At Skinner and Associates, we are non-attorney representatives that work with disabled individuals throughout Northern California and the entire United States.

We Are Social Security Disability Advocates

We are not attorneys nor are we a national organization that processes mass quantities of claims without ever seeing the client. We are highly experienced professionals who specialize in Social Security disability matters. We have been authorized through the Social Security Administration to handle all matters relating to disability claims from initial applications through hearings and appeals.

We believe our clients are not a number, but each a unique and individual case. We are committed to helping those in need receive the benefits they deserve. That is why we practice only Social Security Law. It is what we do! It is all we do!

When Should You Contact Us?

If you are no longer able to work and have been told your condition will keep you from doing so for 12 months or longer; you should apply for Social Security disability benefits with the assistance of Skinner and Associates.

If you have already applied and been denied; please contact us to help you with your claim. We represent those who apply for SSDI, SSI, and other Social Security matters pertaining to the disability process.

The Skinner and Associates Way

Social Security Disability Process

At our initial consultation meeting for Social Security disability, we will determine if you have a chance of meeting Social Security’s disability standards. If you do, we will begin the claims process for you.  If we do not feel that you meet Social Security’s disability standards, we will tell you!   Social Security’s disability standards are difficult to meet.

At a minimum your disability must prevent you from performing any work on a full-time basis in the national economy and must be expected to last at least 12 months.

Application Process

The application process is complicated and nationwide over 75% of the people who file their initial application are denied. Of those who request an appeal or reconsideration of the decision, only about 15% are approved nationwide. A significant percentage of claimants must appear at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) before they finally receive their benefits. It typically takes over 24 months to have an ALJ hearing scheduled.

Statistically, at every stage, those who are represented by a qualified and experienced professional have a better chance of being approved. For that reason, the vast majority of claimants would benefit from hiring a professional representative to advocate for them.

Rates & Fees

We work on a contingency basis and are paid only when we get your case approved. Once approved, we are paid 25% of your back pay total with a maximum of $7,200, whichever is the lesser of the two. Our fee is the same no matter when we begin our work for you, whether during the initial claim stage or before your hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. These fees are closely regulated by the government, and all fees are calculated and disbursed by the Social Security Administration.

Working Hard For You

Our motto is: “Doing what’s best for the client.” We treat each individual with respect and dignity, answering each question you may have along the way. While we cannot change the unfortunate circumstances of your disability, we can relieve some of your burden by making the process easier for you. You can depend on our experienced staff to build your individualized case using your testimony, medical records and our in-depth knowledge of Social Security Law.
