This podcast episode explores the concept of a no-drama hearing in Social Security Disability cases, aiming to minimize distress for clients and create a less stressful experience. It discusses the nature of disability hearings, the strategies employed by attorneys in obtaining medical records, building professional relationships with Administrative Law Judges (ALJs), the importance of pre-hearing preparation, being specific as a claimant during a hearing, managing expectations for the judge's decision, and the attorney's response to winning or losing a case. The episode concludes with an interview with Lisa McNair Palmer, a legal expert specializing in veterans and social security disability cases, who highlights the importance of electronic medical records and the wide jurisdiction coverage for her firm.
