Disability Help in Jacksonville
Social Security Disability help for Jacksonville.
Jacksonville is the largest city in Cherokee County, about 30 miles south of Tyler on US Highway 69 — long known across the region as the “Tomato Capital.” It sits well within the area I’ve served for over 25 years. My office is in Tyler, but I represent disability clients throughout East Texas, and Cherokee County is part of that. When Social Security denies your claim, it can feel like the system is working against you. I focus exclusively on Social Security Disability, so you get specialized expertise — not a generalist handling disability cases on the side. And when you call my office, you talk to me, every time.

Why Cheyenne
A Tyler attorney close to Jacksonville.
At about 30 miles, Jacksonville is one of the closer East Texas communities to my Tyler office — but most of the disability process doesn’t require travel at all. I take over the paperwork, gather your medical records, and deal with Social Security so you don’t have to. Disability hearings for the Tyler area are held at the Social Security Office of Hearings Operations, where I’ve represented clients at hundreds of hearings.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Social Security maintains a “Blue Book” of qualifying conditions, but you don’t have to match a listing exactly. Common conditions I handle for clients in Tyler and East Texas include heart disease, back and neck injuries, cancer, depression and anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, COPD, diabetes, neurological disorders, and autoimmune conditions. What matters most is how your condition limits your ability to work.
It depends on how much you’re earning. Social Security uses a threshold called Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). In 2025, that’s $1,620 per month for most applicants. If you earn less than that, you may still be eligible. Many of my clients in East Texas are working limited hours due to their condition. I can help you understand where you stand.
Bring any denial letters you’ve received from Social Security, a list of your medical conditions and medications, names and addresses of your doctors, and your work history for the past 5 years. Consultations at my Tyler office are always free.
No. I don’t charge for consultations, phone calls, gathering medical records, or any work I do on your case. The only fee is the contingency fee described above, and it only applies if we win. I want every person in Tyler and East Texas who needs help to be able to afford it.
