I would like to thank the entire staff of Coats & Todd for all of their support and hard work with my disability case. I am a retired combat veteran 100% PTD and called the law firm to inquire on social security disability; they answered my questions and provided me with the knowledge that I was a candidate for social security disability benefits. Throughout the process, the firms staff answered my questions and kept me informed on all stages during my application process. I am very happy to say that with the firm’s assistance, my application was a first time approval for disability benefits and we are very happy with the monthly disability amount that will help reduce the financial burden on my family. I am strongly recommending the law offices of Coats & Todd to anyone applying for social security benefits. To all of my fellow military veterans call this firm and they will help you every step of the way!

Respectfully,

J. Miles

I have had a great experience with all the staff that has been involved with my case. They have answered all my questions and allowed my venting with patience and understanding. If I need legal advice in the future I will certainly call them first. Mary, Diane and now Tony have been an appreciated lifeline.

My husband battled Social Security for 6 years. Robert Todd took his case after our first lawyer failed to do anything to win his first hearing. After getting a second hearing, Mr. Todd worked tirelessly and got disability benefits approved. He is amazing and we are eternally grateful!!

After a frustrating denial I contacted Coats and Todd. I worked with Kitri and Katie from beginning to end. They handled my case with expertise and efficiency. They handled me and the furry of questions I bombarded them with on a daily basis with kid gloves while dealing with my frustrations with kindness and empathy. They made me feel like I was the only client they had and all attention was focused on my case. Without their expertise and patience I would have been a ball of stress. My attorney Jason was wonderful. He walked me through each detail of what was expected at the hearing. He was professional but personable and made me feel at ease before, during and after the hearing. He answered every question I could ask. Tony, the person handling the financial side as well as Medicare is exceptional. He explains things to me in laymen terms, making it easy to understand what is going on. His attention to detail is explicit and I felt I could trust him with everything. This firm has made me feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. I instantly felt that I could trust them; I never had any issues with the entire process. I highly recommend this firm and would personally put my reputation on the line by referring them to any one of my friends.

These two are rude, condescending, and do not live up to their advertising! When I spoke to Catherine Coats on the phone she was unfriending, talked down to me, and gave me misleading, untrue information. I went to another attorney and was very pleased with them. I would not recommend Coats and Todd.

I can't begin to thank Catherine Coats and her outstanding staff. This journey began over two years ago. I've worked everyday since I was 16 years old. Three years ago I had a life altering accident. Not only did I break my back and crush my shoulder, I've experienced extreme stress ,anxiety and depression by not being able to work and support my family. These days it is extremely difficult to get an approval from the social security administration unless its an absolute necessity. I am proud to say Coats and Todd and the entire staff are most definitely top notched. They are understanding compassionate and most of all care about their clients. I was ready to give up several times but Mary B and Kitri along with the uplifting support of Catherine made me continue the fight. I'm so glad I did as i was just approved today. God Bless you all for helping me during this trial in my life.

Sincerely, Mike

I would recommend them to everyone that needs help with filing for SS Disability. Catherine Coates is so compassionate, caring and truly a wonderful person. Angela, her assistant was very helpful with questions and answers and amazing to work wiith. Michael was so polite and has a warm and caring personality. He was so helpful with letting me know how the final process will take place. Overall, this company is the best. Thank you just doesn't cover how much I appreciate everything they have done for me. Give them a call today and take all the worries off of yourself.

I am 60 years old and was forced out of my job due to my chronic illness. Although I physically "look fine" I knew there was no way anyone else would hire me due to the multiple monthly medical appointments I needed to attend. I was told by a retired social security disability professional that Catherine Coats and Robert Todd are one of the best in the field and I could not agree more. They made sure the social security administration had every medical detail needed to processes my claim swiftly and successfully. It's difficult enough after working 20 years for a company and suddenly being told that you're no longer good enough for them, and I very much appreciate you and your staff for your compassion and professionalism during every step of the proceedings. You made this journey as painless as possible. Thank you!

Coats & Todd helped me when others could not. Their entire staff is professional and understanding. They were there for me every step of the way, from my initial contact and until the day of my hearing. Ms. Coats personally helped me to clearly understand the format of the hearing and what I was to expect. She is still keeping me up to date as to when i will receive my first check. I cannot thank the entire organization enough for their hard work.

