Job Title: Disability Advocacy Project Staff Attorney

Are you a recent law graduate or an attorney looking to make a meaningful impact? We invite you to join the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern NY as a Disability Advocacy Project (DAP) Staff Attorney in Albany, New York.

This is a unique opportunity to champion the rights of individuals facing challenges in our communities. With a hybrid work schedule, you'll enjoy a perfect balance between your professional and personal life.

As a DAP Staff Attorney, you'll be part of a collaborative, innovative team that values empathy and integrity. You'll tackle meaningful legal issues head-on, providing legal representation and assistance in Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.

You'll work closely with a passionate team, engaging in brainstorming sessions to develop innovative strategies and solutions tailored to each client's unique situation. Additionally, you'll participate in training and advocacy initiatives, ensuring your skills and knowledge remain sharp.

To thrive in this role, you'll need to be admitted to the NYS Bar or eligible to sit for the NYS Bar exam. A demonstrated commitment to delivering high-quality legal services to various civil matters, along with effective communication skills to engage compassionately with clients and collaborate seamlessly with colleagues, is essential.

Strong computer skills, including accurate data entry, are a must. Prior legal experience in Social Security Administration disability representation is preferred. Being multilingual, especially in Spanish, can further enhance your ability to connect with clients. A valid driver's license and access to a car are also required for outreach and client visits across the service area.

This position operates in a professional law office environment and occasionally may require the carrying of items of up to 20 pounds. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.

At LASNNY, we value a diverse, inclusive workforce and provide equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees. All qualified applicants for employment will be considered without regard to an individual's race, color, sex, gender identity, gender expression, religion, age, national origin or ancestry, citizenship, physical or mental disability, medical condition, family care status, marital status, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, genetic information, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local laws.

We strongly encourage applications from women, BIPOC, LGBTQI+ persons, protected veterans, applicants and recipients of public assistance, older adults, and people with disabilities.

If you are unable to submit your application because of incompatible assistive technology or a disability, please contact us at LASNNY, and we will reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with disabilities to the extent required by applicable law.
