This is part one of a three part interview I conducted with attorney Bryan Konoski. Bryan is a Social Security disability attorney whose practice focuses on Appeals Council and Federal District Court work.
The appellate work that Bryan does is very different than disability application and administrative law judge hearing work. With very rare exception Bryan is not presenting new evidence of disability to a judge. Instead, he is identifying errors of analysis made by hearing judges who have denied a claim.
Because hearing judges are so busy, and because the SSA uses such a bizarre procedure to produce hearing decisions (the actual decision is prepared by a staff writer who was not present at the hearing) many hearing decisions contains significant errors of analysis.
In our conversation Bryan strongly encourages anyone who has been denied by an administrative law judge to have that unfavorable decision reviewed by an attorney who regularly handles post ALJ hearing work.
Many disability attorneys or non-attorney reps do not routinely handle Appeals Council and Federal Court work and Bryan has positioned himself as an excellent resource for the Social Security disability claimant's bar. Like hearing attorneys, however, Bryan's firm handles cases under a "no fee unless you win" contingency fee contract there is no downside to having an appellate attorney review your case file.
In this part of our discussion Bryan and I identify some of the most common errors made by hearing judges that can result in a remand (a new hearing). And statistically a high percentage of remanded cases are approved in a second hearing.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