I have my court date tomorrow and unable to reach anyone ny phone due to their phone issues. I went to the website and was able to text someone from the office. The rep said the intake department should be contacting me shortly. So far I've heard nothing. I hope someone shows to represent me in court in the morning. I will update my review after tomorrow's court date.
Received my benefits. My lawyer laid out worst scenario before going in front of the judge. However we got a great judge and she judged in my favor. Thank you Coats and Todd.

With help from Coats & Todd, I had my SSDI closed with fully favorable decision in June 2018. The staff, especially Alex R, have been courteous, responsive, and efficient throughout my two-year SSDI process. My Attorney Jason Blair is articulate and detailed. He amazingly upheld my case in front of the appeal hearing court. I strongly recommend Coats and Todd for those who need reliable, efficient, and effective legal representation for their SSDI cases. Chances are that you will find you make a good choice.

My name is Danney Massey and i wanted to take the time to write a review for everyone that helped me at Coats & Todd . Very professional. Also spoke with me with genuine Compassion. I felt like i could trust them.from day one. Christopher Coats was the first person i spoke with. He took the time to listen to me and reassured me they could help. I was awarded my benefits at the reconsideration level. I want to thank Mary,Diane and Tony as well. Just the most caring people.

Contacted this firm after my first S.S. denial. I provided all the info they asked, and kept them updated with therapist and psychiatrist visits. I was told it was important to keep up with my treatment, which also meant I had to work part-time to pay for treatment. They knew this and assured me it was ok. I called several times over the many months and asked if there was anything else I needed to do, and if my case was worth pursuing. I was told they wouldn’t have taken my case unless it was strong. I was told everything was going well. Then, the day before my hearing, I finally talked to a lawyer and was told the judge was conservative and we should rescind the request for this hearing and reapply for a better judge. I agreed. Then I received a letter saying “per our phone conversation “ they were dropping my case; please contact us again if you are ever unable to work. That wasn’t the conversation we had. After two years being strung along, the whole time knowing I had to suffer through p/t work, and they dumped me with a lie. They want easy cases, and if yours at some point looks like work, they’ll dump you and not care how much time of yours they wasted

Catherine is one of the best attorneys I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Alexandra and Tony were also extremely helpful, answering the questions I had (and even some I'd not even thought of). They take the time to explain the complicated procedures and benefits of Social Security Disability with understanding and professionalism.

I tried working with Social Security directly for over a year without results. When Coats & Todd took over my case, it was a huge burden off my shoulders, with an extremely favorable decision in the end. I highly recommend this firm and urge those with disabilities to hire them rather than attempt to deal with Social Security directly.

Getting approved still takes forever and is difficult but nice to have a lawyers name to throw around on your paperwork to help them move it along. Did help us get a better doctor review then previously and the rates are really reasonable.

I was approved for disability in 2014 from another lawfirm. My benefits were suspended cause I was over sga in 2015, In January 2018 my depression got bad again and I was way under the sga and couldn't work. I contacted Coats and Todd and they took my info and said I was eligible for assistance. Several days later I get a letter saying they couldn't help me. I was still in my epe period when my sga went down and I am entitled to having my benefits restarted without applying again. They treated me like I was someone first applying for disability, which is not correct. It should be a simple case as in getting the benefits that I am owed during my epe(eligibility period). I'm very upset that they turned me away. I'm also still eligible for ssi but yet I'm tossed away like a piece of trash... I suffer from major depression and have had it since I was a child, even with medication I still have bad days where I can't get out of bed.. I strongly recommend you to look for another firm.

My mother used this firm and had an exalant experience. Mr. Todd fought hard at her hearing and she finally received her benefits. The staff were professional and always responded to us quickly. They answered our questions and even told us about some healthcare resources we did not know about. They went above and beyond for my mom and I recommend them to everyone I know.

