Client Testimonial: One Phone Call Helped Mercedes Win $1,200 a Month in Disability Benefits
When Mercedes could no longer work, the hardest part wasn’t the pain. She was wondering how she and her family were going to pay the bills.
Today, she receives approximately $1,200 every month in Social Security Disability benefits, and she didn’t have to pay Walker Firm PC dba Casa de la Justicia anything upfront to get there.
A Life Built on Hard Work
Mercedes came to the United States from Guadalajara, Jalisco, determined to build a better life. Like so many immigrants, she wasn’t afraid of hard work.
She spent years working in warehouses before finding a job she truly enjoyed—caring for an elderly woman who depended on her every day.
It wasn’t easy work. It meant standing for hours, lifting, walking and helping someone else with life’s daily tasks. Mercedes was proud she could do it.
Then Everything Changed
Mercedes had lived her entire life with spina bifida, a congenital condition affecting her spine. Even with that challenge, she kept working.
Then one ordinary trip to the grocery store changed everything.
A shopping cart slammed into her leg, severely injuring her Achilles tendon. Suddenly, every step became painful. Standing was difficult. Lifting someone safely became impossible.
The job she loved was no longer a job she could do.
As the paychecks stopped, the stress grew. Rent still had to be paid. Groceries still had to be bought. The family’s expenses didn’t stop just because Mercedes could no longer work.
A Husband’s Call Brought Hope
Seeing how worried she had become, Mercedes’ husband made a phone call to Walker Firm PC dba Casa de la Justicia.
The legal team listened to their story and immediately put them at ease.
Most importantly, they explained that Mercedes would pay nothing out of pocket for help with her Disability case. If they didn’t win, she wouldn’t owe attorney fees.
For the first time in months, Mercedes felt she wasn’t facing the fight alone.
Building the Case the Right Way
Many people assume Social Security looks at only one medical condition.
It doesn’t.
Walker Firm recognized that Mercedes’ Disability wasn’t caused by just her spina bifida or just her Achilles injury. It was the combination of both conditions that made it impossible for her to continue working.
The legal team gathered the medical records, documented how both conditions limited her ability to perform her job, and built a complete picture of why she could no longer maintain full-time employment.
That made the difference.
The Result
Mercedes was approved for Social Security Disability benefits.
Today, she receives approximately $1,200 every month—money that helps pay the rent, buy groceries and gives her family the financial stability they desperately needed after she lost her ability to work.
She now tells friends and family that making that one phone call to Walker Firm PC dba Casa de la Justicia was one of the best decisions they could have made.
