At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen, we help individuals in Yorba Linda who are unable to work due to a disabling physical or mental health condition. Whether you are applying for Social Security Disability benefits or appealing a denial, we bring more than 30 years of experience handling SSDI and SSI claims throughout California. Our team is here to offer professional guidance and support every step of the way.
SSDI and SSI – Know the Difference
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is available to individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is based on financial need and is available to individuals with limited income and resources. We evaluate your eligibility and handle the entire claims process to help ensure that nothing is overlooked.
Why Disability Claims Are Denied
Many initial claims are denied for reasons such as:
- Incomplete or incorrect application details
- Insufficient medical evidence
- Not following medical treatment plans
- Income or asset levels above SSI limits
We identify the issues and prepare a thorough appeal with the documentation needed to strengthen your case.
Guiding You Through the Disability Process
We assist Yorba Linda residents at all stages of the Social Security Disability process:
- Initial Application: We prepare and file your claim with all supporting records.
- Reconsideration: If denied, we appeal the decision and submit updated documentation.
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: We represent you at your hearing and help prepare your testimony.
- Further Appeals: If necessary, we continue your case to the Appeals Council or federal court.
We manage all communication with the Social Security Administration and keep you informed throughout.
How We Support You
When you work with our firm, you can expect:
- Detailed case evaluation and claim preparation
- Help organizing medical and employment documentation
- Full representation at hearings and during appeals
- Regular updates and clear, honest communication
We focus on removing the stress from the process and working toward the benefits you may be entitled to receive.
How Long Will It Take?
Initial decisions typically take a few months. If your case proceeds to a hearing or additional appeals, the process may take longer. We stay proactive to move your case forward and avoid delays.
No Upfront Costs
You do not pay anything unless we win your case. We work on a contingency fee basis, and all legal fees are reviewed and approved by the Social Security Administration.

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!
