STANDARD FEE AGREEMENT
STANDARD FEE AGREEMENT
SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY/SSI
ATTORNEY’S FEE: I employ, Amy G. Bellhorn, to represent me before the Social Security Administration in my Social Security Disability case, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) case or both. If I win, I agree that my attorney’s fee will be the lesser of 25% of all past-due benefits awarded to my family and me, or the dollar amount established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sec. 406(a)(2)(A), which is currently $6,000.00 (as of June 22, 2009, and was $5,300 prior to that time), but which may be increased from time to time by the Commissioner of Social Security. If I do not win benefits, then my attorney gets no attorney fee, but the attorney fee does not include out-of-pocket expenses (please see below).
I WILL PAY EXPENSES: In addition to the attorney’s fee, I agree to pay my attorney for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. An expense is money which must be paid out-of-pocket in order to proceed with a case. These expenses may include but are not limited to the following: long-distance telephone calls, obtaining copies of medical records, doctor examinations, postage, photocopying, and travel expenses. Client agrees to reimburse Attorney for any out-of-pocket expenses which are incurred in representing the Client whether we win or lose. In a case in which I get benefits, I agree to pay my attorney back for these expenses after (within 10 days) receiving my lump sum or first installment check for past-due benefits.
APPEAL: Should the Client desire to take an appeal of this case to a federal court, the attorney and client will have to come to a separate agreement concerning attorney fees for services. In addition, I agree that if an unfavorable decision is reached on my case that Attorney and Client will discuss representation to appeal the case. If at any time my attorney determines that there is not sufficient merit to continue with the appeal, she will advise me of the need to withdraw from representing me in this case.
I HAVE NOT BEEN PROMISED THAT I WILL WIN: My attorney promised she will do her best to help me; however, she did not promise me that I will win. I promise to update my contact information with my attorney at least 3 days after it changes.
I accept and approve this agreement: ______ day of ____________, 20___.
