The Federal Appeals Firm™ is a national appellate practice focused exclusively on federal appeals of Social Security disability decisions.

We are looking for an attorney with strong legal writing instincts, excellent analytical ability, and the ability to turn complex administrative records into clear, persuasive federal court briefs.

Our firm is also AI-native. Associates are trained to work with Brief Master™, our proprietary AI-assisted briefing system developed in-house and refined through thousands of federal briefs. These tools support legal analysis, record review, issue development, and draft refinement. They do not replace attorney judgment.
