For 3 years, Mr. Ortiz and his office, have effectively navigated my personal journey through the Social Security Administration and all it entails. They have been with me every step of the way in an arduous process. The open communication and the extra reminders have greatly benefited me and as a team we have nearly completed the 3rd step, which is a hearing before a judge. Come what may, they have done above and beyond what I expected. He is well deserving of the 2026 Award for excellence.
