Houston Disability Lawyer

In Houston, 6.5% of the population under the age of 65 live with a disability. Some of these individuals may qualify for disability benefits if their condition is severe enough to prevent them from working. There are several different types of benefits available: Social Security Disability benefits are intended for those who are unable to work for a period of 12 months or longer, and many group benefit plans include short term and long term disability insurance. The Ortiz Law Firm represents claimants in Social Security disability and disability insurance claims. Mr. Ortiz is even licensed to practice in the state of Texas, so you can seek quality representation without being restricted to the attorneys with an office in your local area.

Ortiz Law Firm Handles Long Term Disability Claims in Houston, Texas

We often receive calls from claimants in the great state of Texas. The most common question we receive is, “Can I hire you even though you are not in Texas?”

The answer is yes! Nick Ortiz is admitted as a licensed attorney to the Texas Bar! Mr. Ortiz and the experienced legal team at Ortiz Law Firm can represent individuals anywhere in Texas – in fact, anywhere in the United States and anywhere internationally, and we’ll explain to you why.

We Represent Long Term Disability Claimants Nationwide

Ortiz Law Firm is based primarily in Pensacola, Florida, but because most group plans are governed by ERISA, Nick Ortiz can handle a case anywhere in the United States. In fact, he has represented claimants from most states in the U.S.

In terms of communicating with you, we use an electronic signature service for a lot of the correspondence, and then we e-mail and fax and communicate by phone, so everything can be done by mail, fax, and e-mail.

Most major insurance companies insure individuals nationwide. As such, you can typically submit an application for benefits or appeal a denial via mail, e-mail, and facsimile.

If it is necessary to file a lawsuit, most long term disability cases (not all, but most) are governed by a federal regulation called ERISA. Under ERISA, you do not have the right to a jury trial, and in most cases, you do not have the right to engage in extensive discovery. At the end of the day, that means most of the case is paper-driven, involving a lot of brief writing and a lot of correspondence by mail. There are very few court appearances required, and as a result, we can handle a federal court case anywhere in Texas.
