About Burke Barclay Law - Texas Disability Law Firm

When a severe disability prevents you from working, you are facing the toughest time of your life. This is no time to fight a giant government bureaucracy or a massive insurance company on your own. At Burke Barclay Law, we take the burden of the complex appeals process off your shoulders so you can focus on your health and your family.

 Securing Backpay and Financial Futures

We Treat You Like Family, Not a File Number

The process of appealing a denied Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI) is incredibly frustrating. The system is designed to be difficult, and unfortunately, many massive "referral mill" law firms operate just like the government, pushing you through a maze of call centers, inexperienced paralegals, and automated voicemails.

Burke Barclay Law was built to be different. Founded in 2014, our firm is 100% dedicated exclusively to disability law. We view our legal practice not just as a business, but as a mission to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. We know that right now, you are facing the terrifying prospect of losing your home, your savings, and your livelihood. You deserve an attorney who knows your name, understands your medical struggles, and personally fights for your financial survival.