Do not call this firm unless you have less than $3000 in assets. However, I was referred to other firms?????. In other words, they did not take the time to explain or find out what type of help I needed. You are not allowed to talk to an attorney only an INTAKE PERSON - WHAT IS THAT? - that immediately judges your claim. Very poor service- However if you call your local Social Security office they will inform and help you with any questions you may have concerning your claim - They will inform you that the SSDI program has NO asset limits. Also, they will inform you have the right to appeal and your government Field Office will send you a "Request for Reconsideration" and a "Disability Report - Appeal " along with other necessary forms that will be presented before an Administrative Judge ( if you are turned down again ). They will even inform you of groups that can help you find a lawyer or give you free legal services. They will also tell you that if you have a lawyer they can only charge you 25% or less - but no more than $6000.--- Along with explaining that you have the right to file a new application at any time, but filing a new application is not the same as appealing this decision. So they encouraged me to continue with my current claim.I was surprised that the Field Office took the time to explain the process. Bottom Line - Take your time and find a law firm that will work with you or at least have an attorney answer a question. This firm - very poor service especially when you are going through a difficult time and are looking for help.

This was my one and only experience with the disability process and it was tolerable only because of Coates & Todd. I ALWAYS knew what was going on from Day one, my questions were answered when I had them, and most of the time they were answered before I even had to ask them. This is a professional group of people who know the process. Even after my approval, the communication continues. From top to bottom, this is the firm you want handling your case. Thank you, Coates & Todd for everything and helping me to begin to get my life back together again.

I contacted Coats & Todd more than 2 years ago after about a year I became very discouraged. When my Case Manager contacted me, I told her that I was going to give up and withdraw my application. Shortly after, Catherine Coats called me and explained what was going on a told me not to give up. I didn't and had a hearing and was granted benefits. The firm kept to date and I would recommend them to anyone.

It has been an extremely difficult time for us as a family to watch a loved one become disabled, and then watch as our entire lives fell apart, from the safety and security we were accustomed to, to none...not to mention the loss of our home. The idea that on top of everything we had to deal with the whole process of applying and waiting for disability was daunting. It didn't stop us from applying, but before too long we were denied. A friend of a friend recommended Coats and Todd to us, and frankly we were desperate. So we handed our case over to the lawyers here. It was such a relief to have someone else handling that side of things while we handled the home front. Everyone here was extremely friendly and explained the entire process to us, walking us through every single step.
When the day finally came when we had to appear before the judge, we finally met Catherine Coats, our Lawyer. She was put together and confident and when we walked out of the office that day, we left approved. "I like to win." she said with a smile. She even recommended certain charities that would be able to help us with food, clothing and the cost of living. Thank you Coats and Todd for helping us get back on our feet again. You all are truly Tikkun Olam (healing to the world).
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I would like to share my thoughts/experience with this amazing law firm....thus far. There are no words I can express to share my gratitude and thankfulness for what y’all have and continue to do for me. I went from an incredibly vibrant life to that of a recluse due to a traumatic brain injury. But for the kindness and unrelenting support I have received from everyone at Coates and Todd I don’t know where I’d be. Looking at my life prior to this injury and now it’s a 180. When I feel at my lowest and send in additional reports to the team, I receive a call of thanks for sending the updates and amazing encouragement. I know they are taking my case seriously and I am confident they will prevail. I spent my career in law and did my due diligence before hiring a firm. I even contacted former colleagues to vet my decision. They all concurred that I was hiring the best in going with them and I couldn't agree more. God bless this team for their kindness and tenacity in making sure I am properly represented and protected. I look forward to a positive outcome and could not recommend them more highly if I tried. If you are looking for the best in the business....you’ve found them. I spent over 30 years in law in NY, TX, AL, CA and GA and this firm is tops.

They took away all my anxiety. There was so much paper work to be filled out and filed multiple times. Coats and Todd's team took care of everything. I didn't have to call about how my case was going because they CALLED ME FIRST. You don't get excellent service like that anywhere else. Ms. Coats took my case to court. She's very, very smart, and explains things before and after court. Coats and Todd's team still checks in on me, even afterwards. They truly have your back and sincerely care about their clients!

I've worked for two attorneys in my lifetime and they were nowhere near as GREAT as Coats and Todd. From the scale of 1-10, they are an 11.

