Dedicated to Helping Those in Need
For decades, Dr. Bill LaTour has been dedicated to helping Californians overcome difficulties in proving their disabilities and obtaining the benefits they need to make ends meet. While applying for Social Security should be easy, it unfortunately is the opposite. Federal law and the regulations regarding SSDI and SSI are quite complex, and sometimes they cross over with state agencies, which can make it even more tricky.
Getting the benefits you need can be complicated and overwhelming, with an incredible amount of obstacles in your way. It’s shocking how many people who truly need these benefits are denied on their first application. In fact, as many as 77% of those who apply for SSDI are denied for either medical or technical reasons at the initial stage. Even after an initial hearing, only 46% of applicants finally get their benefits.
Having representation from The Law Offices of Dr. Bill LaTour can help you to navigate the process of applying for benefits or challenging a denied claim. Our team can step up to handle the hard part of your case so you can focus on what’s important: your physical and mental health. We are here to help those in need to obtain the disability benefits to which they’re entitled.

Get Your Free Case ReviewWhat Is the Process for Getting Disability Benefits in California?
In California, you can apply for SSDI online, in person at a field office, or over the phone at 800-772-1213.
- Gather all the information and documents you need and complete the SSDI checklist.
- Fill out an application form and submit it with your documentation.
- The SSA will review your application to determine if you qualify.
While the process may seem simple, we all make mistakes when filling out forms or misreading the fine print. Social Security disability applications can be denied over a small formality within your application, which is why having an attorney in your corner can speed up and simplify the otherwise difficult process. If you have trouble navigating the process, a Greater Los Angeles Social Security benefits disability lawyer, such as Dr. Bill LaTour, can guide you through.
