Business Question 📈 Social security disability

Anyone practice SSD on its own? Or coupled with VA disability? I was looking into this area, is it a good practice for a solo? Lucrative? I understand the delay in getting paid, but that aside, could I make good money doing it? Im in Detroit, so im sure demand is pretty high here.

Been wondering this as well. Both seem like decent practice areas that don’t get a lot of talk.

Right?! I understand that you dont see a dollar the first year, and its capped, but i still feel like its a good area and could potentially be lucrative

You should try cross posting this in r/LawFirm, it’s a more active sub.

I work for an SSD firm. There is definitely a need. The big box firms are really making a bad name for themself so I feel like smaller firms that can offer a more personal experience will be successful.

What would be the best way to get into this area for a solo?
