About Matty Sandoval
Born and raised in San Pedro, California. I grew up second oldest of five children in a home with great family values. It was stressed upon me at an early age that your gifts are best used to help others. This meant a great deal to me, and I carry these family values today. I believe everyone deserves a chance to better their life.
I came to San Diego to attend college in 1979 and have lived here ever since. Graduating with honors from the University of San Diego in 1983 was an early accomplishment that set the precedent for success early in my career. This allowed me to study law in Salzburg, Austria, and Florence, Italy. I then went on to earn my Juris Doctorate from the University of San Diego in 1987 which effectively started my law career.
I have been proudly serving the disabled in southern California for more than 30 years. Having represented over 8,500 disability claimants means I have the expertise to represent you.

Social Security Disability Income provides monthly cash disability payments. Everyone who works pays FICA (Federal Insurance Contribution Act) taxes, and if you have paid enough of these taxes in your past jobs, you are considered “insured” and therefore eligible for SSDI if you have a qualifying disability. Proving you are disabled is Attorney Sandoval’s legal specialty.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) unlike SSDI, is a need-based program. SSI is designed to pay benefits to disabled people who need help with living, even if they haven’t worked or paid taxes into the Social Security system. Again, proving you are disabled is where Attorney Sandoval comes in.
Spouses depend on each other. They are dependent on the other’s income. When a person receiving regular Social Security Disability or regular Social Security benefits passes away, the surviving spouse is eligible to receive their spouse’s benefits. This eligibility is earned if the spouse is over 60 years old. If the surviving spouse is disabled, the eligibility age to receive Widow/Widower Benefits is lowered to age 50.
An adult disabled before age 22 may be eligible for child’s benefits. This occurs when a parent is deceased or starts receiving retirement or disability benefits. As a result, the government considers this a “child’s” benefit because it is paid on a parent’s Social Security earnings record. Find out how Matty can help you!
