Assisting California
Public Employees in Disability Retirement Issues
CalPERS • CERL
Have you been denied disability retirement pension benefits through CalPERS
or CERL? Have you been told that you cannot return to your civil service
job because of a disability? Do you need help in applying for your disability
pension?
The news that injury or illness will prevent you from returning to your
job is devastating to most public service employees. Unfortunately, the
city, county or state agency you work for may not be an advocate for
you when you need them the most.
In fact, so many public employees have encountered resistance – even
hostility – when requesting accommodation or applying for their rightful pension benefits that
Faunce,
Singer & Oatman has built a law practice devoted entirely
to assisting clients in California with disability claims.
Experienced Attorneys in California Labor Law
Edward L. Faunce is a Southern California labor law attorney with 35
years of experience in disability retirement law. He and his partners,
Mark Ellis Singer and Jane
Oatman, provide unparalleled representation
in this field to public employees throughout the state of California.
As our firm is based in Southern California, most of our clients work for government
entities in San Diego County, Riverside County, Orange County, San
Bernardino County and Los Angeles County. However, because we represent
employees of the two statewide retirement systems, we literally represent
clients throughout California, from San Diego and El Centro to Sacramento
and beyond.
Our California labor law attorneys represent three categories of public
employees, each with their own set of rules, benefits and specific issues
in disability retirement pensions:
• County workers from the 20 large counties covered under CERL,
the 1937 California Employment Retirement Law. We welcome members of
any county employees’ retirement association.
•
CalPERS Safety Personnel: We represent sheriff’s deputies and other
sworn personnel who work for state, local and county agencies in Southern
California and throughout
the state. If you are a public safety employee who is covered by the
California Public Employee Retirement System, we will help you with your
disability retirement issue.
•
CalPERS Miscellaneous Employees: More than one million civil service
employees are employed in non-sworn positions with city, state, and county
agencies throughout California. We represent hundreds of CalPERS workers
applying for disability pension benefits, as well as those who are disputing
their employer’s determination of disability.
Don’t delay! Contact the California
labor law attorneys of Faunce,
Singer & Oatman. We will give you an honest
assessment of your case in a free
initial consultation, and we can represent most clients on
a contingency fee basis.
