About Dr. Bill LaTour: California Disability Attorney and Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Bill LaTour founded The Law Offices of Dr. Bill LaTour in 1994 with a clear mission: to help individuals across Southern California secure the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits they need to move forward with stability and dignity. What sets Dr. LaTour apart is his rare combination of legal and clinical experience.
As both a disability attorney and a licensed clinical psychologist, he understands the legal process, the medical evidence required by the Social Security Administration, and the emotional strain that can come with trying to prove a disability. His dual background allows him to build stronger claims and improve his clients’ chances of securing benefits.
While Dr. LaTour enjoys applying his psychological skills to the practice of law, he says his strongest source of professional fulfillment is simply helping people at a time when they need it. “I’ve always had an interest in serving people,” he says. “It’s very satisfying to me to help people put food on their table and pay their bills.”
With more than 30 years of dedicated experience, Dr. LaTour has guided countless clients through every stage of the disability process, including initial applications, appeals, administrative hearings, and federal court reviews.
His long-standing commitment to this area of law reflects both deep knowledge and unwavering advocacy for those he represents. If you need help applying for benefits or if your disability claim has been denied, Dr. Bill LaTour is ready to advocate for you.
