Kentucky Lawyer Makes Millions Getting Applicants on Social Security Disability
[From article]
In 1960, fewer than 500,000 people received disability payments. Now, the Social Security Administration disability program pays benefits to 12 million people.
[. . .]
Conn got $3.9 million in fees in 2010 alone, when he was the third-highest-paid disability lawyer in the country.
So who are number one and number two? What did they focus on number three?Is he the Republican?
[. . .]
Eric Conn's legal fate is unknown. He is being sued for fraud, and he refused to testify at a recent Senate hearing. In the spirit of George Plunkitt, he seen his opportunities and he took them. Those opportunities came courtesy of the heedlessness of the contemporary welfare state.
