This is a long time due review. I am writing this review for attorney Lisa Mouradian with a heart overflowing with gratitude. Words cannot adequately express the depth of my appreciation for the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts she has shown in handling my disability denial appeal, which took a whole year in 2023 to resolve. From the very beginning, Lisa's compassion, professionalism, and expertise provided me with the confidence and hope I desperately needed. Lisa is extremely friendly and patient and always talk to me slowly and clearly because I have a severe hearing impairment. Lisa's meticulously analyzed every detail of my case, advocated fiercely on my behalf, and never gave up, even when the Judge had handled the case carelessly that made the case even more challenging to handle. Lisa's commitment to justice and her relentless pursuit of a positive outcome have not only impacted my life profoundly but have also restored my faith in the legal system. Because of Lisa's hard work and determination, I now have the opportunity to move forward with the support and resources I need. I am deeply grateful for Lisa's patience, kindness, and encouragement throughout this challenging journey. Her belief in me and my case has made an indelible impression, and I will always remember the incredible difference Lisa has made in my life. Thank you, Lisa, from the bottom of my heart. Your dedication and passion for your work have truly changed my life for the better, and I will be forever grateful. read more

These people took advantage of my disability, which is severe long-term and short-term memory loss. They were very irresponsible, and didn't update Social Security with my PO Box. I had moved out of my apartment, and let disability help center know that. The attorneys office was fully aware that I moved out of that apartment because I could no longer afford it since I'm not working . They failed to give Social Security my mailing address which is the PO Box, so I missed two doctors appointments that I was supposed to go to. When I called for an update because it's been so long, the attorneys office lied to me and told me that I was denied, because one of my doctors failed to send my medical records so that it was an automatic denial. That is a lie. They didn't because of my memory loss. I told them to send me a timeline sheet of everything, a year later... And nowhere did it say my doctor failed to submit medical records. It says that I was denied because of missing two doctors appointments! And then I called Social Security directly, and they said they were never updated with my PO Box. Once I caught on, I called disability health center and told the receptionist and the business manager my concerns... the business manager told me that she would call me back. I decided to call again, maybe a month later, and the receptionist told me that she could leave a message for the business manager, I told her that I am very disappointed that no one has called me back, and that she was taking advantage of my memory loss, and I no longer want the office representing me and call me back. They went ahead and sent me a letter saying that they will no longer represent me, however, I never received a phone call with an apology or anything at all. So unprofessional and completely disheartening. I'm going through the most trying time of my young life, suffering from memory loss because of a spontaneous health issue called unprovoked and nocturnal seizures. The trauma to the brain has given me, memory loss, and for them to take advantage of me is completely disgusting. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. Absolutely awful front desk staff, truly reprehensible people. They've been yanking me around for almost two full years now for no reason and they're never available to speak with you. Their email inboxes bounce emails back all the time. They don't communicate with you at all. Terrible company all around. read more

This place is super attentive to your calls and needs when they're trying to get you to sign on the dotted line for 20% of your payout, but once they get that signature, they're absolutely awful. A seemingly high turnover rate has had me go through 3 or 4 case managers in less than a year and I've been trying to get a call back from anyone there for months and nobody has ever called me back. I also keep getting notices from the Social Security Administration that my case will be closed if they don't get the required information in time (which I've given Disability Help Center), so I suspect that they're not even doing their job for me. This could end up costing me a lot of money from their failure to hold up their end of the contract. I do not recommend them one bit. read more

I get calls from them , they call and hang up. I have no idea why most of the time they don't leave a message. It's very annoying , I call then back and they always have an excuse. "We are having phone problems " or they say they did not call " etc... but when I do get receptionist on phone they do have info about my case they wanted to tell me about . It's been going on for 5 months I call them and leave a message and it's rare I can reach person I need to speak to- I called them last week and still waiting for return call Today they call at 744am and as usual hang up and don't leave a message And nobody in office knows why How hard is it to leave a message ???? read more

Is there an elder or someone in your family that needs help from the Social Security Administration? Before you head down to one of those bureaucratic nightmare Social Security offices, best to line up all your ducks in a row at the Disability Help Center.

