I am a Dallas, Texas lawyer who has had the privilege of helping thousands of clients since 1971 in the areas of Personal Injury law, Social Security Disability, Elder Law, Medicaid Planning for Long Term Care, and VA Benefits.
Please click the CONTACT button at the top of this page if you have questions about Personal Injury law, Social Security Disability, Elder Law, Medicaid Planning for Long Term Care, or Veterans Benefits. You’ll find we’re easy to talk to, and we never charge for that first phone call.
The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent almost 40 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
