This was one of the most misleading and frustrating experiences I've had dealing with any service…read more I was on the Social Security website looking into filing for disability when a pop-up asked if I wanted help. I clicked yes, believing I would be contacted by SSA. Within a minute, I got a call--but it was not Social Security. It was Clauson Law Firm, and that was not made clear upfront. At the time, I was under serious stress--facing financial hardship and dealing with service-connected disabilities. The initial rep was friendly and told me I had a "strong case," which built trust quickly. I was then sent documents to sign on my phone without being given a proper copy or a meaningful chance to review what I was agreeing to. What followed was a 2+ hour call with another representative who struggled to accurately complete basic information. The application ended up full of errors. When I pointed this out, I was told it didn't matter--they would submit incorrect information anyway to "lock in the filing date" and fix it later. That was a major red flag. At that point, I realized I was not dealing with SSA at all. I requested copies of anything I had signed and never received a clear agreement outlining fees or obligations--only more copies of the same incorrect application. I ultimately went directly to the Social Security office, removed this firm from my case, and handled it myself. Despite that, I later received notice that they intend to pursue fees through a Fee Petition--again, without me ever being provided a clear agreement showing what I supposedly authorized. In my opinion, this process felt intentionally misleading from the start, especially for someone in a vulnerable position trying to navigate disability benefits. If you're looking for help with Social Security, be extremely careful about who you're actually dealing with. I strongly recommend going directly through SSA or working with someone who is upfront about who they are and what they're charging.

My aunt met Mr. Garza many years ago when he practiced nursing. His bedside manners were beyond anything that we have ever witnessed. Mr. Garza is such a caring person who truly wants to help. When my aunt found out that not only is he a nurse, he also practices Social Security Law. So, it was natural that she would want him to represent her in her claim for disability benefits. My aunt met Mr. Garza for a consultation. Unfortunately, he turned down the case for many good reasons. However, Mr. Garza didn't just turn her away. Explained to her what she needed to do to help strengthen her claim. My aunt filed on her own and began doing everything Mr. Garza explained to her. She was denied twice and sought representation with Mr. Garza again because her case was going before a judge. After the second consultation, Mr. Garza agreed to accept her case. At the hearing, my aunt stated that he was a beast in the hearing. He knew his stuff and her file like the back of his hand. She told me that he was so good that they received a favorable decision at the hearing. Apparently, this is not common. I write this on behalf of my aunt because she has not passed away and never truly had the opportunity to thank Mr. Garza and his team for all they did for her. If you are looking for representation, I encourage you to contact Mr. Garza's team. You will not regret it. You may not get the response that you want the first two times. But his team will do what they can to get that approval for you. Mr. Garza, you are a fantastic person, do not stop helping people. This is your calling. Thank you for everything you did for my aunt.
