Serving Marshall & Harrison County
Based in Tyler, serving disabled clients in Marshall and Harrison County — with over 25 years focused exclusively on Social Security Disability.
Disability Help in Marshall
Marshall is the seat of Harrison County, roughly 40 miles east of Tyler near the Louisiana state line — one of East Texas’s most historic cities, known for its turn-of-the-century courthouse. It is part of the East Texas community I’ve served for more than 25 years. With over 25 years of experience, I help East Texans get the disability benefits they’ve earned — and I personally handle every case. I focus exclusively on Social Security Disability so you get specialized expertise, not a generalist handling disability cases on the side. My office is in Tyler, but Harrison County residents are among the East Texans I represent.

Why Cheyenne
Marshall is about 40 miles from my Tyler office, but distance rarely gets in the way of a disability case — I handle the paperwork, the records, and the communication with Social Security on your behalf. If your claim is denied and goes to a hearing, disability hearings for the Tyler area are held at the Social Security Office of Hearings Operations. I’ve been to hundreds of hearings there and am familiar with the local Administrative Law Judges.
Common Questions
Yes. If you haven’t worked enough to qualify for SSDI, you may still be eligible for SSI if your income and resources fall below certain limits. This is common for people in East Texas who became disabled at a young age or had limited work opportunities. Contact me and we’ll review your options at no charge.
A hearing is an informal proceeding before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). You’ll answer questions about your medical conditions, daily activities, and work history. A vocational expert may also testify. I prepare every client thoroughly beforehand so there are no surprises, and I’m right there with you to present evidence and make arguments on your behalf.
You can, but the data shows that claimants represented by attorneys are significantly more likely to win at a hearing. I know what the Administrative Law Judges in the East Texas hearing offices look for, how to present medical evidence persuasively, and how to cross-examine vocational experts. There’s no upfront cost to hire me, so there’s no financial risk in getting help.
I’ve been representing Social Security Disability clients in East Texas since 1999 — over 25 years. I graduated cum laude from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law and spent eight years at a larger disability firm before opening my own practice in Tyler in 2007. Social Security Disability is all I do.
