I really can't say enough good things about this office. Amir and Maggie were kind, understanding,…read moreand treated me with a lot of respect. Applying for disability can feel really overwhelming, but they made it so much easier. I was able to do everything over the phone and they make it such an easy process. they always kept me updated, answering all my questions, and walking me through everything step by step. They were always professional and clearly knew what they were doing, and they got back to me quickly whenever I needed help. Because of all their hard work, my disability claim was approved. I honestly felt like they cared about me as a person, not just another case. If you need help with a disability claim, I'd definitely recommend them. Their support and experience really made a difference for me, and I'm very grateful for everything they did.

If you're reading this because you're overwhelmed by the SSDI process, I was in your exact position…read more-- confused, denied twice, and honestly exhausted. Hiring Dr. Amir Niazmand at California Disability Advocates was the turning point that changed everything for me. From day one, he immediately identified why my original SSDI application failed and what had gone wrong during the earlier stages. His ability to break down the issues clearly -- and without judgment -- gave me more clarity in a single conversation than I had gotten in months of dealing with SSA on my own. What stood out most was his communication and organization. He handled every single SSA message promptly, guided me through each step, and prepared me thoroughly: * A month before the hearing (strategy and evidence review) * A week before (fine-tuning my testimony and expectations) * The day before (last-minute confidence check-in) He never rushed me and answered every question with patience and expertise. Just a couple of days before my ALJ hearing, I received the result from a new MRI assessment that supported my disability. Dr. Amir submitted it immediately, and the judge actually reviewed it before our hearing -- something that could easily have been missed without an advocate who stays on top of everything. I was also surprised by how quickly things moved. I hired him in June and received a court date in November -- much sooner than I expected. And when the day arrived, my ALJ hearing lasted less than 20 minutes, even though these hearings typically run 45 minutes to an hour. The judge had no further questions beyond what Dr. Amir had prepared me for, which speaks to how strong and organized my case presentation was. I walked in nervous and a bit overwhelmed, but I walked out feeling understood and represented. For anyone wondering about the cost: yes, SSDI representatives typically receive 25% of your backpay, capped by federal law (currently around $7,200). This is a standard, one-time fee that is only deducted after you win your case -- meaning if you're not approved, they don't get paid. In my experience, the level of preparation, communication, and the successful outcome I received made this more than worth it! If you're struggling with the SSDI process, don't wait months or years trying to decode the system alone. Dr. Amir Niazmand's expertise, preparation, and communication made an overwhelming process manageable -- and ultimately successful! I received word yesterday that I was fully approved. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Miss Lyons refused to talk to me on the phone and the rare times she responded to an email it was always weeks later. I could probably write a book on why you don't want her representing you.

As a physician who had practiced over decades, I never imagined I would repeatedly tell another…read moreprofessional (Matthew Bourhis) 'I trust you and I will follow your recommendations'. Like many physicians who were trained before the 90's, we accepted the tortuous days and sleepless nights as a commitment to our professions. When I became disabled, the shame, confusion and the uncertainty with filing disability claims took over my existence. Like many others, I was referred to another law group to fight for my disability claim. Looking for the right lawyer is similar to the right physician. My gut feeling after interviewing the previous firm and then with Matt, I immediately felt the reassurance that he believes in my illness and wants to fight my denied disability claim truthfully. It took almost two years to get a settlement even though our main objective to fight for Bad Faith was unsuccessful as biases exist in the judicial system. Matt listened to my endless stories and frustrations but he never once made me feel unheard. His calm demeanor and his desires to fight for the truth kept my hopes up. Kudos to Ann Marie for dealing with the back and forth emails and she has always been very kind and patient. I would highly recommend Matt to any of my colleagues and family members.

Although the specific dollar value of my case made it disadvantageous enough to push to take it to trial, I was satisfied with the settlement he was able to recover on my behalf and the persistence and professionalism he exhibited while representing me. Whether it is a 5 figure case or a 5 million dollar case, wouldn't make a difference as to how effective Mr. Bourhis has proven himself to me to be very capable of representing his clients best interests!

Very glad thanks to the Yelp reviews I found the right experts to clarify my situation.

From the very first phone consultation I had with Navruz, I immediately knew she was who I wanted to represent me. She was extremely sharp, honest, responsive, all while at the same time, compassionate and empathetic. What differentiated Navruz from all the other attorneys I had spoken with was that I felt like she truly believed in me and my story- a sentiment that never wavered with her as our lawsuit progressed. Also, while other attorneys seemed to emphasize the lawsuit as the utmost priority in my life, Navruz's main focus was always to prioritize my wellbeing and future first. Throughout the lawsuit, I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge, work ethic, effective communication, and unwavering patience in educating me about the law and each step of the lawsuit. I always felt I was part of the process in every way. Though I knew I was in good hands throughout the process, it wasn't until I saw her in action that affirmed for me she was definitely the right choice. Though kind and compassionate with me, Navruz was a force to be reckoned with the other side. She was prepared, strategic, relentless, quick thinking, assertive, and never wavered in ensuring the best possible outcome for me. In the end, we were able to successfully resolve the case, and I was able to finally close this chapter of my life. Words cannot even begin to describe the amount of gratitude I have for Navruz, and it truly is an honor to have her by your side!

This was the first time I've hired an attorney for anything. We spoke with several before choosing Dina as she was responsive, empathetic, no-nonsense and has a great reputation along with the firm Vanaman German. I was nervous about the costs spinning out of control but thankfully, they did not. Dina was always clear about the financial aspect of things as well as the ins and outs of what was happening with our case. No one should have to hire an attorney to get a free appropriate education, but if things don't go well with the school district, or something just seems off, I cannot emphasize just how helpful it is to have a good attorney to help! I have no doubt we would have not gotten as good of a result without Dina and Vanaman German's help. Contrary to some warnings I'd gotten from others, having someone fight for us allowed me to avoid getting too hot-headed and damaging our relationship with our school district. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
