And if so, if you needed to use a legal aid attorney to help you appeal for disability - would they really be on your side or the states?
Answers:
Legal Aid does not work the for the State. However, public defender's do. Public defenders are still expected to be adversarial to the government because they are evaluated on a different set of criteria.
Because of their code of ethics, even a government attorney should look out for his client's (i.e. YOUR) best interst.
In any case, you should be confident that a Legal Aid attorney, though they may not have much to offer in the way of resources, will definitely be on your side and will be a wonderful resource to help you file a claim for disability.
I think they all work together ! I would hire a private attorney for your appeal. They take 25% out of your money when you get your back pay. Worth it,I am sure. Good luck !
No, Legal Aid is a private entity, although many Legal Aid organizations qualify for government grants.
