Add Comment Question: Is it costly to hire a lawyer to help with disability insurance. I have worked and lived with my disability but it is getting harder but I'm still trying to keep working as long as it can. Answer: We usually work on contingency retainers - meaning that clients typically don't have to pay us our hourly-rate as we go, and instead we are paid out of the settlement/judgment monies at the end.
