The Disability Law Clinic staff is comprised of California State Bar licensed attorneys specializing in disability law and non-attorney disability rights advocates.
Denied Social Security Disability Benefits? Social Security applicants who have received their second denial of benefits may request a hearing before an administrative law judge. These are formal hearings under the auspices of the federal government, and we recommend hiring an attorney to represent you. Our staff of three experienced attorneys provide represention at these hearings. We work on a contingency basis, so we do not require any payment from you when we take your case. We do not charge for copying, telephone calls, transportation, or other costs of developing your case. We do require you to sign a contract that directs Social Security to pay 25% of your retroactive benefits (with a maximum cap amount of $5300) to Community Resources for Independence. Our attorneys are salaried - all award monies go to provide services for people with disabilities. Call to make an appointment with an attorney, or come to a Monday afternoon orientation to meet with an attorney without an appointment. Disability Benefits Our Benefits Counselors provide information for Social Security recipients returning to the work force, and assist with Waivers of Overpayment of Social Security benefits. Discrimination Staff will explain the rights of persons with disabilities under the many provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as all other areas of Disability Law, including Housing, Employment, and Education. We will also provide assistance in filing complaints and securing legal representation for persons with disabilities whose rights have been infringed upon under these laws. A.D.A. Legal Consultation Services A.D.A. Legal Consultation Service (ALCS) is designed to help attorneys, business owners and municipalities better understand the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as all other areas of Disability Law, such as Special Education, Fair Housing, Social Security, and other State and Federal Civil Rights Laws. Our services include case evaluation, training, research and writing, ADA compliance reviews, site evaluations, and expert witness testimony. Disability Law Clinic Staff
