At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we’re their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations or defective goods. From attorneys in all 50 states, to client support staff, creative marketing to operations teams, every member of our firm has a key role to play in the winning fight for consumer rights. Our over 6,000 employees are all united by one mission: For the People.

 Build a Practice. Change Lives. Get Rewarded for Winning.

Every day, people come to us after hearing one word too many: Denied.

Denied benefits they’ve earned.

Denied financial security.

Denied the support they need when they’re no longer able to work.

Your job is to change that.

At Morgan & Morgan, our Social Security Disability attorneys don’t spend their days chasing business or wondering from where their next client will come. They spend their time doing what they became attorneys to do: advocate for people who need someone in their corner.

As one of the fastest-growing Social Security Disability practices in the country, we’re looking for attorneys who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy managing an active caseload, and take pride in moving cases toward successful outcomes.

If you’re energized by staying busy, collaborating with a high-performing team, and being rewarded for your results, we’d like to meet you.

Why Join Us?

We’re not simply growing—we’re building one of the premier Social Security Disability practices in the country.

In 2024, our firm ranked in the Top 10 nationally among Social Security Disability firms by annual fees generated. We’re on track to becoming one of the very top Social Security Disability firms in the country. That growth creates opportunities for attorneys who want more than a steady paycheck.

Our compensation is designed to reward productivity and successful outcomes. In addition to a competitive base salary, attorneys participate in a bonus structure tied to resolved cases and annual fees, giving high performers the opportunity to significantly increase their overall earnings.

Just as importantly, you’ll inherit a robust caseload and consistent pipeline of clients, allowing you to focus on practice law rather than generate business.

What You’ll Do

  • Represent Social Security Disability clients through all stages of their claims
  • Prepare clients for hearings and advocate on their behalf before Administrative Law Judges
  • Manage a substantial caseload while maintaining exceptional client service
  • Work closely with experienced case managers and support staff to efficiently move cases forward
  • Develop legal strategy, prepare evidence, and build compelling cases for clients
  • Help clients navigate one of the most important legal matters of their lives

Who Thrives Here

Our most successful attorneys tend to be people who:

  • Enjoy staying busy and managing a high-volume practice
  • Find satisfaction in resolving cases and seeing measurable results
  • Like collaborating with experienced legal professionals in an office environment
  • Are self-motivated and performance-driven
  • Build strong relationships with clients during difficult moments in their lives
  • Want their compensation to reflect their impact and productivity

This position is intentionally office-based because we believe our attorneys do their best work when collaborating with colleagues, mentoring one another, and working closely with their support teams. If you enjoy the energy of an engaged legal office and being surrounded by people who are all working toward the same mission, you’ll fit right in.

Qualifications

  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Active license and good standing with at least one US state bar
  • Prior experience handling Social Security Disability hearings
  • Existing Social Security Representative ID (preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to successfully manage a high-volume caseload
  • Outstanding communication, advocacy, and client relationship skills
  • Strong writing, organizational, and case management abilities

Locations

These positions can be based in any of our U.S. offices, with particular interest in candidates located in:

  • Irvine, CA
  • Phoenix, AZ
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Chicago, IL

Our Mission

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we’re their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations, and systems that don’t always work in their favor.

From attorneys across the country to client support, operations, and marketing, more than 6,000 team members are united by one mission:

For the People.

If you’re looking for a practice where your work has real impact, your calendar stays full, your colleagues have your back, and your compensation grows alongside your success, we’d love to hear from you.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
