Job Description

Work anywhere. Make a difference everywhere. Help people change their lives without leaving your home office. At Beacon Disability, we’re a Social Security disability law firm dedicated to obtaining life-changing benefits for our clients. Every case you win means a family can pay their bills, see the doctors they need, and face the future with hope. We’re looking for a passionate, detail-driven attorney who thrives in a collaborative, remote-first environment - someone who wants their work to matter every single day. Here, you’ll find the flexibility to design your schedule, the support of experienced colleagues, and the satisfaction of making a tangible difference in people’s lives. Beacon Disability was founded on a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves a fair chance to live with dignity, irrespective of health challenges. We saw how often people were denied the disability benefits they had worked for and paid into - and how overwhelming the process could be without a strong advocate. With that in mind, founding attorney Kaitlin Wildoner built a firm dedicated to disability law, combining legal skill with compassion, efficiency, effectiveness, and persistence. Over the years, we’ve helped clients across the country secure the benefits they need to keep a roof over their heads, get essential medical care, and rebuild their futures. We’re not just here to win cases—we’re here to restore hope. Are you passionate about advocating for individuals facing challenging circumstances? Do you thrive in a mission-driven environment where your legal expertise can make a difference?
