The Milam Law is a Fresno Social Security Disability Benefits Law Firm focusing solely on receiving satisfactory results for Social Security applicants who need help in getting their claims accepted.

Our practice is exclusively focused on Social Security disability, and Mr. Milam has experience in Social Security disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits that is unparalleled in Northern California.

We know how to help you understand and prepare for the initial client interview. Our firm will help you develop a personal plan to win your case in person and in writing. We will educate you on those things that you need to deal with and take care of, and the parts of the process that we can handle for you.

There are few law firms in the area who handle SSD and SSI claims at every stage of the process, from the initial application to appeals in federal district and circuit courts. We do. Our attorneys and staff are available to answer your questions and concerns by phone, by e-mail or face to face.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Our area of focus includes:

- Disabling Injuries & Conditions

Whatever type of disability you have and no matter how long you have been unable to work - it isn't what you know or what your friends and family know that counts. Only a very few of our clients have had sufficient knowledge of the Social Security and medical systems to handle even a part of their claim process. An old saying is "a fool has himself for an attorney." The same could be true for someone trying to fight the Government on his or her own. Decades of work involving SSD and SSI claims has allowed us to help people suffering from a broad spectrum of physical and mental impairments.

- Social Security Disability (SSD)

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are designed to help people who are unable to work or support themselves due to a disability. This benefit program, which is distinct from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), is run by the Social Security Administration (SSA). In order to be entitled to SSD benefits, a person has to have worked a sufficient number of years and paid sufficient Social Security taxes. Our firm provides assistance to those who are disabled and need assistance applying for SSD benefits. We also represent individuals throughout California's Central Valley who need to appeal denied SSD claims. SSD and SSI benefits are all that we do as a firm and our significant experience

- SSI Benefits/Supplemental Security Income

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a disability need-based program that is intended to help those who would not otherwise qualify for SSDI or whose SSDI payments would be very low. In general, people who have not earned enough work credits, those who have never worked, and those who became disabled before they could work and children with disabilities can all obtain SSI benefits. We offer experienced legal help for SSI claims across California's Central Valley. This is all that we do. Since founding our practice in 1990, attorney Jeffrey Milam and the rest of our team have helped clients from Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno and throughout Northern California obtain the disability benefits that they deserve.

- ERISA/Long-Term Disability Benefits

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, otherwise known as ERISA, is not easy to understand. The complex language of insurance policies, and how those policies work within the law, can often make the process of pursuing long-term disability benefits very difficult. It is important to have someone with extensive experience and legal knowledge guide you through the ERISA long-term disability claims process. The complexity of long-term disability cases comes from determining whether a medical condition is a disability, and whether that disability will prevent a person from working. With an experienced lawyer on your side, you can confidently present your case.

- Immigrant Disability

Although the eligibility rules are more complicated for immigrants, the actual disability claims process is very much the same. The bigger problems faced by immigrants involve unfair biases, economic disadvantages and language or cultural barriers. If you are an immigrant living in California's Central Valley, and you are struggling to cope with a disability, our attorneys can help you with your Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income claim. Our firm handles immigrant disability claims throughout the Central Valley, from Bakersfield to Sacramento. There are no costs are fees to pay up front. We only get paid if we obtain SSD or SSI benefits on your behalf.

- Supplemental Security Income/Disabled Child Benefits

When a child is disabled, that child may depend upon financial assistance and medical treatment for the rest of his or her life. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has two programs for children who require disability benefits, including Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). In order to recover benefits for your children, you and your family have to meet income and resource criteria. The rules for disabled child benefits are complex, especially SSDI benefits, and it can be difficult and frustrating for parents to understand all of them. Our firm can advise you on the law and your rights. If you wish to file a claim for benefits, we can help you through the process as effectively and efficiently as possible.

- Social Security Benefits Appeal

If the Social Security Administration (SSA) finds that you have received too much money in your Social Security disability (SSD) or Supplement Security Income (SSI) check, you may receive a notice of overpayment. There are many ways that an overpayment could happen, many of which are not your fault. Unfortunately, it does not matter who was at fault if you are overpaid. The government will still expect you to repay the money. There could be a way to avoid the repayment. Our lawyers can help you analyze the situation and understand what your rights are in the process.

- SSD Application

If your injury has resulted in a disability and you are unable to work, it may be in your best interest to file for Social Security disability (SSD) benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will consider a person disabled if he or she is unable to work due to a medical condition, and is unable to do other work that might also be available. If you are disabled, our firm's attorneys have years of experience helping people successfully applied for disability benefits. We understand the intricacies of the law and where people often go wrong when applying for benefits. We can help you file a claim and advise you on the entire process, as necessary, to prepare you to win your claim, including any possible administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings.
