Heermans disability has two principal offices: in Galveston TX and Memphis TN. From these locations, we handle social security disability cases throughout Texas and across the Mid-South. The only types of cases we handle are social security disability cases, making us experts in this particular area of the law, and resulting in a very high win rate on the cases we take. We help clients with SSD denials across the South, from Houston, TX to Charleston, SC and everywhere in-between. Disability claimants who are denied by the social security administration need an experienced attorney representative to walk them through the appeal process, collect the proper evidence, and prepare for hearing in front of an administrative law judge. Heermans Disability assists approximately 120 claimants per year with their SSDI appeals, from all backgrounds and across all walks of life. From the initial denial, through reconsideration, and all the way to in-person hearing in front of an administrative law judge, our winning strategies and personalized service are second to none, and we always treat our clients with real southern hositality. Let my advocacy skills as a former criminal prosecutor work for your social security disability case. There are many options out there when looking for a social security disability attorney, from large national firms who deal with their clients through case managers and call centers, to independent attorneys who only occasionally handle these types of cases. Heermans Disability doesn't use call centers or case managers, and Mr. Heermans is personally involved with every single case we take on. When you hire Heermans Disability to help with your social security disability appeal, you're getting 24/7 direct communication with your attorney. Mr. Heermans oversees every single case and remains personally involved with each case until it has been completed. There is no substitute for experience and there is no substitute for direct attorney communication every step of the way when it comes to hiring an attorney rep. We can begin to put our experience with more than 1,000 hearings to work for you today.
When I am not advocating for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, competition BBQ, and college sports. I am an avid reader and writer, focusing on Southern literature and short stories based in the South.
