Attorney Referrals

If you have clients who are applying for Social Security Disability benefits, and you do not handle SSD on a regular basis, we would be very interested in working with you. Our attorneys have won more than 15,000 claims since 1980 and currently work with more than 100 law firms in Western New York. Our firm has been a been a sustaining member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives (NOSSCR) for more than 30 years.

Throughout the claims process we provide quarterly reports to the attorneys who refer cases to us. Upon the conclusion of the case we send a portion of the attorney's fee directly to the referring attorney, or to any charity he or she may designate. This is done with the client’s written consent and after full disclosure.

Why attorneys refer to us:

• Under the rules of attorney ethics, we pay competitive referral fees.
• We are willing to work with you under co-counsel arrangements.
• We provide quarterly reports to the attorneys who have referred cases to us.
• Our only interest is in helping your clients with SSD or SSI claims. We will not interfere with your attorney/client relationship.
• Our extensive experience in SSD and SSI means we can serve your clients efficiently and effectively.
• You can be updated on the status of a case at any time, either by email or by another method.
• Our client fees are limited to the 25 percent of past-due benefits or $6,000 (whichever is lower) set by Social Security.

It’s easy to refer a case to us:

• Tell your client you would like to refer them to Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law because we focus on SSD and SSI claims and have obtained benefits for more than 15,000 clients.
• Ask your client if you can share the information you have regarding his or her case with us, and ask him or her to call us as soon as possible at: 1-880-343-8537. When he or she calls he or she should give us your name as the referring attorney.
• You should also contact us with your client’s name, address, phone number(s), and any other pertinent information. We have a convenient online form to assist you in doing so.

Our responsibility:

We will attempt to make contact with your client within 24 hours of receiving your referral. We’ll also advise you regarding our ability to assist with the claim and give you confirmation regarding referral or co-counsel fees. You should know that the Social Security Administration currently has a backlog of cases, and at this time it typically takes almost two years to get a decision from an Administrative Law Judge. However, be assured we will keep you apprised of the status of your client’s claim throughout the process.

Please feel free to contact Jeffrey personally anytime at 716-856-7091 x220 or jeffrey@jeffreyfreedman.com. He will be happy to answer any questions you may have or to further discuss the referral process.
