They have stuck right there with me!

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.

If I need a lawyer again I will most definitely be calling Ortiz.

Dan D.

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.

Brenda B.

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.

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!

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!

Nick Ortiz is the most compassionate and knowledgeable attorney I have ever encountered. I spoke with other attorneys regarding a wrongful LTD denial, they were all interested in my case but NOT interested in me. Once I spoke with Mr. Ortiz I knew HE would represent ME, it was immediate! His calmness, empathy, integrity and sincerity was exactly what I needed. He is a true advocate for his clients. The Ortiz Law Firm successfully had my claim reinstated. Thank you again Mr. Ortiz & God bless you!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I can't say enough about this firm! They have been AMAZING from start to finish with my case. Mr. Ortiz and his staff were always very knowledgable with any questions that arose.
