Convincing a Judge You Are Disabled in Fort Worth
Have your initial Social Security Disability (SSD) claims and requests for reconsideration been denied? The next step is a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). This is a crucial stage in the process because it allows you to state your case in person, telling the judge about your condition and how it is keeping you from working.
At the law firm of Coats & Todd, our attorneys have more than 40 years of experience helping clients with the ALJ hearing process and other SSD issues. We provide knowledgeable legal counsel to clients from Fort Worth, throughout Texas and nationwide.

Texas Social Security Hearing Lawyers
How can you achieve success during the administrative law judge process? Preparing thoroughly for the hearing is important. Our lawyers will guide you through every step of the process, preparing you for the questions you may face from the judge and advising you on successful strategies.
Whether you are being treated at North Hills Hospital, Kindred Hospital, Harris Methodist or another area hospital, we can give you important information about working with your doctor and other SSDI issues. We will work with your doctors to compile medical evidence to present to the ALJ and, in some cases, call upon medical experts to testify. We know what evidence judges are looking for and how to present it in a compelling fashion.
The Next Steps
You can expect to hear the ruling from the ALJ in writing within 90 days after the hearing. If your request is granted, you should begin receiving SSD benefits in two to four months. If not, we can continue helping you through the appeals process.
