Ortiz Law Firm is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Although the disability process is a long process, the Ortiz Law Firm was always there to help guide me along the way. While understanding that I am/was not their only client, they always got back to me on any issue I had. Tory Nelson was absolutely superb. Tory always returned my calls and e-mails and provided me with any information that I needed. Mr. Ortiz prepared me and represented me during my hearing. Class act all around. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

5 stars aren't enough for Nick Ortiz and his team. After being in an exhausting fight for 2 years, I found this team and I cannot find words enough to express how grateful I am. Every member of the team that I had contact with was kind, helpful, and professional. Communication was top-notch every step of the way. The help in preparing for the hearing was exceptionally thorough. Getting the news that my claim had been approved brought me to tears of profound relief. My gratitude to this firm will be lifelong. I would highly recommend choosing them to help you in your claim.

Victoria "Tory" Nelson, Paralegal, for Katherine Schwartz, Lawyer at Ortiz Law Firm was extremely helpful in explaining everything to us and guiding us through the process. We are grateful to Tory and Katherine for their very professional handling of our case. I definitely recommend them.

The Disability Academy was so helpful and I was more than happy to watch the videos that Nick prepared. A lot of lawyers would not take the time to do that, but it was amazing, and I am so glad I had access. He covered everything, but the videos that discuss how to speak to the judge, how to stay calm, and how to stick to the truth and avoid exaggerating were especially helpful. I would absolutely, 100% recommend the Disability Academy to anyone applying for Social Security Disability benefits.

Attorney Nick Ortiz is the best disability Attorney. After extensive research, I contacted Attorney Ortiz in reference to my denied LTD Insurance Claim. After working 30 years and becoming disabled due to TBI, it was a horrible ordeal being on $0 income. Attorney Ortiz is brilliant and compassionate and he truly cares about getting you a winning result. Attorney Ortiz did an outstanding Appeal and had my claim overturned without having to file a lawsuit in Court. When I received the back pay check, I cried because I felt safe having Attorney Ortiz as my Advocator. Thanks to Attorney Ortiz, Alicia and Dawn, I will have a Joyous Holiday Season.

Nick Ortiz and Tory Nelson are super awesome! They have both been helping me thru a very difficult time in my life. Tory Nelson was always the pleasant voice on the other end of the line when I felt hopeless. Very encouraging and very respectful! I would highly recommend them for all of your disability needs. They have stuck right there with me!

I decided to speak with someone about my options for filing a disability claim. I had no idea where to turn or how to even make the first move, but after reading reviews for Mr. Ortiz I decided to take a chance, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. His office staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. If they didn't have an answer they would find out and I always received a phone call the same day. Mr. Ortiz did not hesitate to call me back when I had concerns and was always very reassuring. I highly recommend Mr. Ortiz. He always kept me up to speed on my case, and I am grateful.

My claim was denied twice, but once the Ortiz Law Firm got involved my case was approved. Seriously, I am so pleased with Ortiz Law Firm and so thankful that they were able to help me and my family during these super difficult times. Tory and Mr. Ortiz were able to get my case approved and I will forever feel indebted to them because of that. Since I got sick my brain/thoughts aren’t what they used to be, but I would like to go on record with nothing but the highest regard for Tory & the Ortiz Law Firm.

I love this Law Firm! Everyone, who I had personal contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Victoria (Tory), the Paralegal handling my case, was/is amazing. No matter, how many times, I contacted her, which were many, oftentimes asking her the same questions, was always very patient with me, and took the time to explain everything, in detail, as to what to expect, and when to expect it. Mr. Ortiz was/is very professional, and far exceeded, my expectations, in regards to my settlement. I highly recommend using this Law Firm, without any reservations.

Mr. Ortiz and his staff were not only highly professional but very sympathetic to me. At the beginning, I had a choice between his firm and a larger one. I'm extremely glad I had gone with him. He and staff were diligent with correspondence and phone calls. I felt comfortable explaining my disability, which can be the most demeaning experience to go thru, and I felt he was definitely going to champion my cause. No surprises because he explains it all as many times needed. Highly recommend. ~NGS

One of the best lawyers I have ever met, that is caring, concern, understanding, stay in touch as much as he can. He is an overall just a loveable type person that you just appreciate in all that he does, and continue to do, without giving up, because he does believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel! He's an awesome person to know and gets the job done, and you just can't thank him enough. In my book he's the go getter lawyer that takes his work seriously, and get the job done. But what you have to remember on your end, is that it all takes time, so be patience!

