Scott McDaniel

Scott McDaniel is a Maryland attorney and the founder of the Law Office of Scott K. McDaniel, LLC. His current practice includes Social Security Disability matters involving SSDI and SSI, along with guardianship work. His background also includes representation of government employees in disability-related workplace matters. He brings experience with benefits, disability rights, and client circumstances that require careful documentation, legal analysis, and practical guidance through administrative or court-based processes.

Scott earned a B.A. in Economics from George Washington University and a J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. During law school, he received academic awards connected to Labor Law and Human Rights Law. His education combines economic analysis with legal study in areas related to employment and individual rights. That training supports his work evaluating disability benefits, understanding financial consequences, addressing legal protections, and helping clients navigate procedural requirements tied to disability and guardianship matters.

Scott previously worked for a government employees union, where he represented members in matters involving reasonable accommodation, disability discrimination, disability benefits, and other legal issues affecting workers with disabilities. Before practicing law, he worked in financial services and as a union iron worker. These experiences give him perspective on employment settings, financial concerns, and the real-world impact that disability can have on a person’s work, income, and independence.

Scott McDaniel is licensed in Maryland and belongs to professional organizations that include the Maryland State Bar Association and the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives. His current work centers on disability benefits and guardianship rather than a broad employment-law practice. His legal and professional background supports clients who need help with benefits, disability-related legal concerns, and protective arrangements requiring careful attention to personal and financial circumstances.