Whether it's SSI or SSDI-the employees at the Help Center know all the ins-and-outs.

I visited the office to help a friend who was applying and was very impressed with all that they do here. The non-profit Help Center offers all the tools needed to get the benefits due you.

Disability Help Center - Social Security Law Near Me - San Diego, California

I would like to say thank you to all the rep. agents and caseworkers that helped me into getting my disability claim: (Mrs. Candice, Mrs. Jeanett, Mr. Merrigan, my lawyer and judge). When I got out the military, I got extremely ill after being exposed to radiation(before getting HD). However, it's been hard in founding specialist doctors that can help me or others like myself with these medical issues. It's took a little while being processed, but very worth it. They truly cared about my situation and case in answering questions, recommendations and giving advices. Again, Thank you Disability Help Center, San Diego. read more

I cannot thank Margaret Navarro and the Disability Help Center adequately for the assistance they provided for these past three years in obtaining benefits for our adult son.

Thank you all for your help to obtain SSI benefits. read more

My boyfriend just got out of the military with a service related disability. Jason E. was extremely friendly and helpful in helping him figure out if he was a good candidate to start a case.

I've been struggling to get disability for 10 years because the paperwork and process is so confusing and hard when you're disabled. I finally got approved thanks to the help from everyone here. Everyone in office is so helpful and even the front desk can assist with so much and always treated me with kindness and respect. I didn't have one issue in the year I worked with them. I really appreciate their help more than they know. read more

I find that disability help center did a awesome job for me. I recommend them to anyone going on disability. Thank you again your center is the greatest.. read more

Ok, the reason I call this law firm is because I seen a good review from what appears to be a veteran. Well I took the review at face value and made the call. When the nice lady answered the phone. I ask to speak with a accredited VA attorney. She proceeded to tell me that that I need to call another number and gave me a gentleman's name. I thought to myself. Hold on...I then asked. Is this person your referring me to a part of your law firm. She attempted to dance around the question and stated that he a great resource and she was instructed to pass on his information. I say, I understand so what law firm does he work for??? She then told me that he works for County Veteran Service Office. I say, interesting again because I was looking for an someone not associated with VSO. So I did what I think most would do. I jumped on the internet and proceeded to look this person up. Guess what, I could find anything on this person they were referring me to. I thought that's strange, why isn't he listed as practicing attorney anywhere? So he probably is a great person to represent a veteran,however I was looking for someone that I could at least find something about them. Only thing I found was that the person works for the VSO. The reason this firm got 1 star from me is they advertised they take on veterans cases. Since I wasn't able to speak with an attorney and just an office person. I feel a little bait and switched. I'm a veteran looking for an accredited attorney with a law firm. Someone who is listed under a law firm. Nothing against VSO, they've helped many of veterans. However I expected to speak with an attorney hear because the review prior stated they were helpful. They being the law firm. Tell me, what they penalty for a bad referral??? Who pays for in the end??? The veteran does with wasted time and effort. Ok, I followed up on they're referral and the person wasn't an attorney. He is a VSO rep and I called specifically for an attorney. Maybe, the lady miss spoke... however that's my review. Moral of the story here. If I call and ask for attorney do not refer me to a person that is not an attorney. :( read more

