At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen, we help individuals in La Habra who are no longer able to work due to a disabling physical or mental condition. Whether you are preparing your first Social Security Disability application or need to appeal a denial, our team brings over 30 years of experience guiding clients through the SSDI and SSI process in California. We are here to support you with clear communication, trusted representation, and personalized attention.
Understanding SSDI and SSI
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is for people who have paid into the Social Security system through past employment. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) supports individuals with limited income and assets, regardless of work history. We help determine your eligibility for one or both programs and handle all aspects of your claim or appeal.
Common Reasons Disability Claims Are Denied
Many applications are denied at the initial stage. Common reasons include:
- Lack of detailed or current medical documentation
- Incomplete or inaccurate application information
- Not following doctor-recommended treatments
- Earning income or holding assets above the SSI limits
We examine the cause of your denial and work to correct it, giving your appeal the strongest chance of approval.
What to Expect During the SSD Process
We represent clients in La Habra at every stage:
- Initial Application: We help complete and file your claim with proper supporting documents.
- Reconsideration: If denied, we prepare and submit a formal appeal.
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: We represent you before the judge and ensure you are fully prepared.
- Further Appeals: We continue your case through the Appeals Council or into federal court if necessary.
We handle all paperwork, filings, and deadlines to help reduce the stress of the process.

I am grateful for all of the great people at Law Offices of Norman J. Homen. They won my case and I definitely recommend them. I am Spanish speaking so with the help of Moises Aguirre, I was able to communicate clearly during the whole appeal process and answered any questions I had. Thank you!
