About Steven R.
Steven R. Earl earned a Bachelor of Science in anthropology from the University of Utah in 1999. He went on to study law at the University of Denver, receiving his J.D. in 2008. Those years of study framed an interest in systems that govern benefits and entitlements, and they set the stage for a career centered on disability claims and public benefits work.
After law school, Earl entered practice in Colorado. In 2009 he joined the McDivitt Law Office as an associate attorney, where he handled client intake and case preparation for a range of civil matters. Two years later he moved to Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh Jardine PC, continuing to develop litigation skills and courtroom experience. By 2014 he took on a leadership role as managing lawyer at Apex Disability Law LLC, overseeing daily operations and shaping case strategy for clients pursuing disability benefits.
Earl is admitted to practice in Colorado. His professional memberships reflect a steady involvement in organizations tied to trial work and disability representation. He has been a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives since 2009. He joined the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association in 2010 and the Denver Bar Association in 2013. He is also listed with the Colorado Bar Association’s Public and Legal Services section beginning in 2008. These affiliations connect him to continuing education and to peers who litigate on behalf of claimants.
Throughout his career Earl has concentrated on matters related to Social Security disability and other disability benefit claims. His work typically involves preparing claims, representing clients before administrative law judges, and handling appeals when needed. He has experience managing case files, gathering medical evidence, and guiding clients through administrative processes that can be difficult to navigate alone. His background in anthropology and subsequent legal training contribute to a practical approach when evaluating evidence and client histories.
