I was just offering my opinion, which last time I checked, was okay to do, that I would wait until I was denied before I hired an attorney to try to avoid fees if possible. It's just an opinion, and I don't think one that needs to be singled out or attacked.

I'm kind of wondering exactly what you do that you work with attorneys, especially since you seem to be misinformed. Yes, an attorney can get more than the 25% or 6000, but only if it's been appealed and approved. And, no, not all attorneys take money from every check every month, so that statement was "fuzzy." And Rose76 was simply stating her opinion. Yes, stating an opinion is allowed. But not just for you.
