My experience with this professional firm was just that — professional — which is unfortunately lacking in many businesses these days. I found Mr. LaPorte to be extremely helpful, kind, and ready to assist and answer any and all questions. I highly recommend the LaPorte Law Firm if you’re looking for an honest, sincere, and hardworking firm.

Kevin and his assistant have been very helpful, and the process was painless. I only had to visit his office twice before getting a court date to see the judge. Overall, the service was excellent.

Great Lawyer
Mr. Laporte is very professional and I liked that he would contact me and be very detailed and kept me updated all along the case. His office is very professional and replied to all my emails within 24 hours or sooner.

Wow! I am so impressed with Mr. LaPorte. He is the kind of man you hope for when you need a lawyer. I did a fair amount of research on Bay Area lawyers who handle disability and found that most firms don’t want to take your case until it’s time for an appeal, because they make more money that way. But that is not in your best interest. I went to Terry before starting my SSDI application. He took my case, did all the upfront work, and I was approved in three months. I seriously doubt that I would have had such a great result if Terry was not in my corner. He is clearly about helping people, and not just making money. I am so grateful to him.

LaPorte Law Firm handled my disability claim and I could not be more satisfied. I found the team to be extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They walked me through the process and guided me through the complexities of the administrative hearing process so that I was thoroughly prepared and knew exactly what to expect. Although I started my initial disability application on my own without representation, I realize now that the very first thing I should have done was to reach out to LaPorte Law Firm. I am deeply grateful for their assistance.

I was referred to Mr. LaPorte when Social Security declined my disability claim. His staff were very patient and courteous. Mr. LaPorte explained the process for filing an appeal thoroughly, including how long it could take, and didn’t sugarcoat things. I truly appreciated this, because I prefer to be prepared, rather than be disappointed. Fortunately, I was approved, and I am confident that this is due to Mr. LaPorte’s handling of my case.

During the most painful and vulnerable time in one’s life, it is comforting to have LaPorte Law Firm providing security and guidance in an arena that is so stressful and confusing. It’s always done with extreme grace, calmness, and respect for those who need it most in their trying times. I can’t thank them enough for taking care of me and reminding me that people do care. I feel blessed to have found them, especially Mr. LaPorte. What a gentleman in a sea of gruffness.

I filled out the online request for information on their website the day after Thanksgiving. I didn’t expect to hear from anyone until Monday at the earliest but at around 4:30 p.m., I got a call from Mr. LaPorte personally. He wasn’t even at work, but he happened to check his email and saw my request. He listened to my issues, answered some questions, and set up an appointment for the following week. I had not done an initial application for Social Security or anything yet, and Terry and his staff helped me every step of the way. They made me feel like I had a whole team on my side and made the whole process so easy. My disability is not readily apparent but no one there treated me with doubt or anything other than respect and kindness. It was a wonderful experience, and I won my benefits in only five months. I have recommended Mr. LaPorte to several people seeking Social Security benefits and will continue to do so.

Great lawyers — straightforward and trustworthy for your Social Security needs.

I highly recommend working with this firm. They helped me get my Social Security Disability faster than I expected. Mr. LaPorte and his paralegal, Sylvia, are fantastic. They are professional, organized, and excellent at what they do. I feel so grateful to them.

Mr. Terry LaPorte won my case for me several years ago. He was extremely patient and diligent. After feeling inadequate for years of people questioning my health, Mr. LaPorte truly cared about my chronic conditions. I still regularly email and he calls me to talk about all my questions. I definitely trust Mr.LaPorte; he is incredibly sweet and I feel at ease knowing that I am always protected when it comes to my SSI.
Samantha
Our experience with La Porte Law Firm was, first and foremost, respectful and very humanitarian. As a lawyer, Mr. LaPorte always kept the goal in mind and worked very hard to have all the relevant information. He reviewed every single record, and we felt very good having him represent our son. We are most grateful to have had a positive outcome since the Social Security rules are so strict.

Preguntas frecuentes
El SSDI es un programa de seguro por incapacidad, financiado por las retenciones de su nómina correspondientes a la Seguridad Social. A menos que no tenga acceso por motivos de edad, debe haber trabajado un total de 10 años (40 trimestres), 5 de los cuales deben ser en los últimos 10 años (20 de los últimos 40 trimestres). Para tener derecho a las prestaciones del SSDI, debe haber percibido un salario sujeto al impuesto de la Ley Federal de Contribuciones al Seguro (FICA) durante este período de trabajo.
Para obtener las prestaciones del programa de Subsidios de Seguridad de Ingreso Suplementario (SSI), no se requiere ningún período de tiempo trabajado. No obstante, existen límites al derecho a percibir el subsidio según la cantidad de bienes que posea o del dinero que tenga en el banco, ya que el programa SSI está dirigido a personas que carecen de ingresos o recursos y son discapacitadas. El pago de las prestaciones se establece a una tarifa fija, y el importe a cobrar podría reducirse si recibe dinero o ayuda de cualquier otra fuente de recursos.
Para poder recibir las prestaciones tanto del SSI como del SSDI, tiene que haberse decretado su discapacidad. La Administración del Seguro Social (SSA) supervisa ambos programas, y define la discapacidad como la incapacidad para realizar cualquier «actividad lucrativa sustancial».
Los honorarios que cobran los abogados representan el 25 % del primer pago retroactivo que efectivice la Administración del Seguro Social (SSA); sin embargo, los honorarios tienen un tope de 7 200 dólares, independientemente de la cantidad de dinero que deba abonarle la SSA. Después del 30 de noviembre de 2024, los honorarios máximos por abogado tienen un tope de 9 200 dólares. Una vez que gane el caso, no tendrá que abonar ningún honorario único o continuo. Dado que la SSA puede demorarse varios años en resolver una solicitud de incapacidad, los reclamantes suelen tener derecho a un cheque por un importe elevado en concepto de prestaciones retroactivas por el periodo de espera transcurrido hasta la resolución de su reclamo. Nuestros honorarios se descuentan de ese primer cheque retroactivo de forma automática, por lo que nuestros clientes nunca tienen que pagarnos de forma directa.
