Bossier City Social Security Disability Law Firm
Overview
At the law offices of William R. Long, Attorney at Law, people who have been injured on the job or who have become disabled find information, help and advocacy. Louisiana residents often contact us when they are having difficulty obtaining workers' compensation benefits they are eligible for. Others bring their Social Security Disability denials to our attention and ask if we can appeal the decision of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Helping people and making a positive difference in their lives is the motto and the mode of operation in day-to-day law practice at the law offices of William R. Long, Attorney at Law. An injured or disabled worker often feels at the mercy of "the system." At this law firm, we regularly break through barriers on behalf of our clients who have encountered difficulties when dealing with insurers and government agencies.
Whatever the nature of a workplace injury or disability claim, we aim to protect clients' rights and best interests. In every case, we apply extensive knowledge accumulated over more than 25 years of experience in the Shreveport-Bossier City metro area. If a workers' compensation insurer delays or reduces benefits without good reason, we respond with skillful advocacy. If the SSA puts up surmountable roadblocks to approval, lawyer William R. Long can prepare compelling testimony to present at administrative appeals and, if necessary, in court. We have a long history of achieving results, including thousands of approvals for clients whose claims were previously denied or delayed.
Initial consultations are free, and we represent clients on a contingency basis. Attorney fees are not due until indemnity benefits are paid by the compensation insurer or past due benefits are paid by the SSA.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
