“Lloyd Bemis has been an outstanding attorney and friend to me throughout the most trying time of my life. He was compassionate and understanding, explaining things to me in a way that I could understand, helping me make decisions that were best for me and my family. He and his whole staff stuck with me all the way, always responding to my questions and concerns. Lloyd knew the entire insurance process inside out, drawing on his experience and knowledge leading to a settlement I was comfortable with. I am so glad I chose Lloyd to be my attorney. His staff and I have become close and I would highly recommend him to my friends.”

Mr. Bemis had a client from Lockhart, came to us knowing how hard it is to achieve a favorable judgement when you first apply for social security disability.
The 60-year-old truck driver had been in an auto accident several years previously which had resulted in a back injury that led to degenerative disc disease. He continued working and subsequently broke his right ankle twice. Over time, these injuries led to debilitating back pain and leg problems. He was no longer able to perform his job duties.
Lloyd represented him in his initial SSDI filing, and he was awarded benefits in July, only three months after we submitted his application.

“I’ve had a great experience working with Bemis, Roach & Reed for my disability case. I spent two years fighting on my own, until I was informed to look for a disability lawyer. Right away, sending in questions was a breeze, and from the moment my case was accepted, everything became a major weight off my shoulders. My newest appeal was filed for me, my medical records and case history sorted for me, and I could finally focus on my appointments and treatment with a little less worry. Everything was explained to me in a way that made sense, the process was set out in an easy to understand way. And, just like that, at the beginning of July 2023, my claim was accepted!” – Sunshinemutt
