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?

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.

Key responsibilities

  • Represent clients at disability hearings before administrative law judges, developing persuasive arguments, examining witnesses, and presenting evidence.

Job description

About Mindset Care, Inc.
Mindset was founded to create a better experience for those with a mental illness and their caregivers in applying for Social Security Disability benefits.
Our team of Social Security Disability lawyers and representatives has helped thousands of individuals through the arduous process of obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security income (SSI) through the Social Security Administration.
The Role
Mindset is seeking an experienced, client-centered Disability Hearing Attorney to represent claimants through disability hearings and appeals. This role combines strong legal advocacy, sound judgment, empathy, and disciplined case management to help clients navigate a complex and consequential process.
Work Location
This is a hybrid role based in Mindset's office in New York City's Financial District. The attorney will work regularly from the office to collaborate with colleagues and may work remotely as appropriate. The specific in-office schedule will be discussed during the interview process.
Due to this being a hybrid role, you'll need a reliable internet connection with speeds of at least 100 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, a comfortable place to work, and a backup plan for occasional internet outages. We will provide your MacBook as well as a headset, keyboard, and monitor as needed. You will be responsible for maintaining a setup that supports a productive workday.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Counsel clients on SSI and SSDI eligibility, case strategy, application requirements, and the hearing and appeals process.
  • Prepare for and represent clients at disability hearings before administrative law judges, including developing persuasive arguments, examining witnesses, and presenting evidence.
  • Review and synthesize medical records, employment history, and other evidence to build clear, well-supported cases.
  • Conduct legal research and draft briefs, motions, and other submissions required for disability claims and appeals.
  • Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients, government agencies, administrative law judges, and internal partners.
  • Manage an active caseload, meet deadlines, maintain accurate documentation, and keep clients informed.
  • Stay current on Social Security Administration regulations, policies, procedures, and relevant case law.
  • Own the accuracy and completeness of applications, appeals, and supporting documentation, applying senior judgment to position cases for success.
  • Serve as the primary legal point of contact for clients and coordinate with the Social Security Administration and other agencies throughout each matter.
  • Partner closely with case managers, legal support staff, and fellow attorneys; provide coaching and mentorship to developing attorneys and team members.
  • Use and help improve digital case management systems, cloud-based collaboration tools, and AI-assisted legal workflows to manage caseloads efficiently and strengthen legal operations.

Job Qualifications:
  • Admission to the bar in at least one U.S. state and authorization to represent claimants before the Social Security Administration.
  • Four or more years of relevant legal experience is preferred, with a track record of representing clients in disability hearings and appeals. Attorneys with less experience-or professionals with directly relevant experience before licensure-will also be considered.
  • Strong knowledge of Social Security Disability law, SSA regulations, policies, and procedures.
  • Excellent hearing, legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
  • Ability to interpret medical terminology, records, and diagnostic information and translate that evidence into a compelling case.
  • Empathy, sound judgment, ethical conduct, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to client advocacy.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, strong organization and time management, and comfort working in a technology-enabled environment.
  • Ability to work on a hybrid basis from Mindset's Financial District office in New York City.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate across legal and operations teams and to coach or mentor less-experienced attorneys and staff.
  • Advanced proficiency with digital case management systems and cloud-based tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, video conferencing, and AI-assisted legal technology; able to evaluate and improve technology-enabled workflows.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with federal-level disability claims.
  • Experience working in a remote or technology-first environment.

Benefits:
  • Meaningful responsibility and ownership from the start.
  • Opportunities to grow and advance with the company.
  • A creative, transparent, mission-driven team focused on improving the disability benefits experience.
  • A collaborative hybrid environment based in Mindset's Financial District office.

The pay range for this role is:
90,000 - 120,000 USD per year (HQ)
