The lawyer does work on a contingency basis. I used Allsup, a very large firm that works across the country- a paralegal called, asked as many questions as she could over the phone; sent forms to my pdoc, psychologist, hospital, and spouse. ONE MONTH later she told me I had been approved, about 3 weeks after that the SSDI office informed me and I had to go (or my representative) to the office with birth certificate and social security card. Since I signed up for auto payment in my checking account a big chunk of money showed up in a couple of days, then I wrote a check to Allsup for $4000 and my monthly payments started the next month. I just had my reevaluation (4-5? years after first approval), they approved with a letter from my shrink and husband- that was all (took about 2 weeks) Best of luck- Judy
