California Disability Attorneys

Southern California Disability Retirement Attorneys

Representing CalPERS and County Employee Retirement System Employees Statewide

Our law firm is devoted to representing public employees with disabilities in California who are seeking accommodation or are choosing or forced into disability retirement because of injury or illness. We represent city, county, state and special district workers in San Diego County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, Southern California and statewide.

At Faunce, Singer, Oatman & Woodson, our practice involves the Fair Employment & Housing Act and disability retirement provisions of two state-wide retirement laws: the 1937 County Employees' Retirement Law (CERL) and the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). We represent all county employees of the 20 counties covered by CERL, sworn employees (CalPERS safety workers) and “miscellaneous” or non-sworn CalPERS employees throughout the state of California.

In 35 years of practice as California disability retirement and discrimination attorneys, we have discovered that very few public employees understand their disability rights and their disability retirement program. Perhaps even more amazing, very few public employers grasp the significance of obligations to those with disabilities or the disability retirement programs that they have adopted for their employees.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for Disability Retirement?

Most employees believe that their employer will do whatever is right and their pension systems and their staffs will "take care of them" when they have a problem. Many employees are shocked when they discover the extent of the adversarial techniques and procedures employed by their employer and the pension systems to deny disability benefits.

The disability lawyers of Faunce, Singer, Oatman & Woodson have extensive experience in California discriminatory and retirement law and a record of success in assisting disabled employees who cannot return to the same job or need accommodation. We assist California public employees in seeking accommodation, applying for benefits and appealing on their behalf if their disability retirement claim is denied.

Your retirement disability pension benefits may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime, perhaps more than a million dollars. You need an attorney who is focused in this area of the law to protect your rights and preserve what may be your largest asset
