Immigration and Social Security disability cases are the core practice areas at Hilts Murray in Normal Heights, San Diego, where attorney Murray David Hilts has operated from 3020 Meade Avenue under California State Bar # 169690 since 1997. The film photography lab and camera shop at Safelight Labs on Adams Avenue anchors the same independent-business corridor where the law office operates, and the studio's rental space hosts the headshot sessions immigration clients book for visa and naturalization applications. The firm's 27-year caseload history in the 92116 ZIP spans deportation defense, family-based visa petitions, asylum claims, and naturalization applications. Hilts maintains a second office at 1011 Camino del Rio South in Mission Valley for clients who need a downtown-adjacent meeting point. The immigration practice handles I-130 family sponsorship petitions, I-485 adjustment of status filings, DACA renewal applications, and removal defense proceedings before the San Diego Immigration Court. Social Security disability representation covers initial applications, reconsideration appeals, and hearings before administrative law judges — a dual-track practice model that serves immigrant families who encounter both employment-authorization and disability-benefit questions simultaneously. The firm shares its Meade Avenue office suite with associate attorney Michael J. Codner, whose criminal defense and personal injury practice extends the office's capacity into litigation areas that intersect with immigration consequences. Staff provide consultations in Spanish alongside English, and the Meade Avenue location sits three blocks south of Adams Avenue. Community organizations including YMCA Kinship Support Services serve families in Normal Heights who may also need guidance on guardianship or kinship care legal questions. The Meade Avenue office is wheelchair-accessible and accepts appointments by phone.
