At the Law Office of Clifford M. Womack, our goal is to provide a caring, compassionate, and client-centered experience which respects the unique circumstances and best interests of each individual with regard to their particular legal situation. While we know there is no “one size fits all” solution to every case and every client, we do believe that every person has the right to expect fair representation in the court of law. We understand that navigating the legal system can be a confusing and intimidating experience, especially when the life circumstances that have brought you to court may be causing you a great deal of emotional or physical pain.

You may find that some of the larger firms are not interested in taking your case, or that you cannot even meet with your lawyer until the day of the hearing. But we believe that the first step to successful litigation is building a truly privileged partnership between the attorney and the client. This is why our firm prides itself on offering hands-on legal consultations for all our clients. We are willing to discuss the details of your case in person and to provide clarification when you need it. When it is finally your day in court, you can rest assured that our lawyer will be by your side to fight for your legal rights. This is our commitment to you.

Experience

 Your lawyer, Clifford M. Womack, is a state licensed attorney with over 20 years experience litigating cases within the Tarrant County area including criminal defense, personal injury, medical malpractice, wills and probate, and debtor-creditor law. (You can read more about him here.) Unlike many other law firms, however, our law office concentrates on handling medically related claims with an emphasis on social security disability and workers compensation. Often these cases will involve complex physical and psychological circumstances that can impact quality of life, family relationships, and the ability to remain an active and productive citizen within the community. In addition we provide a wide variety of legal services to accommodate your family law needs.

If you are seeking to file a social security disability claim with the federal government, then chances are you have been experiencing painful, unpleasant, distressing, and intrusive symptoms that have begun to significantly affect your ability to engage in work as well as your regular daily activities. Physically and psychologically, everyday life has become more challenging than it should be. You have probably also paid numerous visits to doctors and specialists in search of relief for your condition but have become frustrated as they are ultimately unable to help you recover your full strength, energy, abilities, or quality of life. 

At the law offices of Clifford M. Womack, it is our goal and privilege to develop a personal connection with all our clients. We believe that maintaining strong and open lines of communication forms the bedrock upon which we are able to forge an ongoing relationship with all those we serve. Questions, comments, or inquiries into the legal services we provide are encouraged. Below you will find several different methods of contact where you may reach us.

 Directions

Our office is located one block south of the Texas Christian University campus, in the historic La Mancha business center building (right across from CVS Pharmacy.) Parking is available on the street and in the rear of the complex and is fully handicap accessible. (Once you are there, go through the green door facing Berry Street at the North entrance and our offices will be the first you will encounter.) If you travel by public transportation, the T Route 24 bus has a stop located within walking distance of the plaza.

My focus is to first and foremost establish (a) that you are a unique individual with a unique work history and skills and (b) how your disability affects your capacity to do competitive work in the American economy. You should know that Social Security disability insurance is not an entitlement. It is insurance that you paid for via automatic deductions from your payroll checks (in the form of FICA taxes) which is the basis of your monthly benefits.

To be successful in your disability claim before the Administrative Law Judge, you must disclose your medical record and employment history in full detail. Going before an Administrative Law Judge can be a daunting experience for many claimants.

In my experience, clients are often nervous and unable to express themselves in a coherent manner at the hearing. The pain you are experiencing from your injury can significantly affect your ability to concentrate. Additionally, if you have a mental or psychological challenge you may find it difficult to explain your situation to the Administrative Law Judge. Therefore, it is extremely important that we prepare for our day in court well beforehand.

As your attorney I will ensure that the Administrative Law Judge is thoroughly informed of your all your limitations. The first step in this process is for you to spend sufficient time with me so I can understand your work history and the extent of your disability. Together will explore how this impairment affects your ability to perform your previous job.

Helping you navigate the 5 step process of a disability hearing is my duty. I will help you to convey your unique story and your unique medical condition to the Judge. To do this, we must work together in developing your story so we can make the judge understand (1) why you cannot do your past work as you once performed it and (2) why you cannot do your past work as it is normally performed in the national economy. The task of the commissioner is to now prove that there is other work you can perform which exists in significant numbers in the national economy. In order to do this, the Judge will rely on the testimony of a vocational expert.

This is where our development time together will pay off because I will know the details of your prior work and whether you have skills that are transferable to the job that the vocational expert proposes. By knowing the exact skills requirements of this job, as set out in the dictionary of occupational terms, I will be able to show why your disability precludes you from performing the proposed job. If we are successful in showing you cannot do other work on a competitive basis, then the Judge should make a finding that you are disabled and award benefits.

As you consider whether you may think that you and I will make a good team together, I encourage you to research the disability rights of a claimant, your work skills, and your medical & psychological disabilities.
