Description:

Wettermark Keith's Veterans Disability Practice is expanding and seeking to hire a VA Attorney (entry-level or experienced) with a strong interest in veterans disability law. Our veterans practice has been built over more than a decade and is structured, production-driven, and focused on delivering meaningful results for disabled veterans nationwide.

Candidates who are able to be based in person in our Birmingham office are preferred. However, this position may be performed remotely for experienced candidates who are already proficient in VA disability law. Entry-level attorneys looking for a remote position should expect structured, hands-on training in Birmingham before transitioning to a remote schedule.

Reviewing VBMS and claims files in detail
Identifying legal errors and viable theories of entitlement
Drafting and filing appeals and written arguments
Preparing Higher-Level Reviews and Board appeals
Communicating directly with clients
Managing deadlines and workflow independently

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys producing strong written work efficiently and taking responsibility for outcomes.

Qualifications:

J.D. required
Active bar license in at least one state required
Admission to CAVC a plus (not required)
Entry-level candidates will be considered if they demonstrate strong writing ability and a serious commitment to veterans disability practice

Ideal Candidate:

Organized and deadline-driven
Comfortable managing a meaningful caseload
Strong written communicator
Self-motivated and accountable
Values efficiency and measurable output
Genuinely committed to representing veterans
Experience in VA disability practice is strongly preferred, but high-performing attorneys new to the field will be considered.
