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.

Working with James Greeman was a wonderful experience. I was very worried at first with my disability claim being that I had been denied on my appeal and had to have a hearing with an administrative law judge. He made a gut feeling call the day of the hearing and terrified, I went with it. It was the smartest decision I could have possibly made. He sounded absolutely phenomenal when speaking to the judge and to the vocational therapist. Amazingly, he explained my disability better than I ever could. He was a true advocate for me that day. I was very impressed and so was the judge. The judge remarked on how eloquent his words were. I received a favorable decision! So I would absolutely recommend this man for your disability claim, he knows what he's doing. Timothy. 7-28-23.

So this was the first time I had to hire a law firm. In doing so I was able to just give them all my facts and information pertaining to my case, and the nice thing was they handled it. I was able to focus on my health and family life. And when it came time to get the work done they did it efficient and correct. Third time was a charm!! And we won:) thank you James:) keep up the amazing work!! U change lives doing what you have done for me.. appreciate your hard work and dedication in knowing my case and doing what needed to be done..

I had just came home after being in HCMC for over a year and a half. Here they had said that I couldn't qualify and that I could appeal. The paperwork that they send is so confusing. I was going threw so much at the time. They sent someone to my house to help me with all the paperwork. There is no way I could have done the work that they did for me. It took awhile but in the end He did win me my case.

Having James Greeman represent me in my disability case was a step in the right direction. He was very supportive and understanding of my case and I, and I didn’t feel unwanted like I have before with other lawyers. He was very patient and answered the questions I had before I had even asked them. Even though my case was denied a few times, he never quit or gave up and continued to fight along with me; I highly recommend him.
