Disability denial - finding legal support

Hello, I am age 64, diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. I did go on regular Social Security recently.

We were encouraged to apply for the SSDI - as I am no longer able to work in my field - and also am declining in my ability to remember complex details and instructions.

SSDI denied the claim, which we want to appeal - I understand this is common.

Seeking legal help on that front - but haven't found anything in this forum offering a good referral to an attorney who offers reasonable terms and can get this done in State of Colorado.

Thank you,

Lisa
