Skaar Law will call you at the time of your choosing to discuss your disability and determine if you have a viable claim for Social Security Disability
Benefits.
Initial Filings To Federal District Court
Why We Are The Best? All We Do is Texas Social Security Disability!
At Skaar Law, we understand the devastating impact a denied claim for social security can have, not just on the individual, but also on their family members. Each denial is typically both shocking and humiliating, because of the typical tremendous work history of the individual, coupled with their current inability to continue to work, resulting in the desperate need for income and insurance benefits because of the individual’s inability to continue to work and provide monetarily for themselves or their families.
However, if you have looked through our frequently asked questions, you found that you are far from alone, as a majority of initial claims are denied, and in the vast majority of these denials the Social Security Administration decided the case based on only a fraction of the available medical evidence and without any input whatsoever from treating medical sources.
Further, if you are unable to ensure that the Administration obtains missing evidence and/or reaches out to your treating sources for an opinion of your ability to sustain any type of full time employment, you will almost certainly be denied again on appeal, because the Administration is severely under staffed and makes very little effort making follow up requests for evidence and never requests opinion evidence from your treating providers. Realistically, your only recourse to appeal again, and face a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”), who is paid by the Administration to decide your case. ALJ’s make no effort to obtain any missing evidence or obtain any new evidence or medical opinions prior to your hearing.
Explore What We are Doing Better – Personal Touch
When Daniel Skaar opened Skaar Law in 2007 he was determined to keep his practice small in order to keep the “personal touch,” when it came to providing client services. The firm has always consisted of only two attorneys and two extremely qualified paralegals, with over 50 years of combined experience dealing with Texas Social Security Disability. Whether you are merely considering filing for disability, filed for disability, need assistance with a hearing or appeal; or just want to speak to a law firm that can answer any questions about any aspect of the quagmire of the Social Security Disability process – please give us a call and we will make sure all your questions are fully answered, whether or not you chose Skaar Law to represent you, and will ensure that you are fully informed of your rights under Social Security Disability law.

ALJ Hearings
If your claim requires an ALJ hearing (as most do), Skaar Law may be the only firm in Texas that authors a brief that is submitted to the ALJ prior to the hearing in every case, which specifically cites to every important piece of evidence in your file to prove your disabling limitations. Further, we understand the short comings of the Vocational Expert Witnesses (“VE’s”), which the Administration pays to testify at your Administrative hearing, and provide expert cross examination of the VE, who consistently rely on outdated jobs descriptions and job numbers, proving that the jobs cited either no longer exist, or are not performable by you, given your physical and/or mental work related limitations. We prove that VE testimony is unreliable and cannot be relied on in finding you not disabled.
