At Atticus, our golden rule is simple: we’ll never connect a client with a lawyer we wouldn’t trust with our own family member or loved one—and we truly mean it.

Below are stories featuring Atticus employees who’ve helped a loved one apply for disability benefits.

Chris Best, Head of Talent at Atticus, helped his father navigate a workers’ compensation claim with Atticus’s support.

Iris Soto, a Client Experience Manager at Atticus, helped her mother apply for Social Security Disability Insurance with help from the team.

About Us

For Lawyers

At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.

There’s no disclaimer here: Atticus is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.

Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
