Job description

At DK Law, we don’t just represent our clients. We stand with them, all the way. We’re modern injury and accident attorneys who go all the way for every client, from every background. At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful belief: every client’s experience matters, and we honor it as if it were our own. From the very first call to the final resolution, we approach every case with the mindset that it’s going the distance.

That same mindset fuels our workplace culture. We’re a team of purpose-driven professionals who care deeply, move fast, and never lose sight of the human side of what we do. If you're passionate about making an impact, growing with a team that values excellence and empathy, and being part of something bigger, we’d love to meet you.

We are seeking a Liens Specialist to support our Post-Treatment Department in identifying, negotiating, and resolving liens and reimbursement claims related to client settlements or awards. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-volume environments, understands the intricacies of medical billing and legal compliance, and can advocate for the best financial outcomes for our clients.

What You Will Do

• Review case files to identify potential liens (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, ERISA, private health insurers).
• Request and evaluate lien statements, medical records, and billing documents.
• Confirm lien validity and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
• Negotiate lien reductions with insurers, healthcare providers, and government agencies.
• Draft dispute letters, compromise proposals, and resolution agreements.
• Collaborate with attorneys to develop strategic settlement plans.
• Maintain detailed and organized lien records, deadlines, and resolutions.
• Track payment disbursements and provide regular updates to internal teams.
• Prepare lien resolution summaries and client-facing reports.
• Stay current on changes in lien laws and Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) regulations.
• Assist with audits or appeals as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• Minimum 1 year of experience in lien resolution, medical billing, workers’ compensation, or personal injury law.
• In-depth understanding of Medicare/Medicaid lien processes, ERISA, and private insurance liens.
• Strong negotiation and critical thinking abilities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and case management systems (e.g., Clio, SmartAdvocate).
• Highly organized with the ability to prioritize and manage a high caseload independently.
