About Jennifer
Biography
I have been an attorney since 1999. I am licensed to practice law in California, the State of Washington, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and the United States Courts for the Ninth Circuit. I have represented individuals in administrative hearings since 2003 and have experience litigating federal civil cases against the Social Security Administration. Before practicing Social Security disability law, I worked as a welfare and government benefits attorney and as an assistant public defender. I am a sustaining National Organization for Social Security Representatives (NOSSCR) member and enjoy attending their yearly conference. I am also a member of the San Diego County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the Lawyer's Club of San Diego.
As a sole practitioner, I represent clients with their Social Security Disability/SSI benefits denials. I work closely with every client to ensure they have the best representation. You will only work with me during representation. I enjoy getting to know my clients and assisting them in the appeals process. I am from Washington State and have lived in San Diego since 2002. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with my Micro Mini Goldendoodle!

Substantially Informative Consult
Preliminary phone contact with Ms. Zorilla was substantial and helpful. Would definitely enlisting her services as I move along the appeal process. She was attentive and thorough throughout the phone contact.

Awesome
After the initial interview with Jennifer I left knowing that I was in good hands. She went through the complete process of the disability claim.

Jennifer Is The Best
I heartily endorse Jennifer Zorrilla's expertise with Social Security. Whenever I had a question or needed help, Jennifer was always there to assist. She went with me to court and got me the settlement that I was entitled to because of her fantastic prep on my case.

Jennifer is kind and caring. She's more like a friend than an attorney. She's very thorough. I'm so glad I met her.

making the best of a bad situation
Being disabled is a humbling experience and the Social Security admin makes it as complicated and humiliating as they can.
