How we match your Nashua social security disability case
When you submit a Nashua social security disability matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.
Case type
A social security disability matter needs someone who handles social security disability work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.
Size and complexity
Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.
Federal jurisdiction
This is federal law, so an attorney does not need to be licensed in New Hampshire to represent you — but they do need to know how your local office and courts handle these cases.
Capacity and fit
Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.
Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.
DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Sample settlement statement
New Hampshire · Social Security Disability
Illustrative only. Your fee terms are set in a written agreement with your attorney and may include costs and expenses regardless of outcome.
Most New Hampshire social security disability attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.
Federal law caps SSDI/SSI attorney fees at 25% of past-due benefits, with a hard maximum of $9,200 (effective Nov 2024, adjusts with the cost-of-living). SSA must approve every fee agreement. You pay nothing out of pocket and nothing from your ongoing monthly benefit — the fee comes only from back pay, and only if you win. If there is no back pay, there is no fee.
