How did your attorney handle your case before your 1st hearing?

[Holly_Hobby]

After my initial denial by SS, I hired an attorney to file the appeal. In a year and a half since then, I heard nothing from them, got no advice, except for signing forms through the mail. The only time I've heard from them is on Monday, a week before my hearing. It was a 10 min. phone call basically telling me not to lie.

I'm curious what advice your attorneys gave you before your first hearing after you hired them. There's nothing I can do about it now, just curious. Thanks so much.
