Our experienced and compassionate attorneys will handle the details of documenting your disability. We will take your claim through all necessary appeals to pursue the benefits you need and deserve.

Social Security Disability
If you have been out of work for 12 months, or expect your disability to last that long; Social Security disability insurance (also called SSDI or SSD) provides monthly income. The amount of your benefits is based on how much you have paid into the Social Security system through payroll deductions.
See our Frequently Asked Questions and SSDI Information Center for more background about disability claims.
The lawyers of Coats & Todd are experienced in all disability cases, including hard-to-prove claims such as:
- Back and neck injuries
- Chronic pain or autoimmune disease
- Mental illness
- Severe diabetes
- Applicants under age 50
- Children's disabilities
We also take SSI cases and pursue claims for disabled widows/widowers and benefits for family members.
If you are facing eviction/foreclosure or other severe hardship because you can't work, we can appeal to Social Security to expedite your claim. Coats & Todd also guides clients to resources while your case is pending, such as free medical care and mental health clinics and the Texas Division of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS).
Real Lawyers, Not "Advocates"
Some law firms and nonprofit organizations assign a non-attorney to your case. At Coats & Todd, you have the advantage of direct representation by an actual attorney who is deeply immersed in disability law and who can represent you in court. (See Do I Need a Lawyer?)
You are not a "case" or a number to us — you are a person. Contact us today for personalized attention by lawyers who truly care. There is no fee for your initial consultation, and we take no attorney fees unless we qualify you for Social Security disability benefits.