I am posting this to recant state and apologize about the previous post I made about the law offices of Coats and Todd. I was just relating the facts of an interaction that I had with the person who answered the phone.
It was not an attempt to impugn, degrade or to imply that they were not a reputable law firm.
I spoke with a gentleman named Chris he was very professional. We discussed the situation and it was determined that a third party service was involved. He assured me that the issue will be dealt with.
I am currently seeking representation and their expertise and will consider it an honor to be represented by their firm. Again my apologies if anyone interpreted these as negative comments involving their reputation.

I got lucky and called Coats and Todd to file for disability. I have consistently been employed since age 18 and did not know if I would qualify for disability. Coats and Todd accepted my case, kept open lines of communication and informed me every step of the way.

Catherine I. Coats called me on May 28, 2019 to prepare me for my hearing. In the beginning of the call Catherine Coats did not seem like a person who was on my side. Later in the call she said she was acting as devil's advocate, and explained what was in my favor. Catherine prepared me extremely well for the hearing.

May 29, 2019, I met Catherine Coats for my hearing. Fortunately, the Judge was compassionate towards me and I avoided all of those worse case scenario questions. The judge gave the Vocational Expert a hypothetical situation of a person who could not preform previous jobs nor any job in the national market.

Reasons:
1. Coats and Todd accumulated every medical record that existed for the last few years.
2. Coats and Todd presented all medical records rather the records favored my position or contradicted my position.
3. Catherine Coats was extremely honest to me and the Judge.

June 17, 2019, the offices of Coats and Todd informed me that I received Full Approval. Coats and Todd expressed respect to myself as well as Social Security.

Catherine Coats told me she wanted to win the case out of her ambition and to benefit me. Coats and Todd are very selective about the cases they accept; therefore, can be honest to the Judge and Social Security.

I felt like giving up many times; however, Coats and Todd continued to ensure me that they accept credible cases and continue to the end with their clients.

My outcome is spectacular!! Thanks Coats and Todd, and especially Catherine Coats.

She was absolutely amazing and truly cares about her clients, placing their welfare above all else!

Called to get help for appeal. Representative got my hopes up and then wasted my time spoke to 2 different people the first person was patient second person named Brandon not so much had to answer some questions as a standard procedure to ensure they could take my case was on the phone for over a hour wich I did not mind but when I asked them to hold or call me back while I got more information for accuracy I realised once back on the phone Brandon hung up no call back, voicemail or email left. Now I was placed on hold several times on duration of call and did not mind waiting but the one time I asked Company to wait it was a problem. I could not believe it. On a good note I ended up finding a better company with patience to help with my appeal and all has been great!

Update 2019: Coats & Todd just responded to my review to cover there butts. Point proven. Suddenly "No Brandon", "No records" for my call. You all beware of this company. Read the other reviews before you waste time with a bunch of liars and impatient representatives like I did. Lesson learned! On a good note I did thorough research and checked all reviews the second time and found another company last year that was amazing!! All went well with my case. Great firm with patience that was with me every step of the way and never forgot or lost me in the system.

I had a very positive experience partnering with Coats and Todd to obtain disability benefits. Katie worked diligently on my case at all times. She went above and beyond to assist me in the process. I found it was important to stay organized and immediately inform Coats and Todd about every single doctor appointment I attended. Katie had a way of making me feel like I was Coats and Todd's only client. This assured me that my case was in the best hands possible to get approved for SSA benefits. Even though my medical conditions qualified me for benefits, I was denied twice when applying on my own. I am convinced that without the excellent representation I received from Coats and Todd, I would have been denied a final time. The Tarrant County SSA takes their time in the process. Nothing happens fast with the SSA. However, Coats and Todd worked every day for me, even though they had no control over how long SSA took. Mr. Todd personally represented me on my court date. He even called me the night before to go over my case. I strongly recommend Coats and Todd for your representation.

This is the most honest straight to the point lawfirm ihave ever talked to. Mr. Christopher Coats takes his time and explains every detail to me until I undersatand it. His legal team (Ann, Katie, and Kitri) are kind and always availible to hear my every concern. In a day and age when everyone is only concern with themselves this is a refreshing change. I will and have recommended this lawfirm to anyone who would benefit from their counsel.

