David Stevens

Attorney

David Stevens joined Impact Disability Law in the spring of 2025. He brings a unique wealth of experience both as a disability attorney and as an employee inside the Social Security Administration working directly with the Administrative Law Judges who make disability determinations. In addition to his skills as a hearing attorney, David also mentors our entire staff to enhance every employee’s understanding and expertise regarding the disability process.

David earned his bachelor’s degree in education (cum laude) and coached elite competitive swimming until returning to law school after the age of 40! He ran his own law firm that included an extensive disability practice before spending 7 years in the Social Security Administration helping Judges prepare for disability hearings and drafting disability decisions for the Judges to edit and sign.

David had a disabled sibling who was part of his inspiration to attend law school and advocate for people with disabilities.
