Declaration of Leroy Knarr
I, Leroy Knarr, agree that any Equal Access to Justice Act fees awarded in my federal
Social Security disability case should be paid directly to my attorneys, Schneider Law
Offices, as payment of their fee for representing me before the u.S. District Court in this
matter (CV # ii: \ \ -0001)·00. I understand that there is a chance the amount of the
EAJA fees will be taxable to me.
