Alison Bosch | Austin Social Security Lawyer

I was raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I played & marched in my high school band, rode & showed a family friend's Arabian horse, and somehow survived my hair and fashion choices of the 1980s. I still, however, firmly adore and defend the decade's music.

I attended Texas A&M University in College Station for my undergraduate degree and all of the enriching non-academic "education" that being a Fightin' Texas Aggie involves. I helped build Bonfires. I sang in the Aggie Women's Chorus. I pledged a sorority. I spent my senior summer interning with the Walt Disney World College Program in Orlando, Florida. In case you're wondering, yes-- it was pretty magical! Also, making soft pretzels and serving ice-cream in Pinocchio Village-themed lederhosen all Florida Summer long is exhausting.

In 1996 I moved to Austin where I spent the next ten years with companies including Dell, Inc., Four Seasons Hotels, and AT&T Wireless. I worked in a variety of sales, customer service, and tech support roles. Then, in a plot twist that would change my future path, I earned my paralegal certificate and took a job as a case manager for a local Social Security disability attorney. I heard things. I saw things, I learned things. About how very broken our Social Security disability system is.

That experience revealed the prevalent need for Social Security disability claimant representation and led me to attend Texas Wesleyan University School of Law in Ft. Worth-- now Texas A&M School of Law. Since becoming licensed to practice in 2010, I have exclusively represented disability claimants through the SSA's administrative appeals process.

Previously, I served people living in Texas. Now in our post-Covid world, I can represent clients not only in Texas but several other states as well, through remote telephonic and video hearing appearances.
