Comprehensive Social Security Disability Representation
From initial applications to federal court appeals, we handle every stage of the Social Security disability process for Houston-area residents.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
SSDI is a federal insurance program that provides monthly benefits to workers who have become disabled and can no longer perform substantial gainful activity. To qualify, you must have worked long enough and recently enough to have earned sufficient work credits.
The SSA uses a strict five-step evaluation process to determine eligibility. Many deserving applicants are denied at the initial stage due to incomplete medical documentation, procedural errors, or misclassification of their ability to work. Our attorneys know exactly how to present your case to maximize your chances of approval.

- Gathering and organizing medical evidence
- Responding to SSA requests for information
- Representation at ALJ hearings in Houston
- Appeals Council and federal court representation
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI is a needs-based program administered by the Social Security Administration that provides financial assistance to disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Unlike SSDI, SSI does not require a work history — making it available to disabled adults, children, and elderly individuals who have never worked.
Qualifying for SSI requires demonstrating both a qualifying disability and financial need. The rules around income and resource limits are complex, and many applicants are denied due to technical errors. Our attorneys help Houston families navigate these requirements effectively.
- SSI applications for adults and children
- Guidance on income and resource limits
- Childhood disability determinations
- Concurrent SSDI and SSI claims
- SSI appeals and reconsiderations
Disability Appeals
If your Social Security disability claim has been denied, you have the right to appeal. In fact, the majority of successful disability cases are won at the appeal stage — particularly at the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing level. Having an experienced attorney at your side dramatically increases your odds of success.
The Social Security appeals process has four levels: Reconsideration, ALJ Hearing, Appeals Council Review, and Federal District Court. We represent clients at every level and have successfully argued cases before federal judges in the Southern District of Texas.
- Request for Reconsideration (60-day deadline)
- ALJ Hearing preparation and representation
- Appeals Council Review submissions
- Federal District Court litigation
- Expedited hearings for terminal illness or dire need
