Denied SSD

Saturday I received my denial for my SS Disability. I have been denied 2 times then got an attorney and had the hearing Nov 2, 2010. I hate it when things are sent on Saturday when no one is in the office. I sent my lawyer an E-mail.
My SSD was taken from me on 1997 so I had to prove I was still disabiled 1997-2002. That made it more difficult. They didn't care about today but then. The judge did say he didn't see any records from me going ot a clinic because I haven't had insurance for a year.
Lawyers for SSD/SSI don't do much usually but sit back and get the 25% if the person wins. I am thinking of dismissing my lawyer and fighting this myself. I have heard it will go to KY and they will look it over. I am still in shock.
