Social Security Disability Appeals Service in California

---

We fight denials. We reapply when the Social Security Administration closes the door. We handle the full appeals process for SSI and SSDI claims, so you do not have to navigate the system alone during one of the most stressful periods of your life.

Whether you are dealing with a long-term physical condition, behavioral health challenges, a veteran with P.T.S.D, a special needs child or adult, or a psychiatric diagnosis that requires ongoing medications and care, we analyze your case from every conceivable vantage point. No two claims are exactly the same, and we treat yours with the individual attention it deserves.

We serve claimants across the state of California, from individuals presently receiving general relief (GR) or general assistance (GA), to those with substantial work histories. And, yes, it is possible to draw both SSI and SSDI at the same time, when certain conditions are met. That's where the Social Security Administration will fight you the hardest. Like any insurance company, like social insurance provider, SSA, is likely to ignore you or offer you a pittance. We see it every day.

So, what have you got to lose, except more precious time and the benefits you deserve and that you have already prepaid for via  FICA payroll taxes of the same 6.2%, no matter how much (or how little) you earn?  When hard times have left you down-and-out, without income replacement, facing poverty wages, dismissal from work, or the end of workers' compensation, state disability, or unemployment benefits, we are the team that steps in. 

We don't have to tell you that getting approval from Washington, D.C., for SSI or SSDI is especially challenging. We see it all around us. We witness multiple retail chain store closures (and the jobs associated with them) and business consolidations (i.e., mergers and acquisitions), that lead to higher prices and fewer choices. We personally witness a mental health meltdown every day in these streets. We learn of a mass shooting somewhere in the world every month, if not every week. We witness ambulatory homeless people whose swollen limbs and hovering green flies serve as vectors of disease, pandemic, then endemic. As America goes, it seems, so goes the world.

America is deeply depressed and divided. And that is reflected in the 24/7 news cycle. We, at LEGAL OVERLOAD.COM, cannot work miracles nor change the world, but what we can do is to get you approved for SSI or SSDI. We have a database of thousands of archived cases and terminology that improve your chances of being approved. We have invested in education and the tools of the trade. 

We succeed when and where where you do: at the intersection of technology, common law, empathy, public interest, and common sense. Even things as simple as the identity or geographic region of the Administrative Law Judge (who hears your appeals case) can affect one's strategy before that judge. Social Security retirement, survivor's benefits, and disability law are a complex cadre of rules, regulations, and legal traditions that are buried in the legal practice guides. There are few affordable and accessible legal services alternatives out there. That's why we say, "We are far better." We are big enough to take on your case, but small enough to care.

The appeals process is designed to be complicated. Most people give up after the first denial. We do not. A thorough disability Social Security appeal requires strategy, documentation, and persistence. We do the legwork while you focus on your health and your family.

And because we believe in accountability, if we do not win, you do not pay.
