About Disability Law Group
At Disability Law Group, we exist for one reason: to help people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives — and to do that work with skill, heart, and purpose.
We are a mission-driven law firm focused on Social Security Disability and Veterans’ disability benefits. Our work demands more than legal knowledge; it requires empathy, persistence, and a genuine commitment to listening to people when they need it most.
Everything we do is guided by our core values — Listen, Invest, Vigor, Empathy, and Solutions (LIVES). These values shape how we show up for our clients and for one another. From the first phone call to the final resolution of a case, we treat each client’s situation as unique and deserving of thoughtful, personalized advocacy.
Our team is made up of dedicated professionals across intake, applications and appeals, records, case management, attorneys, and leadership, all working collaboratively to deliver exceptional service nationwide.
We also believe in investing in our people. DLG offers competitive pay and benefits, meaningful opportunities for growth and advancement, and a workplace culture that values balance and recognition — including a paid day off for your birthday, team celebrations, and firm-wide KPIs. Our team regularly participates in community clinics, scholarship initiatives, and volunteer opportunities, giving everyone the chance to make an impact beyond their day-to-day work. We also offer a flexible hybrid work, and a family-first, model.
At Disability Law Group, your work matters — and so do you. Together, we are building a firm that delivers results, supports its people, and truly changes lives
Are you someone who loves to talk with and be around other people with a keen ability to listen and problem-solve? Are you especially proud of your ability to check-off all the items on your day-to-day tasks with ease and satisfaction? Are you the dependable one that your friends and family can always count on? Does meaningful work that directly impacts your community spark an interest to you? If so, a career as an Intake Representative may be for you!
Every day we strive to foster a culture that is accepting, dynamic, and empathetic. Our clients are disabled and deserve the highest degree of service that we would be proud to deliver. Each client has a unique story with different needs that we must tend to with great care and attention from the very first phone call to the last. Our core values – listen, invest, vigor, empathy, solutions – drive us to be better and do better for our clients.
