About Raymond
Biography
I grew up in Santa Ana, CA and graduated from Century High School in 1999. I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science in 2004 and graduated from Chapman University School of Law in 2009.
I passed the California bar exam in February 2010 and started working as an attorney representative for one of the largest Social Security disability firms in the nation. I represented clients in approximately 1,000 hearings over a five year period. My clients were mostly in the Bay Area, but I also represented people in Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington.
After five years in private practice, I went to work for the Social Security Administration as an Attorney-Adviser. My duties consisted of advising judges during the decisionmaking process and drafting decisions on behalf of the judges. As a result, I have an extensive knowledge of the expectations and minute details required to provide competent and efficient representation.
I established my practice in order to provide disabled individuals with the necessary representation to obtain the benefits that they are desperately entitled to.

Great Experience
Mr. Ugarte treated me with respect. Answered my questions in a timely manner. Explained the process of my case clearly for me so that I understood everything while he was working on my case. I believe what makes Mr. Ugarte a great lawyer is that he truly cares. Thanks Mr. Ugarte

I would hire Mr. Ugarte again
I was very satisfied with the services I received. After my phone consultation we met, and from there Mr Ugarte won my case without me ever having to go out of my way. The only wait was receiving a court date. Excellent service i'd refer anyone to this attorney.

Very Professional!
He was able to meet with me and explain what had to be done in a timely matter. He went above and beyond what was expected. He collected all the information that was needed for the court date. All in all he made what could be a different situation go smoothly. I couldn't have done this without him...
