Build a Meaningful Legal Career While Changing Lives
Parmele Disability Advocates is seeking a motivated and compassionate Associate Attorney to join our Hearings Department. This role offers the opportunity to advocate for individuals seeking Social Security Disability benefits and to make a meaningful impact during some of the most challenging times in our clients' lives.


Whether you're an experienced attorney or a recent law school graduate preparing for licensure, you'll join a collaborative team dedicated to providing exceptional legal representation and improving outcomes for those we serve.


Why Parmele Disability Advocates?


At Parmele, we believe skilled legal advocacy has the power to change lives. Our attorneys have helped more than 61,000 individuals secure the Social Security Disability benefits they deserve.


What began as a two-person startup has grown into a team of more than 150 employees serving clients across Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and throughout the country. Our legal team brings over 150 years of combined disability law experience, providing attorneys with the opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners while building rewarding and impactful careers.


We are equally proud of the culture we've built. Parmele fosters an environment of collaboration, professional development, and recognition, with company retreats, team-building events, employee spotlights, and opportunities to celebrate success together.


About the Role


As an Associate Attorney in our Hearings Department, you will guide clients through the Social Security Disability appeals process by preparing them for hearings, representing them before Administrative Law Judges, and advocating for them throughout their cases.


This position is ideal for attorneys who enjoy advocacy, client interaction, and developing legal strategy in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.


Key Responsibilities


  • Prepare clients for Social Security Disability hearings with professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail.
  • Represent clients at hearings before Administrative Law Judges.
  • Draft appeals, legal briefs, and supporting documentation for submission to the Appeals Council.
  • Evaluate prospective cases and determine eligibility for representation.
  • Analyze medical evidence and case records to develop effective legal strategies.
  • Maintain accurate case documentation and manage deadlines using the firm's case management system.
  • Collaborate with attorneys, legal assistants, and support staff to deliver exceptional client service and case outcomes.
Qualifications


Required


  • Active law license in Missouri or Kansas, or the ability to obtain licensure in one of those states within one month of hire.
  • Strong legal writing, research, and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication and client advocacy abilities.
  • Exceptional organizational and time management skills.
  • Ability to manage a high-volume caseload while maintaining attention to detail and quality of work.
Preferred


  • Experience with Social Security Disability law, administrative hearings, or appellate practice.
  • Familiarity with reviewing medical records and developing evidence-based legal arguments.
Direct disability law experience is not required. Candidates with strong advocacy skills and an interest in administrative law are encouraged to apply.


Experience


  • 1–3 years of legal experience preferred, although outstanding recent graduates and early-career attorneys are welcome to apply.
Compensation & Benefits


We offer competitive compensation based on experience, with additional consideration given to disability law and hearing experience.


Our comprehensive benefits package includes:


  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with nationwide coverage
  • Employer-paid life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer contributions
  • Firm-paid CLE expenses and attorney registration fees
  • Malpractice insurance coverage
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Professional development and growth opportunities
