Prior to contacting an attorney everyone should understand the limits on the fees they may charge. Here is a link to the most current information. Attorneys may claim 25% of the back benefits due but there is a limit that must not be exceeded. It is 25% or the current limit of $5,300 whichever is less. It is not 25% on any back benefits. http://www.ssa.gov/representation/info_fee_agreement2.htm Check it out to make sure the limits were not exceeded. Frank cg.
