The Law Offices of Lawrence D. Rohlfing and Rohlfing & Kalagian handle over a thousand disability claims annually. The firms represent claimants for Social Security disability before the Social Security Administration at initial application, on reconsideration, at hearing before the Office of Hearings and Appeals, before the Appeals Council on request for review, and before the courts. Both offices seek out to represent those claimants that the Social Security Administration has wrongfully denied through all levels of appeal. Many clients come to the offices for primary representation before the Social Security Administration. Lawyers from all over California request the attorneys take over representation at the Appeals Council, the United States District Court, and the United States Court of Appeals. The work of the firms has led to decisions from the courts that have changed the way in which the Social Security Administration must adjudicate claims for disability benefits from the District Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court.

The members of the firm actively share their experience with other lawyers across in the nation in how to better represent claimants.
