Attorney

McDermott Law, LLC, a boutique Plaintiffs-focused firm located in the Denver Tech Center, has an opening for a full-time associate attorney. The firm is dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals who have claims for insurance benefits in the areas of long-term and short-term disability, life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), health, and long-term care.
