At Schneider Law Offices, we know the law, and we know how to prepare cases for hearing. Our staff and attorneys solidify cases by obtaining medical records as well as statements from doctors and witnesses. Because our firm has tried thousands of Social Security cases, we also know how to present the case to the administrative law judge (ALJ). Most cases taken to hearing are won there. Cases that are denied after a hearing can be appealed to the Social Security Appeals Council. If lost at the Appeals Council, they can be appealed to the United States District Court and the United States Court of Appeals. Schneider Law Offices does many such appeals and many of those clients ultimately receive benefits. All Social Security fees are contingent, regulated by the Social Security Administration and subject to approval by the Social Security Administration. Generally fees are limited to 25% of past due benefits with a $6000 cap. If you don't get benefits there is no fee. Merrill Schneider is the firm's principal. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1973 and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Oregon in 1977. He was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 1977 and has practiced law full time since. Mr. Schneider's entire career has been spent litigating cases. He has personally tried thousands of Social Security, Worker's Compensation and Personal Injury cases and has managed and participated in the preparation of many thousands more. His skill, his astuteness with respect to legal issues and human nature, and his determination and drive cause him and the firm to be very highly regarded in the legal community. Rather than focusing on a few big cases, he has focused the firm's practice on helping as many people as they can. Nothing is more rewarding for him than a thank you from a client.