Rosita T.

I have had such a great experience working with both, attorney Nick A. Ortiz and his Paralegal Dawn A. Keller. They answered all my questions promptly. They walked me through every step of appealing my short term disability case. I would recommend Ortiz Law Firm because the attorney Nick and paralegals are very good at getting all of the information received from doctors and putting together a case in a systematic way within a short period of time. My denial decision was reversed because of the professionalism, experience, and knowledge demonstrated by the attorney and the paralegal.

After paying a different lawyer thousands of dollars to represent me, the case got nowhere. Nick and his team took my case for the appeals process and it played out exactly as he said it would. As the case was winding down, there were "expenses". I asked how much the expenses were and he told me a REALLY low amount. This was the exact amount due from the settlement. They are very honest and set reasonable expectations. They certainly exceeded my expectations. Ortiz Law Firm is the real deal for long-term disability cases.

Tory Nelson was my primary contact with Ortiz Law Firm and she was simply awesome to work with anytime I called. She kept me informed on my case, answered my questions, or if she didn’t know, she found out!

We won my case! I was feeling anxious about my upcoming hearing, but Mr. Ortiz and his staff were very friendly and professional. I thank God for them and they explained the process thoroughly and put my mind at ease. I was always made to feel that my case was important to them, and they always replied to any questions I had in a timely manner. Thank you so much, Mr. Ortiz, and your also to your wonderful staff... Tory was my point of contact and she was so supportive and knowledgeable. Congratulations to us all!

In my personal opinion, Mr. Ortiz and his employees did a great job. The experience was 1st class. I was lost in the middle of a fight with social security and they carried me through. I thank God for this great team of professionals. I highly recommend them.

Nick Ortiz is amazing! His compassion and knowledge are excellent. When he talks to you it is always honest and he treats you with respect. His staff is very much the same. The journey with disability is hurry up and wait, with the Ortiz Law Firm they give you peace of mind while your waiting. I would recommend them highly to anyone going through this aggravating experience. Thank you Nick and Alicia for all you have done for me!

I chose Ortiz Law Firm due to its great reviews and great reputation in this area. Most attorneys will not take a case until after your initial application is denied. Not so with this firm. I wanted to make sure the process was completed properly from the start. My first call/conversation was with Nick Ortiz. He listened and asked questions to understand my condition. Very knowledgeable respectful and kind. I dealt with Tory from that point forward. She handled the filing and answered all questions timely throughout the process. She was truly awesome! My claim was approved on reconsideration, which I don't believe is very common. I am so glad I had this group of people behind me and very grateful to all! I highly recommend this Firm!

Mr. Ortiz was pleasant and compassionate towards me since my very first phone call to him. He and Suzie made sure that I understood every step along the way about my medical disability claim. They were very professional and attentive to my case and took care of everything! I definitely felt like I was represented by a compassionate and "real" person, not just some attorney who is fake. He was very kind. I feel like Mr. Ortiz is an absolute expert with the Disability system! I thank God that I found Mr. Ortiz as my disability attorney and will not hesitate to recommend him to everybody!

Nick and Sarah and Tory at Ortiz Law are THE best! They are thorough, professional, and go the extra mile for their clients! They helped me win a positive outcome after over 3 years of fighting to get my disability and at my hearing that was finally scheduled Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and not afraid to ask the government “experts” the hard questions to get the facts out! They work hard to gather all evidence/medical records, etc., to be ready to present the facts and dispute anything! They researched my conditions along with the causes and were able to explain to the hearing judge exactly why I should be awarded disability. Nick's videos on how to prepare for the hearings (and other aspects of understanding disability) were instrumental in my ability to understand and what to expect from this lengthy process and the hearings aspect. I was totally unprepared before watching them. Thank you Ortiz Law I couldn’t have gotten a fully favorable decision without your hard work, dedication, knowledge, and all the years of experience with the disability system and hearings /judges!

