Firm Information
Overview
Your job is to take care of yourself and your health.
Mine is to deal with Social Security or your private insurer.
About 2,000,000 people apply for Social Security Disability Insurance or for SSI benefits a year. Over 60% are turned down. Private disability insurers are also reluctant to pay out for benefits, and often deny legitimate claims due to incomplete information, inexpertly completed applications, or just plain stubbornness.
I have over 25 years of experience with Social Security and private disability appeals, and have obtained benefits for 93% of the applicants I represent.
Insurance companies have large staffs dedicated to denying disability claims. You deserve to have an expert on your side.

Customer Reviews for Linden & Cottrell
-
Hired Law firm 2022Chuck Cottrell is an excellent disability attorney and I’m glad I hired him to represent me. I learned of Chuck through two good friends who strongly recommended him because he won both of their cases. I found Chuck and his legal assistant, Carla, to be very knowledgeable and strategic in all matters related to disability law and policies and procedures, which is precisely the expertise and representation I needed. Chuck was professional and expeditious in handling my case, and he filed an appeal on my behalf with SSA and won my case within one month of hiring him. If the need arises, I will surely seek Chuck’s counsel again, and I highly recommend him to any prospective client.

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.
