Joshua Eyestone is a Texas disability lawyer at Heard & Smith, L.L.P., who helps clients with Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income matters. His work centers on protecting disabled and low-income individuals who need guidance through complex benefits processes. He brings a service-focused background, Spanish communication skills, and practical legal experience to clients facing financial pressure, medical challenges, and uncertainty about disability claims, eligibility, hearings, and long-term benefits support.

Joshua earned his B.A. in Spanish from Pennsylvania State University in 1995 and his J.D. from St. Mary’s University School of Law in 2004. During law school, he obtained a third-year student bar card and helped indigent clients through the St. Mary’s University School of Law Center for Legal and Social Justice, building early experience in public service and client advocacy.

Joshua learned Spanish while living abroad in Venezuela during a semester as an undergraduate student. As a South Texas resident for more than 10 years, he regularly communicates with clients in Spanish. Before focusing on disability matters, he owned a law office that concentrated on family law, criminal defense, and property law, giving him a broad legal foundation for working with clients in difficult circumstances.