I had a horrible experience. During my initial consultation with a case manager, it was made clear to me at the so-called "Disability Help Center" that I had a good case for Social Security Disability and I would be a potential Client. However, my proactive approach to my Case, a case pending an appeal for reconsideration, is a strong case well prepared and waiting for a response from the Social Security Department. "it would be wrong for us to charge you 25% for no effort on our part" I was well aware of that, I never asked for legal representation, just counsel. As the so-called "Disability Help Center" and my not being an actual client, I never thought twice when I was handed a Physical Residual Functional Capacity Questionnaire to provide my Physician. A format that allows my physician to answer specific questions improving the integrity of my case. in the case my appeal was denied because of my age, I found those gestures of honesty, support and good will for a potential client Genuine and worthy of representing me at a hearing. Unfortunately, when I fax the questionnaire back to the D.H.C office, I believe that amazing Case worker I met was admonish for her personal attention on my case. Since that meeting, when I needed them the most, on Several Occasions it was made clear to me from a rude receptionist at the so-called Disability Help Center that I Am Not A Client. I am Now a client of their Competitor in the same building. Jorgensen Law. Incredibly selective of who they chose as a client, I feel safe, comfortable and at peace awaiting my hearing. . . . And I don't feel like a client in a processing factory with a price tag of 25% read more

When I first heard about this place I thought it was going to be like every other disability place. But little did I know their customer service and knowledge blew me away. Their case manager Rosie knew her stuff and is always on top of things. I would highly recommend this form to all of my family members. read more

I normally don't write reviews but the staff here is great! They are welcoming and the customer service is superb. Everything that I needed to know was explained in great detail, everyone there really makes you feel confident in their services. read more

I live in Arizona and I've been trying to assist my multiply disabled brother SSDI. They have been helping me every step of the way over the phone, and provided me with good emotional support as well. I'm thankful that I can use Disability Help Center instead of paying for an attorney. Thanks! read more

I stopped by the help center and was helped with a high level of professionalism and knowledge from the staff! These people are awesome

I came to the disability help center to find help with my benefits. Everyone there was so knowledgeable, especially the Office Manager, Rosie. I met with her first and she explained the process and what to expect. They started the process for me and they did tell me that this process can take six months to two years. My case went all the way to a hearing so after about 2 1/2 years I finally received my benefits. Even though the process was long the disability help center was there to help me and guide me through the way. read more

I went to this place for help. If anyone else goes here, I suggest you take a dictionary and show them what the word help means. What a waste of time! read more

Poor communication resulted in a big wAste of almost three years. And their informing me of denial AFTER the appeal period had passed is symbolic of their level of professionalism. Potentially they could work out - wouldn't count on them much more than you can count on paying rent with the trifecta daily double at Del Mar this summer! They opened a branch in north county and never told me nor transferred my info to anyone new. Prior to this: things were going swell. I would keep your guard up if you use the services here. read more

I don't often write reviews, but I thought it was important to share my experience. I walked into the disability help center looking for some extra resources and info regarding my Social Security disability case. The office manager happened to be up front in the lobby. Her name was Rosie. She was really helpful and answered all my questions. I was in good hands. They specialize in Social Security disability, however, she was very resourceful and helped me tremendously. 5 stars to this place! Thank you, Rosie. read more

DO NOT USE THEM!!! VERY DISHONEST!!!! My case was not hard. It took one year to get approved. Also social security never denied me. When I first called in I was informed that they help people with low income. Me having no income since I could not work at all my first case manager said she, Rosie, that there is no fee unless we have to use a lawyer in which there is a 25% fee (which would be if I was denied, which I wasn't). When I got my approval letter a year later I noticed social security stating that there is a chance the "attorneys" can only get a specific amount. I called in to speak to my new case manager, Ruth, who informed me that yes they would be taking a fee. I asked that the fee amount was she looked in my file and said 10% (told two different things now), since they didn't have to fight it. I thought they did help with paperwork, so 10% is fair. I called in today, 10/20/2015, and I was told now 25%. Ruth also stated that should be never say 10% even though she did, and I documented it. Apparently that doesn't matter. I trusted them, should have recording every conversation I had with them. Ruth also had the audacity to state that I was trying to rip them off. I originally called in to just get an update if they received their 10%. IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET CHARGED 25% GO TO A REAL ATTORNEY TO HELP YOU!!! read more

