The Ortiz Law Firm is pleased to announce the addition of attorney Kelsie Nagele to its growing national disability law practice. Nagele joins the firm as an associate attorney, further strengthening the firm's ability to advocate for individuals pursuing Social Security Disability benefits.
Nagele brings more than a decade of professional experience spanning disability law, public policy, advocacy, and government affairs. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Notre Dame Law School and has built a career focused on representing individuals and advancing public-interest causes. Prior to joining Ortiz Law Firm, Nagele managed a caseload of Social Security Disability claims at all stages of the administrative process, from initial application through appeals, while also providing hands-on client support and case strategy development.
Before concentrating her practice on disability law, Nagele held senior roles in government affairs and policy advocacy, including serving as Director of Government Affairs for a large professional association and working in legislative and regulatory positions at both the state and federal levels. Her background includes experience with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, the Indiana Attorney General's Office, and the Executive Office of the President at the White House. This breadth of experience gives her a unique perspective on how law, policy, and administrative systems impact real people.
“Kelsie's experience and client-focused approach make her a strong addition to our team,” said Nick Ortiz, founder of Ortiz Law Firm. “She understands both the legal and human sides of disability claims, and her background in advocacy and policy enhances our ability to navigate complex cases and communicate effectively with our clients.”
At Ortiz Law Firm, Nagele will focus on representing disability claimants nationwide, working closely with the firm's legal team to prepare applications, develop medical and vocational evidence, and pursue appeals when benefits are denied.
The Ortiz Law Firm is a national disability law firm dedicated to helping individuals protect their right to disability benefits. With the addition of Nagele, the firm continues to expand its team while maintaining its commitment to personalized representation and experienced advocacy.
