About Daniel
Biography
Over the past 2 decades of working in social security disability law, I believe my primary duty as a disability attorney is not to guarantee I will win every case, but to guarantee that I will always fight to win each case. I believe this can be done in a respectful manner, however, it is my goal that our Firm provides compassionate and zealous advocacy for every single client who gives us the opportunity to represent him or her.
Before starting his private practice as a disability attorney, Mr. Parmele worked with the Social Security Administration as a Senior Staff Attorney. He worked directly with the Administrative Law Judges (ALJs), helping them determine who would receive benefits and who would not. Often, he alone would bear the burden of issuing decisions for claimants. For years, Mr. Parmele witnessed firsthand the difficulties that worthy people faced as they tried to get Social Security disability benefits for themselves and their hurting families.
In 1995, Mr. Parmele started his private practice so that he could put his knowledge of the Social Security system to work to help the disabled of America. Since that time, he has worked as a disability attorney on behalf of Social Security claimants and their claims.
Mr. Parmele has a strong faith in God that has changed his life. He has founded his firm on biblical principles such as genuine trust in Christ, hope, care, compassion, fairness, honesty, justice, and taking up the fight for those in need.

Great Team
My Social Security Disability application process was made easy with the professional team and came through the first time, just as they said within six months. Excellent team to work with in person and on the phone.

Disability approved
My lawyer was on top of my case. If he had not pointed out the many times I had missed work and was on disability through my job because of my medical issues I would not have won my case. He was able to show that I was unable to work a normal work schedule and the medical advisor for the social secu...

Early but confident
You guys know what the process is and are familiar with potential issues and benefits that can impact my case and that gives me some comfort I have only had the initial meeting and have not actually spoken with an attorney yet so my feedback shouldn’t have much weight at this time but I certainly fee...

Daniel A. Parmele's Lawyer Endorsements
"Dan has unique experience as a former Senior Staff Attorney with Social Security. He understands this area of law and how to win a disability case. He has built a succesful law firm that has literally helped thousands of disabled workers win the benefits to which they were lawfully entitled. I also believe Dan truly cares about his clients. Helping the disabled is a mission for him and his entire team. I have known Dan for over 20 years as a competitor and now as a colleague and I have tremendous respect for his honesty, ability, and passion. I would recommend him highly to anyone."
"Dan is perhaps the most knowledgeable social security disability lawyer in the state. In addition, he is a person of great character both personally and professionally."
"I have worked for Dan for many years. In that time, he has always tried to find ways to better serve our clients. He is not afraid to fight for a client at hearing or appeal a case to higher courts. He is passionate about helping people."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Dan has tirelessly worked to create a practice that truly advocates for those in need. He is incredibly experienced when it comes to disability law, and has fostered a firm atmosphere that thrives on knowledge, compassion, and zealous advocacy."
"Dan Parmele is one of the best comprehensive Social Security attorneys in the region. He is willing to stand up to judges and fight for his clients from application all the way up to federal court. That has become more necessary as Social Security policies have become more anti-claimant. You cannot hire a better attorney."
"Dan puts his clients first and will zealously advocate for them."
"I have worked for Dan for about 16 years. I have stayed at Parmele Law Firm so long because Dan has always been concerned with doing what is best and right for the client, not simply increasing a win rate."
"I work of counsel for Dan since September 2015. I was admitted to the Kansas Bar in 1970 and have had a varied career which has included being a prosecutor in Miami, Fl, Wichita , Ks, private practice, Legal Aid, and have specialized in Social Security Disability law since 1997. I have organized and contributed to a disability law seminar for the WBA from 2001 to present day. I have found Dan to be a very compassionate, professional and skilled advocate for his clients. Dan has done a great job in organizing his firm with fail safes to meet deadlines, to encourage his staff to provide excellent service and ongoing training to keep up with changes in the law. I retired from my former practice in March of 2015 and have been amazed by the work ethic Dan inspires in his employees. His attorneys do 3xs as much work as I ever did. Unlike alot of practitioners, Dan's firm aggressively seeks benefits at the lower level and pursues meritorious claims to federal court."
