Overview
Raised in West Texas, Richard Fischer is relentlessly dedicated to serving his community. The skills he developed at Texas Tech University School of Law, where he graduated cum laude, allowed him not only to understand but to master the intricacies of personal injury and social security disability law. His family’s experiences and struggles when his father could not work have equipped him with a profound empathy for those in similar situations as a Social Security disability attorney.
Richard Fischer, an experienced SSI lawyer, represents his clients in the Abilene, Odessa, Lubbock, San Angelo, and Midland, Texas, areas with a wealth of experience both in and out of the courtroom. He knows the value of the Social Security program firsthand, as his late father became unable to work while Richard was in law school.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
