How ACRD’s National Hearing Network Puts Firms Back in Control

In disability hearings, trust isn’t optional; it’s essential. The stakes are too high to leave a client’s future in the hands of an unknown substitute. That’s why ACRD created the National Hearing Network, giving law firms a better option: the ability to choose a qualified attorney they know and trust to step in when they can’t be there themselves.

A Better Choice for Critical Moments

“National Hearing Network created by ACRD is going to give firms the ability to actually choose a qualified lawyer that they know and they trust to step in in those moments, those time slots where they can't send a claimant's rep or a claimant's lawyer.” - Martin O'Malley

When scheduling conflicts arise or hearings are held out of state, too many firms are forced to rely on last-minute, unfamiliar substitutes. These so-called solutions often feel like a gamble, and in a disability hearing, that gamble can cost clients dearly. ACRD’s platform changes that by making it simple to hand off cases only to trusted professionals who meet your standards.

No More Blind Dates with Temp Agencies

“Look, you put a lot of work into developing your client’s case. Don’t they deserve something better than a blind date with some temp agency at the last minute?” - Martin O'Malley

This sentiment is at the core of ACRD’s mission. By removing the middleman, the National Hearing Network puts law firms in control of who represents their clients, ensuring that expertise and trust take precedence over convenience. It’s about more than filling a seat; it’s about protecting the integrity of every case.

Building Trust into Every Hearing

The network isn’t just a tool for staffing; it’s a commitment to raising the standard of hearing representation. Attorneys and representatives can set their own terms, maintain professional control, and know their clients are in the hands of experienced advocates, not strangers.

With ACRD’s National Hearing Network, lawyers can focus on their clients’ success without the stress of last-minute compromises. For clients, it means continuity and confidence at one of the most important moments of their lives.
