Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Law Offices of Coats & Todd offer focused experience in the complex area of Social Security Disability law. As attorneys, we make it our business to know the law. We understand how frustrating and depressing applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) could be. It may take a year or more to be approved for benefits, even with a lawyer. Our firm places a high emphasis on professional integrity. We make every effort to advance your claim. You get honest answers about your chances of success and about how long the process will take. We go the extra mile to connect clients to good doctors and help find financial resources to assist you in bridging the gap until you receive benefits.

Many people give up after their initial claim is turned down. Did you know very few people are approved on their first application? The key to success is to keep seeing your doctors, to keep your attorneys informed about your treatment, and to inform us of any changes in your health or employment status. Be confident that we won’t give up on your case and we will represent you at any stage of the process. Whether you have not yet applied or need help with the appeals process, we are prepared to get results. We are not afraid to take the hard cases.

Some law firms use non-attorney "advocates" to handle cases. We think that is a disservice to disabled individuals who desperately need benefits. At Coats & Todd, you are represented from DAY ONE by a lawyer who knows the law and can represent you in hearings and court appeals. Our SSD attorneys have 40 years of combined experience in Social Security Disability claims. Founding partners Catherine Coats and Robert Todd have practiced since 1992 and 1991, respectively. Both have served as president of the Dallas Association of Social Security Claimants Attorneys and both are active in professional and community organizations.

Practice Areas Description

- Back Injury

You may look fine to others, and some of the time you feel fine. This is the curse of back ailments.

The law office of Coats & Todd understands back and neck injuries. We know that it can hurt just to walk or stand. We know that you think twice about bending or lifting anything. We know you are frustrated that the injury won't heal and you can't work.

- Social Security Disability

If you are unable to hold a job because of a physical or mental disability, Social Security disability is a financial safety net. Qualifying for benefits is often a long, complex and frustrating process.

The law firm of Coats & Todd can help. Whether you are filing for the first time or your claim was already rejected, we know what to do. Our experienced and compassionate attorneys will handle the details of documenting your disability. We will take your claim through all necessary appeals to pursue the benefits you need and deserve.

- Mental Impairment

Social Security disability claims for mental illness are difficult to win. You will need solid documentation from mental health professionals and the legal assistance from an attorney who knows how to handle these cases.

- Chronic Pain

You may have a diagnosis, but no cure has worked. Or maybe you've been told by family members or employers — and even doctors — that it's "all in your head."

The lawyers at Coats & Todd will listen to you and help prove that your impairment is real and prevents you from working. We have helped hundreds of people like you obtain Social Security disability (SSDI) for chronic pain injury claims and hard-to-prove autoimmune diseases.

- Diabetes Disability

Millions of people with diabetes are able to function at a normal level. But thousands of people like you have serious secondary health effects that prevent them from working.

The law firm of Coats & Todd has a successful record in Social Security disability (SSDI) and SSI claims for diabetes. We help people who have been turned down for benefits prove that the disease interferes with their ability to hold a job.

- Heart Disease Disability

A heart attack or chronic heart condition can cause a wide range of physical setbacks, making it difficult for you to work. If you are no longer able to perform your job duties due to a heart condition, you may qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

The attorneys at the law firm of Coats & Todd have more than 40 years of experience handling SSD claims and appeals for clients throughout Texas and nationwide. We can help you present your claim to the Social Security Administration, demonstrating how your heart condition is affecting your ability to work, as well as related problems such as respiratory disorders and obesity.

- Respiratory Condition Disability

A serious respiratory condition can keep you from working and earning a paycheck. Respiratory conditions can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, lightheadedness and other problems that make it impossible to do most jobs. If you are afflicted with a breathing problem such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you may be able to secure Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

- Blood Disorder Disability

If you suffer from a blood disorder, it can have a severe impact on your ability to work. People with blood disorders can suffer a wide range of effects, from severe fatigue to uncontrollable bleeding. If your blood disorder is keeping you from having a job, you may be able to obtain Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

- Obesity

Obesity can lead to severe health problems that limit or eliminate your ability to work. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is reluctant to award benefits to people with obesity claims, but your chances of success are greatly improved with skilled legal representation.

At the law firm of Coats & Todd, our lawyers have more than 40 years of combined experience handling SSD claims and appeals for clients throughout Texas and nationwide. We understand the hardships faced by people suffering from obesity. We will put our skill and experience to work for you, to help you pursue the Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits you need and deserve.