When I was denied my second appeal for disability, I had to find an attorney to represent me. When I went online, I found dozens and dozens of attorneys that specialize in disability. So I read many reviews, and I selected Nick Ortiz. Selecting Nick Ortiz's firm was one of the best choices I have ever made. Nick Ortiz's law firm has an excellent staff. Sarah (one of the staff) has over 10 years of professional experience in the legal field, and she could answer my questions and put me at ease when I called. Tory, the paralegal assigned to my claim, has over 20 years experience. She was very empathetic to my situation and did a great job calming me down and gathering the records from the nine doctors I am seeing. Tory and Sarah were always accessible and patient no matter what questions I had. Nick is a no-nonsense man. My conversation with him put my mind at ease. They also have online courses called the Disability Academy that address everything you need to know before the hearing with the ALJ (the Administrative Law Judge). The veteran staff is there to answer all of your questions and treat you with compassion. I asked Nick what he thought my chances were, and he replied, "I have looked at your case, and I am in it to win." And win, he did. I received full disability. I would highly recommend Nick Ortiz to represent you! The firm provides everything to help you prepare for your hearing.

I wanted to say thank you to you and your staff for all of the work you did on my behalf. I never thought I’d need an attorney for a benefit that I paid for in good faith but I am fortunate to have found your firm. Thank you so much. If in the future, should I require your services (I will call you) or know of someone in need of your assistance, I will not hesitate to send them your way.

Ortiz Law Firm did an amazing job with my Long Term Disability case! I called several places and no one would take my case, but Mr. Ortiz said he could handle it no problem. I had an extensive amount of paperwork to go through and they managed it very quickly. The office staff goes above and beyond, I worked with Tory. Anytime I needed something or had a question all I had to do was email or text Tory and she was super fast at answering me back. Very professional company and I would definitely use them again!

The Ortiz Law Firm who is seven hours away from me, willingly took over my claim with confidence and reassurance. Highly impressed with the staff, who is knowledgeable, prompt and so sincere. Nick Ortiz himself, spent time with me over the phone and personally got to know my claim. On the day of my hearing, Ortiz greeted me with confidence, represented my claim with passion and knowledge. There aren't enough Thank You's that I can say to the Ortiz law Firm for getting me through this journey!

Top notch concern; number one (1) customer service. At the present time I did not need a lawyer; but they provided me with the knowledge and legal verbiage with law codes to get my long term disability claim in written form from the long term disability company. And also from the company I work for. This law firm went above and beyond to help me! Thank you.

I am so thankful that I chose The Ortiz Law Firm to handle my Social Security Disability case. The Ortiz team is first-rate. I really did feel like I had a team supporting me. From day one Tory Nelson guided me through the entire process. She explained things in a way that made me feel confident while going through the lengthy appeal process. She was always very responsive in providing me with thorough answers to my questions. Team Ortiz has put together an extremely valuable "Disability Academy." This online learning program is broken up into hundreds of bite-size, very focused, pieces of information which helped me learn the oftentimes very technical aspects of the disability process. I was easily able to identify which of the online videos applied to my situation so I could concentrate my efforts on those. Ms. Katherine Schwartz helped me so much in preparing for the actual hearing. With what I learned in the disability academy and what I learned in preparing with Ms. Schwartz, even though I was still very nervous prior to the hearing with the judge, I can honestly say I was very prepared. I didn't experience any surprises during the hearing with the Judge. Thank you, team Ortiz!

I was very pleased with the handling of my case by the Ortiz law firm, especially with Victoria (Tory) Nelson. Tory, always kept me informed with every move they were making on my behalf with excellent results. I highly recommend the Ortiz Disability Law Firm, if you want quick and professional results on your behalf.

Mr. Ortiz and his staff were very professional and kept me constantly updated on the details of my case. Until I became a client with the Ortiz law firm, I had severe anxiety about my case; after my initial meeting with Mr. Ortiz, I felt such relief and confidence because my case was finally in the hands of someone who really cared. If you want to feel like you are more than just a way to make a quick dollar, go with the Ortiz firm. I can't say enough how thankful I am that I did.
