey?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal. This deadline is strict and applies to both initial denials and denials after reconsideration. Missing the deadline may require you to start over.
What is the five-month waiting period for SSDI in New Jersey?
For SSDI benefits, there is a five-month waiting period after your disability onset date before you can receive payments. This rule is federal and applies to all states, including New Jersey. No benefits are paid during those first five months.
