Yup, you're lawyer should be a hired pitbull. That's what they should be trained for, BUT you don't want them ticking off the judge, or in your case for disability, you'd be going in front of an ALJ (administrative law judge) who is - yes, I hate to say it - employed and paid by the government. And if this is the first disability lawyer you're going to, you get to feel him out as much as they're feeling you out about your case. Feel free to consult with another one or two disability lawyers because you're basically interviewing them to see how they can fight for you. If anything doesn't feel right after talking with the lawyer, definitely see if there's another one that can be recommended by others that you know. I kinda wished I had done a little more research on disability lawyers in the area myself but the one I went to first was highly recommended which doesn't always translate to being a good fit, and I've been there.

Hope some good magic happens when you do go in to talk with someone! Best always and all ways...
