Powerful SSD, SSI And Railroad Retirement Disability Attorneys In Southern California
A Premier Disability Law Firm That Focuses On You
The process of applying for disability benefits can be challenging for someone who is not familiar with the system. More than 80 percent of the people who start the process on their own have their initial claims turned down. For that reason, we continually collaborate with each client on a personal level to allow them to understand the process. When you work with our experienced lawyers, we take care of the details and guide clients every step of the way. At Leland Law, based in Whittier, California, our lawyers draw on decades of combined experience to help disabled people obtain benefits from Social Security Disability (SSD), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), railroad retirement benefits and other disability programs. While we draw on substantial experience, it is our drive to obtain justice for each client — in each new case – that sets us apart as a premier SSD and SSI advocate in the Los Angeles area.

A Legacy Of Focus And Compassion That Focuses On Your Future
Our family-owned disability law firm has deep roots in Southern California. Our founding law partner and mentor, Judith S. Leland, opened the Law Offices of Judith S. Leland in 1976 to help disabled Californians obtain the disability benefits they deserve. For over 40 years, Judith served her clients with skill, dedication and compassion. She was a former SSI judge, who represented clients at all levels of the adjudication process, from initial application to Social Security Disability hearings to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Her desire to connect with clients remains part of the DNA of the family of lawyers at Leland Law. We continue to honor Judith’s legacy through our commitment to fighting for justice in the disability claims process.
