I, too, was in the minority and got approval on my first application. You can go to the SSDI website, print out the forms and work on them on your own or hire a lawyer. I did the whole process myself and the only factor which delayed my approval was that my therapist was in South America at the time I applied. As soon as she returned and completed the required documents, I was approved. This only took two months.
I'm not recommending this to everyone, but if you feel capable of doing the paperwork, you CAN succeed.
My life has changed significantly and I'm very thankful to the folks in my SSDI region who helped me along the way. They are NOT the 'monsters' some people make them out to be! At least in my case. My age was also a major factor (late 50's), I believe. If you're young, the lawyer may be your best choice and advocate.
Hope all goes well for you!
