I was an undergraduate at Brigham Young University, graduating with honors with a degree in Comparative Literature and a minor in Economics. While an undergraduate, I studied abroad in Guatemala (si, hablo espanol).
After completing my undergraduate degree, I spent the next two years of my life with Teach for America working to end educational inequality. During that time I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in Houston Texas.
I attended law school at the University of Texas in Austin, receiving my Juris Doctorate in May 2014. While in law school, I was a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution team.
During law school I worked at the Packard Law Firm assisting clients applying for Social Security Disability benefits. Now, as a practicing attorney, I primarily represent clients before administrative law judges in hearings to decide whether or not they are eligible for disability benefits. I know the social security disability system forward and backward and have handled cases at every stage of the disability process from the initial application all the way to federal district court.

Having recently contacted Dustin, I was hugely disappointed when I saw him rudely interacting with the public, driving horribly in his white teslas, mocking those he upset running them off the the road, and did everything possible to be rude and goad others after nearly running people off the road. D...

Dustin Draper worked hard on my social security disability case and we won. He is professional and knows what it takes to win cases, he put his heart in soul into his work.

Dustin Draper is one of the most understanding and caring men in his field. Words can not express how truly greatful my husband and I are with the service we received from him. He really does care about his clients and will do his utmost for everyone.

I contacted Packard Law Firm after I received my second denial from Social Security. I was upset and worried about how I would be able to keep a roof over my children's heads and clothes on their backs. I had lost my job over a year before due to my ongoing medical issues. When I walked in the doo...

"I endorse this lawyer. Dustin is an aggressive and hard working Social Security lawyer. He puts in the extra effort to prepare for the hearings."
"Dustin is a true scholar when it comes to Social Security and their complicated laws. I have represented over 1400 claimants in front of Administrative Law Judges and I have personally referred him several cases of mine to handle in Central Texas. Do not hire one of the national firms because they do not know the local medical providers and often do not give adequate attention to their clients."
