Please understand that the Amputee Coalition cannot and does not make specific recommendations for products or services, but can only suggest possible sources, with no endorsement implied.

Amputee Coalition therefore does not maintain a list of lawyers specializing in disability-related cases. The following Internet search engines can help you find lawyers near you who deal with Social Security Disability or similar issues. You can then contact these professionals to ask about their experience and specialties.

The American Bar Association (ABA) has a Lawyer Locator service on their Website.

• Select your state.
• On the page for your state, select “Lawyer Referral.”
