Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.March 2012, doctors diagnosed me with Stage IV Cancer. I never dreamed that I would be disabled and I had heard that SSD was a difficult process. An attorney that I know advised I call Tex Chalkley at Chalkley & Associates to discuss disability options. I visited www.ChalkleyLaw.com to learn more and based on that reference and what I read, I rung Chalkley & Associates to begin the application process. Tex, Heather, and the entire team were brilliant; they lifted a huge burden from my shoulders.
Tex has represented my family in the past, so when it came time to apply for Social Security disability, I knew exactly who to turn to. I made sure my first call was to Tex Chalkley at Chalkley & Associates. I highly recommend that if you are reading this, and if you are injured or disabled, you take my advice, and call Tex as well. Tex and his team explained everything to me and they were as nice as could be.
For my husband's social security disability claim we started off with another lawyer, and we were not very happy at all. We looked for someone else,and were lucky to be referred to Tex Chalkley & the associates at his law office. We received much more compassion, concern and feeling of security that things were being taken care of with Tex than we did from the other lawyer.We hope to not have the need to get help from a lawyer again,but if we do,Tex will be our first call and he should be yours.
I tried the disability process on my own and got denied. I tried again and got denied again. It came to the point where I had to prove my disability to a judge. I knew I should get an experienced lawyer to help me. I found Tex Chalkley in the phone book,and I am glad I did. Within two months Tex represented me in front of the judge, and did such a great job that I got approved for disability on the spot. On a similar note, my experience with the entire team at Chalkley & Smith was terrific.
My husband is on disability, so I knew it was a very involved and complicated process. One of my doctors recommended that I call Tex Chalkley. Tex had also helped one of my good friends get disability and improve her quality of life. It's been less than 9 months, I am already receiving benefits, have received medicare, and am in a much better position than before I hired Tex.
I received injuries from an accident at work, and was in the middle of a Work Comp claim. I also applied for social security disability. At first I applied for disability without the help of a lawyer. I was denied that first time. Luckily, I obtained Tex to represent me. Regardless of all the hoops that the social security administration makes you jump through,Tex represented me well, he and his firm took the burden of all the work on,and got me the benefits I deserved MUCH sooner than expected!
I knew getting disability wasn't going to be easy. I applied twice without a lawyer and got denied. I contacted a social security lawyers organization to help me find a good lawyer. They gave me Tex's number. Even though I was denied when applying on my own, Tex made me feel like I had a chance. I think that Tex and his team did a great job building my case and getting me the disability that I deserve. I hope anyone needing help calls his office.
I hired a lawyer for social security disability. Once I hired them, I didn't see or hear from them again, unless I tracked them down. I needed a new lawyer. I found Tex in the yellow pages. I felt good about Tex and his staff from day 1. I have heard horror stories about the disability process, and actually experienced some of it myself with my first attorney. In less than 6 months after hiring Tex I have already been approved for social security disability, and received my first few checks.
I was injured at work and was no longer able to work. I was referred to Chalkley & Smith by a family member, and I'm glad I was. Within 1 month of hiring Tex, I had a surgery scheduled. Tex was able to get me a settlement without going to court.Once we took care of my work comp injury, we filed my social security disability claim. Before I knew it I had my first disability check in my hand. I recommend Tex and Chalkley & Smith to anyone that needs help with work comp injuries or SS Disability.
I heard how difficult it is to apply for disability, so I wanted to get a lawyer to help me with this process. I was referred to Chalkley & Smith by one of my doctors. Tex and his entire staff are great. Everything was explained to me very clearly, and I felt comfortable during the entire process.In addition to how difficult I heard it was to apply for disability, I also heard that it took a long time. The entire process with Chalkley & Smith took less than 9 months.
