I only had to book about two months but very good job

They did so great to get me approved. I wasn't impressed with the lack of communication. I don't know what all they had to do to get me approved. They got me an extension when I didn't get paperwork back quick enough. They also filed a dire needs request to bump me up the line. Totally appreciate the help.

My application was rejected..

they do all the hard stress full part of the negotiations something people don't want to do

This was the best decision I probably ever made, although it took some time many associates worked with me and kept me informed and up to date! I sometimes became anxious and called upset ( Thanks Bev!❤️) Everyone was superior in getting this ball rolling, it is a long process, but it has finally come to fruition ! Thanks to Diane , Bev, Michael, Bree! All of y'all caring,supportive and kind! Coats & Todd the very best !

Catherine Coats at Coats & Todd is truly exceptional. She represented me in my Social Security Disability case with remarkable professionalism, care, and attention to detail. From our first meeting, it was clear that she was deeply knowledgeable and genuinely committed to helping her clients succeed. Catherine presented my case with clarity and confidence, making sure every important detail was addressed. Her ability to communicate complex issues and build a strong, strategic argument made all the difference in achieving a successful outcome. She also treats her clients with dignity and compassion, and it’s clear she has the utmost admiration for veterans of the United States. That respect shines through in how she advocates for those she represents. If you’re looking for a disability attorney who delivers real results and takes your case personally, I highly recommend Catherine Coats and the entire team at Coats & Todd. You’ll be in excellent hands.

They really worked hard and got me my approval for my benefits

This law firm is incredible to work with. You can tell that Catherine Coats really cares about her clients and I feel very fortunate to have had her to represent me. She was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I felt that I finally had someone in my corner that I could really trust.

Thank you so much for helping my son get approved!!

*Added review in response to Christopher Coats comment to the response below 04/09/25.* Just because I didn’t leave a voicemail doesn’t mean I didn’t call. And contrary to what you said about not speaking about my case in particular, you are in fact speaking about it as seen in your first comment when you refer to validating Anna on what she told me. You then again infer that if you moved on with my case that it would be considered fraudulent and deceptive. Not only did you actually refer to my case in particular, you clearly insulted the trauma that I went through in my time in service by calling it fraudulent and deceptive. And then you continue to cover up your egregious actions by saying it’s all a miscommunication and that I don’t know what qualifies someone for SSDI and don’t know what SGA is. I had a deadline to submit my SSA package. I went to your firm for help. Instead of helping me you and your firm didn’t even attempt to contact me on any progress you have made on my case. You and your firm deliberately waited until my deadline was up. I had to call your office to figure out what was going on and only when I called your office is when you and firm said you can’t help me. That was already near the deadline. I have severe degenerative arthritis in both knees. You screwed me. A disabled veteran. *Added Review in response to the owner Christopher Coats' statements below, since I'm not able to respond directly to his comment for whatever reason.* Hello Chris. I did try calling you as you invited me to, but your phone went straight to voicemail. I would like to address what you are implying in your statements. In your first paragraph, you are implying that my disabilities are fraudulent and that I was fraudulently applying for SSDI benefits. I was blown down by an aircraft engine at 1500 horsepower in the line of duty and thus continue to suffer from multiple injuries. So how dare you assume that any part of my case is fraudulent or deceptive. Second, there is a criteria that needs to be met in regards to Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). Just because someone is working doesn't mean that they are making SGA and if they're not then they are eligible to receive SSDI. So your declaration that a person cannot be working at all in order to receive SSDI benefits is false and deceptive. The SSDI program itself doesn't even prohibit beneficiaries from working. People who are receiving SSDI benefits can still work, but their earnings from that job are capped as stated in the program. So after correcting what you have said, it still makes no sense as to why you and your firm have chosen not to help me. A disabled veteran. I DO NOT recommend your firm to anyone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would not recommend this firm at all. I’m a disabled veteran with severe arthritis. I asked Coats and Todd to help me get social security disability income. The case worker in charge of my case was Anna. I had up to December last year to turn in an application. After December I could no longer submit an application. I gave Anna my medical documentation. She gave them to attorney and they were supposed to work on my case. Come close to the December deadline, I called Coats and Todd to see what the status was with submitting my application as I have not heard from them in over a month. Anna told me that the attorney was not going to accept working on my case because they believe at Coats and Todd that Social security disability income is only for those who can’t work. This is far from the truth. If what they said was true, the SSA would not pay out a maximum of $1500 to recipients who are working while at the same time receiving SSDI. So to recap Coats and Todd blatantly lied to me about SSDI and they were waiting for the December deadline to expire before ever contacting me. If you’re a veteran or anyone who is looking for advocacy for SSI or SSDI, look elsewhere. You want honest trustworthy people working your case. Stay away from Coats and Todd.

They are great people and have helped and are helping me through the process of getting my SSD. Thank you very much, and may God bless their business.

Awesome group of people helped me get approved

I called to ask about help and I was told I don’t meet criteria for them to take my case. I then asked what did I say that doesn’t meet your criteria? She just kept saying that I didn’t meet criteria. I have s as heart condition and I had filled my own social security and I don’t know what I’m doing I need help. I can’t believe I can’t get help from them.

We contacted Coats & Todd to help my uncle with his disability, and he gathered all the necessary information to be able to get the process restarted (as he had tried to apply for disability a decade earlier) and when they asked for a certain information from the Social Security office the DLI because of his previous application status, they said the date meant he wasn’t eligible for help even though he had since had a stroke and other ailments pop up. They didn’t really explain anything further besides we weren’t eligible cuz of the DLI so we didn’t know how to proceed and still don’t. I thought the whole purpose of contacting a disability lawyer was to help people navigate situations like this because it’s very confusing, not throw them to the wind.

Not impressed. Pretty much paid them for nothing. I filed all the paperwork and made in person visits to G.P. SS office. The three women who "worked"
