The Federal Appeals Firm is a national Social Security disability law practice dedicated exclusively to federal court appeals. Our team of skilled litigators handles high-volume, high-impact cases across the country. We are expanding and seeking motivated and detail-oriented attorneys to join us in an Of Counsel role focused on federal court appellate litigation.

We are hiring attorneys with strong writing and analytical skills to prepare federal district court briefs in Social Security disability appeals. This is a remote, commission-based role with significant earning potential. Of Counsel attorneys are provided with a steady caseload and the support of our experienced litigation team. Of counsel attorneys are independent contractors of the firm.

• Analyze administrative records, ALJ decisions, and applicable federal case law.
• Apply circuit-specific precedent, statutes, and Social Security regulations to frame compelling arguments.
