SSDI and SSI for adults and children, at every stage. We handle your case by phone, so you don't have to drive. Free consultation · No fee unless you win · Since 2003.

Have your latest letters from Social Security (especially any denial), your doctors and clinics, and your medications.
You sign Social Security's form SSA-1696 naming Raquel as your representative. We send it in for you.
We get your Social Security file, keep track of your deadlines, and file what's due.
No. Most of our clients never need to come in — we work by phone, mail and online. If you'd like to meet in person, our main office is at 1300 State Hwy 495 in Alamo.
Yes. You can change your representative at any time by signing a new appointment form. Your previous representative may ask Social Security for a fee for work already done; Social Security decides any fee, and you never pay out of pocket.
Call us today. If a deadline is close we can often still file on time, and if it has passed, Social Security sometimes accepts a late appeal for good reason. Waiting makes it harder.
Nothing up front. The fee is set and approved by Social Security, and it comes only out of your past-due benefits if you win. If you don't win, there is no fee.
