About
Direct attorney representation for people fighting for the disability benefits they've earned. No call centers, no case numbers — just honest counsel from someone who handles your claim personally.
Tate Holt
Tate Holt founded Bay Area Disability with a single conviction: that people navigating the Social Security system deserve to speak directly with the attorney handling their case — not a rotating cast of intake staff.
For more than a decade he has represented claimants at every stage of the process, from initial applications through reconsideration and ALJ hearings. His practice is built on preparation, clear communication, and a refusal to treat any client like a file number.

After two denials on my own, Marcus took my case and won the hearing in less than a year. He explained every step and answered every call himself.
Calm, direct, and incredibly thorough. I never once felt like I was just a case number, and the back-pay arrived three months after our hearing.
I was 58, denied twice, and ready to give up. Marcus rebuilt my medical evidence file and we won at the ALJ. Life-changing doesn't cover it.
Marcus handled every form, every phone call, every follow-up. I just had to focus on my health while he built the strongest possible case.
Honest from the first call. He told me exactly what to expect, prepared me for the hearing, and we won the first time around at 61 years old.
I had been fighting the SSA for nearly three years on my own. Marcus took over and we had an approval and back-pay within nine months.