Poor service all round. Kathryn would pretend she never got emails or phone calls I left. When she ever did call back she would invariably ask for information that I had already given her. It looks like she has now left but is anyone checking her emails? Of course not. Did they let me know she had left? Of course not. Now they have their check they cant be bothered answering any questions. It should also be worth noting that they imply their help is free which of course you will find out it is not. read more

hello world I have a disability where I can see things others can not... long story short I haven't been able to hold a job for longer then a few months the longest job I have ever held is 11 months... back in '08... and this company was able to get me my disability check with in 6 months, instead of three years... granted now we have to play a new game... I was told I was going to get $931.00 for disability and now there saying im only getting 631... that only covers rent... what about trash $94, electric $150-$200, car insurance $70, and gas $80! to drive the car! that's an additional $444.00 dollars! read more

We worked with Disability Help Center who was a lifesaver for us. They were able to navigate us through processes and helped us immensely with our disabled adult daughter. They patiently explained program(s) to us, did the paperwork for us and put things in place. Prior, we had spent many sleepless nights worrying about what was available to our daughter. Now, we can rest assured that our daughter will be taken care of in the future. Thank you, Disability Help Center! read more

i called them about a year ago & they were very helpful with info on my Veteran's Disability Benefits. The guy I talked to went to law school & worked for the VA processing VA disability benefits for a long time, if i recall correctly. He was articulate, intelligent, caring, professional, very knowledgeable & I appreciated his straight talk & empathy. I highly recommend this place. I highly recommend NOT going to the DAV & the other Veteran's Benefits helpers in the Mission Valley, as they are incompetent, under-trained, over worked, not that educated, swamped, tired, & although they were respectful to me I have seen them snap & mishandle other veterans. read more

I am always looking to reward good service and people with integrity. I found both (maybe I was just lucky). Sofia knows her suff!

Sofia said I had a good case and didn't I trust her! That was after two denial's, while waiting for the date for my hearing with the ALJ. I didn't talk to the attorney Holly, till two days before hearing. And trust me she had never seen my case before that. An now I'm going on thirty days after my UNFAVOURABLE DECISION, (you only have sixty days to file an appeal) and Holly hasn't called me yet, (could be because she'd have to read the 13pg Decision) and I've left many messages for Sofia, and nothing. I'm going to have to find a ride there. Stay tuned! read more

I had a great experience with the Disability Help Center. After multiple applications and subsequent denials, I was at a community support group, when a representative of the Help Center told us they help people win their benefits. She (I think her name was Charline), explained that everything was free, but if I wanted them to "represent" me, their would be a fee. With my background, I felt like if I just had some guidance at the key times, I would be able to handle things on my own. Turns out I was right. When I went into the office the specialist (Janette) was very up front with me and She quickly put me at ease. I also learned that they have a very good track record, which made me feel good. I gave the DHC a 5 star because it exceeded all of my expectations. I got free help on several occasions; the employees were great; and I was approved after multiple denials. So if I had to rate the specifics, it'd look like this... Office: The office was clean and located in a relatively nice location (near Balboa Park). Considering the office is near downtown San Diego, I wasn't sure if I would have to park using a meter. Happily, the lot is big enough that I was able to park on site. Employees: From my first phone call to my last visit, the workers at the DHC were awesome. The girls at the front desk were both very nice and professional. The disability specialist that helped me (Sophia), was really good about evaluating my claim and then giving me the necessary resources to support my approval. Pros: People were great and seemed to really know the disability requirements. I was warned of the common mistakes people make and advised on things I could do to win my case. Turns out... they were right and after many attempts on my own, I was finally approved. Cons: Most of my frustration has to do with how long the social security administration takes to make a decision, but that really isn't DHC's fault. Overall: I feel so much gratitude for the help I received and the employees that gave of their time to help me. I was so desperate and scared, but when I recieved my letter from Social Security saying I was Approved, I couldn't believe it. I was so happy with the help I received. I strongly recommend DHC! read more
