Biography

My name is Tom Bothwell.

For over 45 years, I have helped people win the Social Security disability benefits they deserve.

My clients are not Social Security numbers. I have been in their homes, listened to their medical problems and represented them at hearings.

I have helped more people win Social Security benefits than any other attorney in Central Washington.
