Angel Torres
Ohio State’s Student Housing Legal Clinic
The road to receiving Social Security Disability and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits can be filled with complex and frustrating twists and turns – there has been a recent trend toward higher denial rates. Attorney Angel Torres takes pride in making his clients be as informed and at ease about the process as possible. He will listen compassionately to your individual needs and circumstances and you will not feel like just another number. These are critical elements to success with your case.

He was born in Puerto Rico and has made Lancaster his home since the age of 8. Angel served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves, achieving the rank of corporal and an honorable discharge.
