About James H. Greeman

A nationwide leading Social Security disability attorney, James was admitted to the Minnesota Bar in 1995 and to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota in April, 2001.

James is a graduate of Hamline University, and he obtained his Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law. James has practiced exclusively in Social Security disability law throughout his 27-year legal career. He has personally represented more individuals in their disability claims than any other attorney licensed and practicing in Minnesota. During those 27 years, he has either represented or worked on disability claims for more than 100,000 people throughout the United States and at all levels of the administrative process and in United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Early in his career he made a commitment to representing the less fortunate members of our community. James has also represented disabled children, indigent and homeless claimants, those applying for SSI and the mentally ill.

James received recognition in 1999, 2000 and 2001 when he was named a “Super Lawyer” by Law and Politics, Twin Cities Business Monthly and Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine, a distinction fewer than 5% of all Minnesota attorneys receive. He was also recognized when named by his peers in these same publications in 2001 as a “Rising Star” in the legal profession.

James lives in Apple Valley, Minnesota with his wife Carol and daughter.

James H. Greeman Attorney At Law is beyond phenomenal. His attention to detail is exquisite. He fought for me like a wolf amongst sheep. He also taught me self worth with doctors and appointments so that the care i received was better advocated for. He is the first person to fight for and with me over my medical and emotional needs. He was very strict yet supportive from start to finish. Do as he says and he will battle they system enthusiastically for you too!

Hired Attorney James H. Greeman

I hired James Greeman at the end of my disability process to represent me in appeals court as it was my last opportunity to win my case. He swiftly took over from there and after a year battling on my own, he won my case in 20 minutes in court. Any time I had questions or needed to get a hold of him, he answered promptly and professionally. James’ staff is equally great and they removed all of the stress of gathering any necessary medical records or legal forms. Hiring James not only comes with an A+ lawyer but also an A+ law firm behind him.

As of year ago my physical and mental health were trying to keep pace at a job just like other jobs before but this time after I had been let go I really felt strongly about pursuing better health. In the process Greeman and Toomey kept in good communication with me. We did calls and email which was so nice versus driving, parking etc. I worked with Natalie several times. Her smile radiates in conversation ! My lawyer, James Greeman, called and help prep me for the appeal's hearing. He did great communication to help the hearing go in my favor. Top notch service, professionalism, and compassion.

Didn’t give up. Worked hard, fought and received disability settlement. Not an easy case. Several denials and took it to federal, federal shot it back down citing flaws in their denial of claim. It was a long long process and indicative of the system and not their service.
