What is a Per Diem Disability Attorney?

A Per Diem Disability Attorney is a lawyer who is hired on a temporary, as-needed basis to handle disability-related legal matters, such as representing clients at Social Security Disability hearings or other disability proceedings. Unlike full-time or salaried attorneys, per diem attorneys are typically paid for each appearance or case rather than receiving a regular salary. This arrangement allows law firms or legal departments to manage fluctuating caseloads efficiently and gives attorneys the flexibility to work with multiple clients or firms. Per diem attorneys are responsible for ensuring they understand the specifics of each case they take on, often preparing quickly and handling appearances with limited prior involvement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Per Diem Disability Attorney, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Per Diem Disability Attorney, you need a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, a state bar license, and expertise in disability law, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases. Familiarity with case management systems, legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, and courtroom technology is essential. Strong written and oral advocacy, adaptability, and client-focused communication are vital soft skills for this role. These qualifications and skills ensure effective client representation, successful navigation of legal procedures, and positive outcomes in a fast-paced, variable work environment.

What are some common challenges faced by Per Diem Disability Attorneys and how can applicants prepare for them?

Per Diem Disability Attorneys often face challenges such as quickly acclimating to new cases, adapting to different court procedures, and efficiently managing a variable workload. Since these attorneys frequently cover hearings or trials on short notice, strong organizational skills and the ability to review case files rapidly are essential. Applicants can prepare by developing flexible research habits, honing their oral advocacy skills, and familiarizing themselves with the procedures in various local courts. Networking with law firms and staying updated on changes in disability law also helps build credibility and effectiveness in this dynamic role.

About the work
Our firm exists to help the largest number of underrepresented, vulnerable individuals in our community access the disability benefits they're entitled to. By the time a claim reaches a hearing, our clients have often waited years and been denied more than once. Representing them well at that stage is the most consequential thing we do — a favorable decision can mean medical care, stable housing, and financial security restored. We're looking for an experienced hearing attorney who takes that responsibility seriously and has the skill to deliver on it.
What you'd do
You'd carry a docket of roughly 20–35 hearings per month, owning each case from pre-hearing review through Appeals Council:
  • Review every hearing-level file at least 30 days out and again 7 days prior, identifying evidence gaps and directing the Case Manager to close them (Treating Source Statements, outstanding records).
  • Draft and file pre-hearing briefs for every hearing, plus On-the-Record requests and Five-Day Letters where warranted.
  • Present persuasive argument at hearing and cross-examine vocational and medical experts in a way that changes outcomes.
  • Handle post-hearing briefs, proffers, fee petitions, and Appeals Council appeals within deadline.
  • Share what works with the rest of the team in our monthly attorney roundtables, and give the Medical Records, Intake, and Case Management teams feedback that strengthens our cases.

What we're looking for
  • An active U.S. bar license in good standing.
  • A minimum of 500 SSA disability hearings personally handled.
  • Strong advocacy and cross-examination skills — you can challenge a VE or ME effectively and know the DOT, SCO, SOC, and ORS cold.
  • Command of SSA rules, current case law, and NOSSCR resources.
  • Comfort using modern case-management and AI-assisted tools to prep efficiently (we work in Litify, Chronicle, ERE, and more).
