Coats & Todd

I regret ever contacting Coats and Todd. Catherine Coats is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever encountered. I suffer from autism and at the advice of my doctor, I applied for SSDI. I went through the intake process with coats and todd and a few days later, received a letter from Catherine Coats insinuating that I was not disabled and did not have a case. This was even after several doctors and counselors had documented otherwise. I then sent a message to them expressing my dissatisfaction with their response and got a personal phone call from Mrs. Coats. She proceeded to go on a tirade telling me that my condition was not severe and that I am capable of working; all without ever taking the time to learn the details of my case. Again, this contradicts everything my doctors have documented. She said because I have worked in the past, have a masters degree and since many famous people have autism, that automatically means I am not qualified to receive disability benefits. She even stalked my Facebook page and saw where I used to be self-employed (which I am no longer), and said that would also hurt my chances. She also proceeded to give me a lecture on what autism is and is not and told me I was wrong about how my autism affects me. She did all this knowing I am autistic and how such an attack could affect me mentally and emotionally. I would recommend that anyone with a mental disability seeking SSDI steer clear of this law firm. They are wolves in sheeps' clothing. They do not care about you unless they think you can put more money in their pockets.
