Texas Social Security Hearing Lawyers
Your hearing with the administrative law judge is a valuable opportunity in the SSD appeals process. For the first time, you are able to present yourself as a real person who is in need of help and not just a number on a sheet of paper. It gives you the opportunity to tell the judge about your disability and how it is keeping you from performing your job duties.
Our lawyers will counsel you on successful strategies to take into your hearing. We know what type of testimony is likely to impact the decision of an ALJ. We will be there with you at the hearing, presenting evidence such as medical records and testimony from your doctor and family members.
Whether you are being treated at San Antonio State Hospital, Southwest General Hospital or another area hospital, we can provide you with valuable advice on working with your doctor and other SSDI topics.
You should receive a written decision from the ALJ within 90 days of your hearing. If successful, you can expect to receive SSD benefits in 60 to 120 days. If your claim is denied, there are other options. We can handle subsequent appeals including the appeals counsel and federal district court appeals.
