Two Big Game Changers: How ACRD’s National Hearing Network is Transforming Disability Representation



In the world of disability hearings, trust and fairness aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re non-negotiable. ACRD’s National Hearing Network is shaking up the way legal teams approach hearing coverage by removing the barriers that have long undermined both attorneys and their clients.


A Network Built on Trust

“The ability of a large firm to be able to trust that when they need somebody to step up in a particular time slot or a state where they can’t send a claimant’s rep or an attorney, to know that that person is a person who can do the job.” - Martin O'Malley

This core principle is at the heart of the National Hearing Network. When firms face last-minute scheduling conflicts or need a representative in another state, they no longer have to take a gamble on the quality of support. ACRD’s platform ensures they’re choosing experienced professionals who deliver results, not just fill a seat.


Fair Pricing Without the Middleman

“They’re not going to be gouged by a middleman temp agency… and they’re not going to have their own reputation damaged by being given a sloppy file where they can’t get the results that the claimant deserves.” - Martin O'Malley

By cutting out expensive intermediaries, the National Hearing Network empowers attorneys and representatives to set their own prices and terms. This transparent approach guarantees that the focus stays on clients, not on hidden fees or subpar work.


A Win for Lawyers and Clients Alike

Beyond trust and cost savings, the platform protects the integrity of every case. When a lawyer refers a client through the network, they gain peace of mind knowing that their reputation and their client’s future are in safe hands.

ACRD’s National Hearing Network is more than a convenience; it’s a commitment to quality, fairness, and professional excellence in disability representation.