Most incompetent office staff I've ever dealt with. Rude, short, refuses to answer questions and doesn't give a rats ass how their screw ups affect the lives of us peons. Good luck and good day.

They were not very helpful for disability and couldn't answer my questions. Didn't want to help cause I answered some stuff wrong. That shouldn't be a reason not to help someone.

My experience with Coats & Todd was awesome. What I cherished most was the honesty and efficiency. I was always kept updated and when information was needed from my end, I was contacted either through a phone call, an email or a letter, depending on the importance. I am elated with the end result and I recommend Coat's & Todd to anyone who has the sense to trust them!

After another high profile attorney in Dallas had earned me a denial, and told me that I just didn't have chance with Social Security, a friend suggested that I speak with Coats and Todd. From the first meeting with Ms. Catherine Coats I again had hope. Ms. Catherine, Atty. Jason Blair and their excellent staff went to work. One day after being homeless for almost 3 years Ms. Catherine called and told me that we had won my case. I broke down and cried right then. Coats and Todd walked with me through the trying process of dealing with the U.S. Government and were there to answer all my questions and make sure I received my just due. My most humble Thank You and God bless you. Ms Catherine is a grand Christian woman and more people could learn from her example.

I was searching for an attorney that could assist me in battle with SSA disability for 2 years. I had my case at the administrative judge hearing level and needed help fast. I gave Coats and Todd a call and they were on my case asap. The Coats & Todd staff was professional and felt the need to help me in my case and they will do their best to assist me in my case. I would always get a call back on any questions I had in a timely manner All staff was very pleasant and took very good care of me. I felt relieved I finally have a law firm that care about the client and what I was going through. Through it all they stuck by me and I had an exciting win in my SSA disability claim that we fought for and I didn't have to do it alone. I'm so grateful for them if I didn't have the attorney Jason and paralegal Katie on my side I wouldn't have made a successful win without them. I am so blessed to have them on my team. Thanks so much. You all are awesome..

I filed for disability and was turned down. I was so weary of digging up old files and researching old recollections of misery and pain, I decided to just let a competent attorney have a try at it. I saw an ad for Coats and Todd and called them up.
I never had to leave my home except to go to my Doctor appointments and then I heard from SSA, who requested I go to their Doctor.
It wasn't long after that when I received my award letter from SSA.
The whole process only took a few months and my stress level was much better just knowing that I was being represented.
I will feel better when I receive my back payments because that is how I can catch up on my property taxes, doctor bills, etc. because contrary to popular belief, when you get very sick or are suffering from something that was no fault of yours, well, you get my drift. Thank you Coats and Todd, I'm glad I chose you!

I called him to ask for help with my injuries and getting disability and she asked me seven or eight questions and said we can't help you go file your self. I didn't feel like they had enough information to make a real determination with only seven or eight questions before I was immediately disqualified by their firm!
I have read several reviews and there were some good ones so I was excited but after I was disregarded so quickly I read the bad reviews and saw a trend The trend is them responding with some bull crap legalese and try to be all politically correct with their passive aggressive answer that's not with people that have physical or mental disabilities need we need someone to be compassionate not passive aggressive

I will be seeking the assistance of another attorney as I suggest you to do the same !

They filed my case late it's been over a year waiting to see a judge now I've had to take a job I can't perform and to top it off they call me and someone tells me I haven't been to the doctor. Been atdoctor every 3 months lost 40 pounds in this year plus I'm full blown aids bi popolar with psychotic eposids and dont let me leave out hep.c so if you want help this is not the best law firm to go with. And before I leave you they called and asked me to get my records and doctor statements but I bet if I was to keep them as my attorney they would have there hand out for there 25 or30 percent when I win.

For 5 years I fought with SSD, getting denied over and over again. I was ready to give up, I just wanted to get on with my life. My sister-in-law recommended the law firm she had used whom won her case. So I figured it can't hurt because if they don't win, they don't get paid. I employed Coats & Todd 7 months ago and guess what? THEY WON! My husband doesn't have to sell our things or borrow money to get my medicine or to pay for Doctor visits anymore. The staff at Coats & Todd were understanding, helpful and friendly during the whole process before & until after I got my settlement. Finding Coats & Todd was a blessing in which we needed!
