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.

Tried on my own multiple times with all the headaches and stress only to be denied at every turn. I contacted James Greeman and was immediately relieved to have someone who knows the business take the reigns, and win my case for me on the first try!

From the moment my mother and I spoke to James he seemed very involved and extremely caring. My mother came to him for his success with disability cases since she's had a long devastating fight with her health and getting her point across as a non-english speaker. I translated for her and connected with James in order to ensure that she received the best care. I felt like James took her case and truly listened to every single concern. We finally felt heard. He ended up winning our case, providing us with the best thing that my mother could need. Finally, some peace into our lives after such hardship. I will never be able to repay you for this.

I would highly recommend the Greeman-Toomey law firm. My dad hired Greeman Toomey to represent him for his Social Security backpay case. He passed away prior to the hearing. Within an hour of contacting the office, both Patricia and James Greeman reached out offering their condolences, as well as offering to continue the case. Before the case, James answered all my questions, as well as talked me through the case so I was confident going into it. James was very confident we would win the case, and we ended up winning very quickly. Overall I was very pleased with the work James did, and would highly recommend him.

Applying for SSDI while a family member is suffering with ME/CFS can be overwhelming without help. Mr. Greeman was a steady hand at a tough time, in a tough fight. His knowledge of the legal process was essential to the positive outcome. His clear and honest communication helped us understand the law. He fought for us with persistence and wisdom.

We had the opportunity to work with both James Greeman and Patrick Toomey on our case. We had an awesome experience with them working on an extremely difficult case. They rose to the challenge and we prevailed. NFL players trying to get the benefits they deserve is very difficult, I knew we would face many obstacles. I’m so thankful to James and Patrick for taking the stress off my shoulders and taking on the fight for me. They are easy to communicate with via text and made me feel valued, they cared about me. They were determined to succeed with my case and they did. Even after it was over and we had been awarded the benefit they personally reached out to make sure we understood everything, explained everything needed, and offered themselves as a resource for any future questions we might have. We are very blessed to have worked with them.
