STATE DISABILITY RETIREMENT
Start Receiving State Disability Retirement Benefits
You or someone you know may have spent a lot of years working for the state of Florida
and dutifully contributed towards your retirement. Now that you are in need of that money, you may be faced with a very confusing, difficult and frustrating process.
The attorneys at Proctor & Kole have each spent over 25 years helping disabled clients obtain their Regular Disability or In-Line-of-Duty Disability benefits under the Florida Retirement System. Our attorneys will help you obtain the benefits that you have been working so hard for all of these years.
Do I Need A Lawyer In My State Disability Retirement Case?
Having an attorney represent you in your state disability retirement case is not required. However, the state retirement system will have lawyers working against you trying to prevent you from obtaining your benefits. This will place you and your case at a disadvantage if you do not have an attorney fighting for your rights and best interests.
When Should I Hire A Lawyer In My State Disability Retirement Case?
The sooner, the better. We cannot count the number of disabled individuals who tried to obtain the necessary paperwork from their doctors and employer on their own and confidently submitted them to state retirement, thinking that they had won their case, only to learn that they were denied benefits because something was not completed correctly. Don't let this happen to you. Don't wait to be denied your state disability retirement benefits to hire a lawyer. Call our offices today to review your application with one of our attorneys before it's too late. The consultation is free.
How Does A Lawyer In A State Disability Retirement Claim Get Paid?
We do not get paid unless we obtain your state disability retirement benefits on your behalf. If we get you your benefits, we generally receive one third of the back benefits that you receive from state retirement. We would also ask that you reimburse us for the money that we spent on your case. Call the law offices of Proctor & Kole today to set an appointment to discuss this and your case in detail and how we can help you get your benefits.
