Fountain Valley Social Security Disability Lawyer

At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen, we help individuals in Fountain Valley who are no longer able to work due to a disabling medical condition. Whether you are applying for Social Security Disability benefits or appealing a denial, we bring over 30 years of experience guiding clients through the SSDI and SSI process in California. Our goal is to handle the legal burden so you can focus on your health and daily needs.

SSDI and SSI – What You Need to Know

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is available to people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) helps individuals with limited income and resources, even if they have never worked. We review each client’s background and medical situation to determine eligibility and handle the paperwork required to move the claim forward.

Common Reasons Disability Claims Are Denied

A large percentage of initial disability applications are denied. This can happen due to:

  • Missing or incomplete medical records
  • Errors or omissions on application forms
  • Not following doctor-recommended treatment
  • Income or asset levels above program limits

We address these issues thoroughly and prepare your case for the appeals process when necessary.

The Disability Claim Process

We assist clients at all stages of the Social Security Disability process:

  • Initial Application: We ensure forms are accurate and complete.
  • Reconsideration: If denied, we file an appeal and submit additional evidence.
  • Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: We represent you before the judge and prepare you for what to expect.
  • Appeals Council and Federal Court: If needed, we continue fighting for your claim at the next level.

We manage all communication with the Social Security Administration and track deadlines to keep your case on schedule.

Hiring our firm gives you direct access to a team that understands Social Security Disability law and the local process. Our services include:

How Long Does the Process Take?
