If attorneys were gods, they would work themselves out of business; but attorneys are not gods; therefore, there is much that an attorney can do. Such a syllogism may be rather self-evident. Attorneys are not gods; neither are they miracle workers. Not every issue can be handled by, or resolved through, an attorney.
Sometimes, the lay person can do the work him/herself without an attorney. At other times, the input of an attorney, however minimal, can be the difference between success or failure.
Here are some of the things a Federal Disability Attorney can do in a Federal Disability Retirement case: Focus and sharpen a case; cut out the irrelevancies; cite and apply the law; make the legal arguments which are current and applicable; streamline a case and make it clear and pointed; rebut an opponent’s argument by pointing out logical inconsistencies and mistaken applications of the law; provide a strategy and plan; give an objective account of one’s case.
There are many other aspects of any given case that a Federal Disability Retirement Attorney can be helpful with, but these generalities can provide you with a notion of what a good and effective attorney can do.
Contact an OPM Disability Retirement Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law and begin the process of putting together an effective Federal or Postal Disability Retirement application.
