How We Help You Win Your Disability Claim
The rules for proving disability are strict, and one mistake on your paperwork can result in a denial. We guide you through every step of the process for both major Social Security programs.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
SSDI is designed for individuals with a solid work history over the past 5 to 10 years who can no longer maintain employment due to a severe medical condition. If you paid into the system through FICA taxes, we will help you claim the benefits you earned.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI provides essential financial assistance to disabled adults and children with limited income and few resources. In Texas, being approved for SSI also means automatic eligibility for Medicaid.
Appeals for Denied Claims
Did you know that the majority of initial disability claims are denied by the government? Do not give up. We step in to handle the complex appeals paperwork, gather vital medical evidence, and represent you before a judge.
Medical Conditions We Cover
The SSA maintains a strict "Blue Book" of impairments, but you do not need an exact match to win. We frequently represent clients (especially those over 50) who can no longer perform heavy manual labor due to:
- Mental Health (Secondary): While conditions like anxiety are difficult to win as standalone primary claims, we successfully claim severe depression, PTSD, and intellectual disabilities as powerful secondary conditions alongside a primary physical impairment.
- Physical Impairments (Primary): Musculoskeletal disorders (severe back injuries, arthritis), cardiovascular conditions (heart failure), neurological disorders (stroke recovery, TBI, neuropathy), and respiratory illnesses (COPD).
Lives We've Changed
Do not just take our word for it. Hear from clients across Texas who trusted us with their future after the system turned them away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire an SSDI/SSI disability lawyer in Texas?
Our firm operates on a strict "No Fee Unless We Win" basis (contingency fee). Our fee is regulated by federal law and is paid only from your back pay if we successfully win your case. If we lose, you owe us nothing—we do not even charge you for administrative fees.
What should I do if my disability claim was already denied?
Do not panic, and do not file a brand-new application from scratch. The vast majority of initial applications are denied. Contact us immediately—you have a limited window (usually 60 days) to file an appeal, and we can take over the entire process for you.
Will you help me fill out the medical and work forms?
Yes. Unlike many large law firms that require clients to fill out paperwork themselves, we pride ourselves on a hands-on approach. We sit down with you to help accurately complete the Work History Report and Function Report, as mistakes on these forms are a leading cause of claim denials.
How long does the disability appeal process take in Texas?
The process can be lengthy, ranging from several months to over a year if an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing is required. This is why it is critical to hire an experienced attorney early on to avoid unnecessary delays caused by improperly filed paperwork.
