Anthony DeLellis has held California State Bar license No. 98954 since 1981 and launched DeLellis and Associates in 1990, limiting the practice to Social Security Disability and Workers Compensation claims across San Diego and Imperial counties. Over the firm’s history the office has represented more than 7,000 injured and disabled claimants, including third-party tort matters cross-referred from firms such as Mission Personal Injury Lawyers San Diego when a workers compensation injury also involves a negligent non-employer defendant. Representation covers Initial, Reconsideration, ALJ Hearing, and Appeals Council stages of the SSDI and SSI claims process, plus federal court review filed under 42 U.S.C. Section 405(g) in the Southern District of California. Workers compensation matters include Qualified Medical Evaluation selection, Agreed Medical Evaluator negotiation, and Permanent Disability rating disputes where orthopedic opinions from Dr. Larry D. Dodge, MD carry weight in the final WCAB rating. The most complex files the firm handles are combined SSDI and workers comp cases where the WC settlement requires a Medicare Set-Aside allocation, CMS approval review, and offset calculations against ongoing federal disability benefits.
