If it were called Cancer, then you would be my friend. If it were called the flu then you would help me get better. But since its bipolar I stand alone.

So most lawyers aren't going to take a care unless they think you can win. They don't want to work for free. My SO just had is hearing a few weeks ago. The biggest advise his lawyer said was to be honest. Don't minimize your symptoms but don't exagerate either. Good luck at your hearing! Previous discussions I participated in: When is your birthday?
