California CalPERS Lawyers

Southern California CalPERS Lawyers
California Public Employees’ Retirement System

If you have developed a disability – job-related or not – which prevents you from returning to your civil service job, contact the disability retirement attorneys of Faunce, Singer, Oatman & Woodson to protect your rights.

We represent all state employees whose disability retirement benefits are covered under the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, including CalPERS public safety sworn personnel as well as non-safety “miscellaneous” workers.

Our practice is devoted entirely to disability retirement cases under the CalPERS and CERL laws. There are so many employees of state, county and local agencies who encounter difficulty with disability retirement claims that our three attorneys are able to focus exclusively in this area of the law.

Based in Temecula, California, Faunce, Singer, Oatman & Woodson represents many clients throughout Southern California, including Riverside County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County, Orange County, Santa Clara County and Los Angeles County. Because we deal solely with the two laws governing California public employees, we are able to represent all CalPERS employees statewide.

Experienced CalPERS Lawyers Who Will Protect Your Rights

Many employees we represent are forced to take early retirement because a disability precludes returning to the same job. Many of our clients would like to return to work, but find their employer unwilling to make reasonable accommodation. Other clients make the choice to retire after consulting their physician, but encounter resistance from the state or local agency they work for.

We represent all public safety sworn employees, as well as all non-sworn public employees, including clerical workers, administrators, laborers, non-teaching school staff, engineers, and members of the University of California employees’ retirement system, the judges’ employee retirement system and other employee groups. Many of our clients are clerks who have developed a repetitive stress injury on the job, but we assist all CalPERS employees whether or not their disability is service-related (“industrial disability”).

The employees’ retirement system benefit for non-safety (non-sworn) CalPERS may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime and should not be considered lightly. The decision of when and how to file for disability retirement is critical. You need to be represented by an experienced CalPERS disability retirement lawyer. Our lawyers handle only California public employee disability pension cases – it’s all we do.
