I had a hard time finding someone who would take my friend's case too. (Cripplingly severe social anxiety that nine years of therapy had not helped.) I had to call about 8 places. The guy who took the job was not a "place," not a firm where they are trying to maximize profits by taking "easy" cases. He was a bit of a maverick, I suppose, and he really went the extra mile for a case that he ended up making very little on if you figure it hourly. Our case was hard not because it was "weak," but because my friend is so ill that the phone is impossible for him, so everything had to go thru me or email. Very arduous. I would encourage you to just keep calling people until someone says yes. I don't know what "no grounds to stand on" means when you have a recognized disability. You will need evidence that you've gotten therapy, that you have a severe stutter....all of that. I am not sure if they will insist you currently be seeing a therapist? They did with my friend, but stuttering hopefully is different. Someone on this sub got it, as came up in your earlier thread, so it cannot be that you have no grounds to stand on. That was likely his/her way to just get rid of you. Oh God, I can feel the frustration of this whole damn thing just writing this. If you can, just call every disability attorney in your state until someone says yes? I say your state cause there are slight differences state to state -- you might get part of the benefit from the state -- and you may never have to physically meet with the person, so it doesn't really matter if they are far away if you live in a huge state. I never met my friend's lawyer; neither did he. And our thing took half of forever. But that is because there were so many logistical difficulties (way beyond what I'm saying...it would take my friend weeks and weeks to fill out forms from the terror of the whole thing...etc.). Your case won't be like that.
