I was raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I played flute in my high school band, rode & showed a family friend's Arabian horse, and somehow survived my hair and fashion choices of the 80s.

I was raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I played flute in my high school band, rode & showed a family friend's Arabian horse, and somehow survived my hair and fashion choices of the 80s.
I then attended Texas A&M University in College Station for my undergraduate degree and all of the enriching non-academic "education" that being a Fightin' Texas Aggie involves. I helped build Bonfires. I sang in the Aggie Women's Chorus. I pledged a sorority. I spent my senior summer interning with the Walt Disney World College Program in Orlando, Florida.
In 1996 I moved to Austin where I spent the next ten years with companies including Dell , Four Seasons Hotels, and AT&T Wireless. I worked in sales, customer service, and tech support roles. Then, in a twist of fate that would change my future path, I took a job as a case manager for a local Social Security disability attorney.
It was this experience that revealed the prevalent need for Social Security disability claimant representation, and led me to attend Texas Wesleyan University School of Law in Ft. Worth-- now Texas A&M School of Law.
Since becoming licensed to practice in 2010, I have exclusively represented disability claimants through the SSA's administrative appeals process.
Outside of the office, I volunteer with an amazing therapeutic riding program for kids who face physical or developmental challenges, called "H.E.L.P." https://www.helpcenterofaustin.org/
I also love patio-time with friends, supporting Austin's live music scene, recharging at Barton Springs or Deep Eddy Pool, escaping periodically to a beach, and rescuing Weimaraners.

Navigating the Social Security Administration disability process alone can be confusing, overwhelming, and exhausting. Especially when you are dealing with your own catastrophic health problems at the same time!
For many reasons, filing for SSA disability or SSI without a representative can feel like playing a frustrating, cruel game where you really don't understand the rules, but where the outcome will seriously affect your life!
SSA has its own terms and criteria for what constitutes "disabled" under its regulations. There are also non-medical technicalities affecting whether or not a person can file a claim with the SSA, regardless of their health.
For example, before considering your medical limitations, first SSA will examine if you are currently working, and if so, are you demonstrating the ability to do what SSA calls "substantial gainful activity". (See: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/sga.html )
If you are grossing above this monthly amount in a current job, then despite the fact that you may struggle with difficult health issues, with few exceptions, SSA cannot find you "disabled."
This is quite different from what a private long or short term disability policy may call "disabled" in their policies, and it is also very different from how the Veterans Administration assesses "disability" benefits due to those who became permanently debilitated through their military service.
While each claim is different, the entire SSA process-- which can involve several levels of denials, appeals, and eventually a hearing before an administrative law judge-- can often take over two years. For many people, this is simply more than they have the energy to cope with on their own. An experienced representative can help to lift this weight off of your shoulders.

There are many options available when seeking a SSA disability claim representative. Everyone should choose what makes them feel comfortable.

There are many options available when seeking a SSA disability claim representative. Everyone should choose what makes them feel comfortable. But one of the biggest concerns I hear from new clients is that, while big firms have big resources & ad budgets, many people don't want to feel like just a file number with a large, impersonal corporation. For years before law school, I worked at that kind of company. I completely understand.
So when I represent someone, they work directly with me. I (or my personal assistant) will personally keep you updated with not just your claim's status, but also with what to expect, through every stage of the appeals process.
If you have been denied for Social Security disability in Austin, Waco, San Angelo, Bryan/College Station, Houston, San Antonio or any of their surrounding areas, contact me for a free initial phone consultation.
While I cannot represent every claimant I meet, or promise anyone a particular result, if I represent you in your claim, I will deal (as much as possible) with the SSA, so you can focus on your health and your family .
After more than 10 years experience helping disabled Texans win approval for their benefits, I know firsthand how disadvantaged an unrepresented claimant can be.
Why go through this alone?
Attorney fees are 100% contingent upon being approved for your benefits, so there is no risk or up-front costs to you, of any kind.
Let's discuss your situation!
