Ben Glass Law

About BenGlassLaw BenGlassLaw is a nationally recognized plaintiff-side law firm focused on long-term disability, ERISA, life insurance, and injury cases. We help people whose lives have been disrupted by illness, injury, and insurance denials. Our disability practice handles complex administrative appeals and federal litigation against major insurance companies nationwide. We are a strategy-driven, writing-intensive practice that values deep thinking, strong advocacy, intellectual curiosity, and excellent client service. We are looking for an associate attorney who is intelligent, thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys legal writing and problem-solving. This is not a "high-volume settlement mill" position. The right candidate will learn how to analyze difficult cases, build compelling narratives, develop evidence, and litigate sophisticated insurance disputes. Position Summary The Disability Associate Attorney will work closely with the firm's disability team on administrative appeals, federal litigation, legal research, case strategy, and client counseling. This attorney will help clients navigate complex disability insurance disputes from initial case evaluation through resolution. Key responsibilities include reviewing disability denial letters to determine case viability, developing appeal and litigation strategies, creating case plans, drafting administrative appeals and legal briefs, conducting legal research, participating in settlement negotiations, and assisting with federal litigation matters. The attorney will also consult with clients regarding insurance company buyout offers and work collaboratively with the team to build compelling, evidence-based cases. We are seeking an attorney with 0-3 years of experience who is eager to learn, enjoys legal writing and analytical thinking, and wants to build a long-term career advocating for individuals facing insurance and disability challenges. This position is ideal for a recent law school graduate, newly licensed attorney, or early-career attorney looking to develop exceptional advocacy, litigation, and client counseling skills. The ideal candidate is a strong researcher and writer who is intellectually curious, organized, and proactive. They should be able to think critically about complex factual, medical, and legal issues and have a genuine interest in becoming an exceptional plaintiff-side advocate. Extensive disability law experience is not required; intellectual curiosity, strong writing skills, and a willingness to learn are far more important. This role offers significant mentorship, meaningful responsibility, and opportunity for professional growth. We believe great attorneys should be rewarded for the value they create. This position offers a base salary of $80,000-$110,000 , depending on experience, with the opportunity to significantly increase total compensation through performance incentives. Benefits include 12 paid holidays, generous paid time off, medical, dental, and vision insurance, FSA and EAP benefits, a 3% employer 401(k) contribution, profit sharing, and employer-paid life, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance.
