Fighting for Disability Benefits with Passion, Power, and a Backwards Hat

Michael Liner isn’t just a disability attorney he’s a force of nature in the fight for justice. As the founder of Liner Legal, a powerhouse law firm serving clients in all 50 states, Michael has helped thousands of clients nationwide win Social Security Disability benefits, securing billions of dollars in life changing outcomes.

For Michael, this work isn’t just about winning cases – it’s about impacting lives. His passion for disability advocacy stems from his own journey. As a child living with neurological impairments, epilepsy, and the experience of being expelled from a school for kids with behavior disorders, Michael understands what it feels like to be overlooked or underestimated. Instead of letting those experiences define him, he built a career centered around empowerment, inclusion, and unrelenting advocacy.

A Legal Strategy That Wins

Michael has represented clients at every level of the disability claim process from initial applications to Federal District Court appeals. His method is simple but effective:

  • Meticulous case preparation
  • Client coaching on building strong medical evidence
  • Tenacious cross examination of vocational and medical experts at hearings

His success is often summed up by the phrase:

“He doesn’t just practice disability law; he lives it, fights it, and wins it.”

The Backwards Hat, The Big Mission

Michael’s approach to disability law is as bold as his signature backwards hat. His signature backwards hat isn’t just a look it’s a symbol of his commitment to breaking down barriers and standing out for what’s right. He’s the creator of the Backwards Hat Gives Back Program, a nationwide initiative that reinvests proceeds from his social media platforms into nonprofit organizations supporting the disability community.

Through his TikTok account @Backwardshatbarrister, Michael breaks down disability law with clarity, humor, and heart making legal knowledge accessible to thousands across the U.S.
