Deadlines matter enormously in administrative law
Administrative matters often have short appeal deadlines — in some cases as little as 10 to 15 days from the date of the adverse decision. If you've received a denial notice, termination notice, or hearing notice, check the date on the document and contact us as soon as possible. Missed deadlines in administrative law are often fatal to the claim.
How pricing works for administrative hearings
Many administrative matters are priced as flat fees. Social Security and SSI appeals are handled on contingency (capped at the SSA maximum by federal law). DHS benefits hearings are frequently handled as part of our pro bono commitment. See our full pricing page.
