Disability Lawyer Helping My Clients and Their Families Feel More Secure and Sleep Better at Night

Hilgers & Watkins PC

Right after law school graduation, I worked as a litigation association in one of the largest Austin, TX law firms, which has since merged with another firm. I worked on large and small cases. The firm took on a lot of pro bono work in the area of Social Security Disability/SSI cases. I found that I loved the disability cases more than any of the other work, so since opening my own firm in 1996 my focus has been in the area of disability law.  I now work almost exclusively on VA disability appeals for military veterans and on Social Security Disability/SSI cases.  I really value the time I worked at Hilgers & Watkins because I met great people, got important experience, and the experience showed me my passion for helping disabled clients get the disability benefits they deserve.

Associate Attorney

Disability Lawyer Helping My Clients and Their Families Feel More Secure and Sleep Better at Night; I Also Love Helping Other Attorneys and Professionals; Experienced in Federal Court Appeals.

I am excited to help disabled Veterans and other individuals get the disability benefits they need and deserve from the VA and the Social Security Administration. In the last few years, it's become harder and harder to prove disability to these agencies but my team and I know how to navigate these complicated, convoluted, and frustrating bureaucracies. We also know how to appeal these cases to the federal courts, unlike many other attorneys. I'm trying to help as many disabled people as possible. 

At the beginning of my career, I discovered a passion for disability law.  Now, I successfully assist U.S. military veterans with VA disability appeals all over the country. My father was a Korean War Veteran, and was known for always helping his neighbor.  I try to follow his example.  

For over 20 years, I have also helped clients with Social Security Disability and SSI disability claims. I encourage my clients not to give up when these vast government bureaucracies make unfair decisions. I recently wrote a book about disability law, including some of my best tactics and strategies to win cases. You can find it at https://amzn.to/3apiUcQ.

My disability clients benefit from my extensive experience with disability appeals at all levels, including in the federal courts. I have argued cases before federal District and Circuit courts. I teach other attorneys how to do what I do, and I contribute to the community through pro bono activities. I am honored and excited to do my work, and I find it incredibly rewarding for me and my clients. 

All of my clients receive respect, professionalism, and caring, and I work very hard for them. Clients pay NO fee up front and I don't get paid if you don't get paid (except in certain federal cases in which the government, NOT you, pays my fee); we're in the fight together. 

You can find more information on YouTube and I'm active on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (see below).  I’m available for public speaking gigs on many topics, including inspirational talks and the areas of law, attorney marketing online, disability, and veterans.

Aviation is not a profession.
It’s a mindset.

In aviation, volume doesn’t matter —
clarity does.
Not speed, but precision.
Not action for action’s sake, but responsibility.

Every decision carries weight.
Every movement follows structure.
Every role is clearly defined.

Aviation teaches us:
✈️ Calm in complex situations
✈️ Taking responsibility — not passing it on
✈️ Making decisions when it truly matters
✈️ Discipline as the foundation of excellence

What applies in the air also applies in business:
Leadership means holding a clear course —
especially when pressure rises.

Maybe we need fewer trends
and more aviation mindset.

Why Aviation Is So Interesting for Women ✈️

Aviation isn’t interesting because it’s glamorous.
It’s interesting because it’s earned.

It’s a field where competence speaks louder than confidence,
where preparation outweighs bravado,
and where decisions are made with clarity, not ego.

Aviation rewards:
	•	Precision over noise
	•	Calm under pressure
	•	Teamwork over hierarchy
	•	Responsibility over image

Flying an aircraft means mastering complex systems, trusting your training, communicating clearly, and taking responsibility when it matters most. That combination resonates deeply with many women—not because it’s “different,” but because it’s real.

✈️ The creation of Cessna: one man, one dream, one bold decision.

In 1911, Clyde Cessna had no blueprint, no investors, and no safety net — just a relentless belief in flight.

So he built his own airplane.

What started as a daring experiment became a legacy. Through failures, crashes, and economic crises, Cessna pushed forward, shaping the future of general aviation and making flying more accessible to pilots around the world.

Today, Cessna stands for innovation, reliability, and freedom above the clouds.

Proof that every iconic brand begins with a single brave step.

🚀 Dream big. Start small. Fly high.

✈️ Aircraft Turbines – the invisible heroes of flight

They’re loud, highly complex, and incredibly precise: aircraft turbines are the heart of modern jets. Spinning at tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, they draw in air, compress it, burn fuel, and expel the gases with immense force exactly what allows multi ton aircraft to take off.

What many people don’t realize:
🔹 A turbine consists of thousands of individual components
🔹 Advanced materials withstand extreme temperatures
🔹 Even tiny efficiency gains save millions of liters of fuel

Whether short-haul or long-haul flights—without these masterpieces of engineering, the global connectivity we take for granted would be unthinkable.

In short: No turbine, no takeoff. 🚀

Multitasking at work is often praised. But is it actually productive?

For years, multitasking has been treated like a badge of honor.
Multiple tabs open. Meetings while replying to messages. Emails answered mid-task.

But research — and experience — show a different story.

When we multitask, we don’t really do multiple things at once.
We switch attention. And every switch comes with a cost:
	•	Reduced focus
	•	Lower quality work
	•	More mental fatigue
	•	Slower completion times

What looks like efficiency is often just busyness.

The most effective professionals I’ve worked with don’t do everything at once.
They:
	•	Prioritize intentionally
	•	Protect blocks of deep work
	•	Communicate clear boundaries
	•	Focus fully on one meaningful task at a time

In a culture that rewards speed and availability, focus has become a competitive advantage.

Maybe the goal isn’t to do more —
but to do less, better.

How do you manage focus in a multitasking workplace? 👇
