Attorney for SSI Benefits

Berkeley Parents Network > Reviews > Legal & Financial Services > Attorney for SSI Benefits


May 2003

I believe I'm having difficulty finding a job due to my disability during this time and age. Can you recommend a good SSI lawyer that specializes in disability so that it might be possible for me to collect SSI benefits. anon


Try Nancy McCombs at 800-511-2355 or 415-678-2626. Her assistants are a little spacey, but she is a very capable lawyer who won a difficult SSI case for my mother. anon
Try the folks at Disability Rights Advovcates. Or Phyllis Olin. Her number is 526-7217. I don't know if she is still practicing, but if not, she can probably give you some referrals. Ariel
The Hawkins Center in Richmond is a non-profit that handles SSI cases, no charge or sliding scale. Don't have the number off the top of my head, but they're in the book. Good Luck! anon
Richard Gutstadt in downtown Oakland did a great job for me when I had to appeal an SSI ruling stating I shouldn't have been awarded disability in the first place (I'd had a stroke), and that I owed them the $48,000 in payments collected over 2 years. Got the ruling reversed completely. A smart guy with a sense of humor and a social conscience. (510) 451-8370 anon
