Testimonials

One of my best experiences. Like other reviewers I was at a loss with how to proceed with an STD disability claim that had been denied. My wife's claim had been denied mainly due to her medical provider submitting improper documentation and unwilling to fix it. Right from the start Dawn Keller at Mr. Ortiz's office returned my call and took the time to listen to our situation. We set an appointment to meet with Mr. Ortiz. Dawn emailed me questions and asked me to submit some reports and documentation so Mr. Ortiz could review our information and be prepared for the appointment. Dawn's professionalism was quite encouraging. Once at the appointment we met Nick Ortiz. Nick is a personable fella that obviously had reviewed the information before our arrival. He afforded us time to explain our situation and he provided great council. We never felt rushed, we felt welcome and left feeling much better than we had in weeks. We are already putting Nick's recommendations to work and hoping that we will not require further legal services, but if we do I can assure you we won't look elsewhere. Do your self a favor if you have disability legal needs and call Mr. Ortiz office, Nick is a straight shooter you'll find to be a valued asset.

Super helpful and resourceful. From the moment I first spoke to Nick, I found him to be amazingly compassionate, focused, and perceptive. He took considerable time to carefully and systematically analyze my case, and then discuss my situation with clarity and thoughtfulness. I was completely impressed by his focus and attention to the specific details of my situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and smart and offered invaluable insights and advice. I don’t think I have ever met a lawyer who possesses such an ideal combination of brilliance, kindness, honesty, and integrity. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

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!

I truly value my relationship with the Ortiz Law Firm. I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Ortiz, Alicia, and Dawn and how wonderful they are. There are no words to describe how amazing the knowledgeable their team is. Their professionalism is top notch! Your firm knew exactly what the Social Security Administration needed along with the answers and correct information. They stepped in right away and not only assured me but, made me feel comfortable. Very personable, I did not feel like I was out of place or feel like I was beneath them and most importantly they not only did they make me feel important they showed it through their actions. They made me feel at peace when I was in one of the most stressful periods of my life. The very first time I stepped into the Ortiz Law Firm to inquire about him taking my case, he dropped everything he was doing just to speak with me. Mr. Ortiz explained everything in terms I could understand, he gave me options, where, I thought I had none, and just made the whole experience as non terrifying as possible. The entire team makes you feel confident that everything will happen in the very best interest of you in your case. He was not only well prepared and informed the day of my hearing, we met numerous times weeks prior going over everything regarding my case. Even after one of the meetings I did not show up for because I was not only afraid but, my anxiety was through the roof Mr. Ortiz stayed after hours to meet with me. Mr. Ortiz was a great help in reducing my extremely high anxiety level down not only before my hearing but, also during and after it was over.The entire team is extremely easy to communicate with and very accessible. Alicia or Dawn always answered the phone when I called. When I left messages after hours, weekends, or on holidays they return all calls to me promptly first thing in the morning when they returned to the office. Even on numerous occasions when I never returned paperwork sent to me by their office or their phone calls, they stood by my side no matter what never once gave up on me. They were extremely pleasant and professional each time I talked to them and explained in great detail what was going on with my case. Their work is detail orientated and rock solid. It was very nice to have somebody explain what to expect and what needed to be done. Everything was made so simple and straightforward. They explained step-by-step what was going on and answered any questions I had immediately. They also helped me with any of the paperwork I didn't understand. Their excellence is unparalleled. I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me. You were so gracious, kind, and understanding. I know the reason my case was one was because of all your hard work. Mr. Ortiz, Alicia, and Dawn are amazing people. I just wanted you to know how extremely grateful I am for the three of you and how much I really appreciate all of your hard work and help. I would want the Ortiz Law Firm on my side any day! If you are in need of an attorney, you cannot and I stress cannot find better people than right here. Great job! Plain and simple.

From the beginning to the end of the successful appeal by the Ortiz Law Firm, I was always kept in the loop and everything was explained to me along the way. From the initial conversation with a paralegal to my subsequent conversation with Mr. Ortiz, I was convinced that they were the best firm in the entire USA who could help me. And I was right. Ms. Kate Hauser, Esq. skillfully guided me through the process, accumulates information from my doctors, and presented it to the insurance company in clear and thorough letters. Nothing fell through the cracks. It’s a complicated specialty and hey really know their business. I could not be happier and I wholeheartedly recommended the Ortiz Law Firm to anyone across the USA. Everything can be done by email or fax. It doesn’t matter where you live, they can handle it well!

I cannot say enough about this very knowledgeable, kind, and keen to help lawyer. He is very transparent about his strategy and ability to assist, very honest. I called for a consult and a call back was timely received. In addition, he listened thoroughly and compassionately. He took over an hour of his time on a Friday evening to give me excellent direction despite knowing I would not be able to retain him as a lawyer in my particular case. This should speak loudly to anyone considering him as a lawyer. As a nurse, I appreciate those who go the extra mile and practice the Golden Rule. Mr. Ortiz had nothing to gain from me, yet he made me feel extremely valued and regarded my struggle with absolute professionalism and dignity. You can trust you are in the best of hands with him. I am motivated to pay it forward by his kind example!!

Mr. Ortiz is very knowledgeable and has worked diligently with me each and every step of my case. He is very thorough and has answered all of my questions throughout this difficult process while also coming to terms that I am disabled. Mr. Ortiz settled my case 6 months sooner than originally anticipated. His legal team is very professional and one step ahead of the process. I would highly recommend Ortiz Law Firm for your disability case especially if your case is governed by the most common ERISA rules and regulations. Mr. Ortiz is very versed in fighting large insurance companies trying to deny your benefits.

My only regret is that this review is about seven years overdue. I rarely write reviews and did the firm a disservice by not submitting any reviews of the great service I received from the Ortiz Law Firm back in 2013. If I recall correctly, he was the only attorney with the firm then. He and his staff were very deserving of a positive review. Today I was reminded of the EXCELLENT service received from Nick Ortiz while looking for an attorney for my VA disability claim, and decided to write the belated review that I should have at the time.

Nick succeeded in getting my Social Security Disability claim approved the first time through. I wasn't getting very far in the initial filing of my claim for SSDI benefits, just spinning my wheels trying to navigate SSA's requirements and gathering the necessary records. My physical and mental health had me really stressed out, and I was overwhelmed with just getting by day-to-day. I met with Nick O for a free consultation. He impressed me with his ability to listen and understand my issues and with his track record dealing with the SSA. He had a very pleasant personality, and was easy to talk to. He accepted my case, and handled everything involving my claim.

About four to five months later, my claim was approved! No need to file an appeal or anything else. I was/am extremely pleased with the outcome. His fee was some of the best money I ever spent. He earned every penny of it and then some!

I would definitely recommend Nick Ortiz for any of his practice areas and have done so numerous times to friends and others dealing with the SSA.
