How much does Compass Disability charge?
Compass Disability is always 100% free. We'll answer your questions, evaluate whether you need legal help, and recommend a lawyer who's the best fit. If you hire a firm, you still pay nothing upfront — your lawyer takes a fixed percentage of your payout only if you win. If they lose, you pay nothing.
What if I can't afford a lawyer?
We believe everyone should be able to access the legal help they need. None of the lawyers we work with charges anything upfront. If you work with a lawyer we match you with, they'll be paid a percentage of your final payout, capped by federal law at 25% (max $7,200). You get top-tier legal help without ever seeing a bill.
What happens after I finish the online quiz?
One of our client advocates will review the details of your claim and reach out by phone or SMS. They'll answer your questions, explain your options, and connect you with the right lawyer for your situation. We'll stay in your corner throughout the entire process.
