M. Katherine Sullivan

I had a contentious situation trying to get a major national insurance company to pay benefits on short & long term disability policies which I had paid premiums on for years. I received a referral to Ms Sullivan from a relative. Once brought up to speed on my situation she "took the bull by the ...horns" and within a few weeks I received the funds for several back months of benefits. The insurance company continued to stop benefits without prior notice a couple more times over a 3 year period, this despite fact SSDI accepted my first application for disability benefits early on. Atty Sullivan "nudged" them again and again to keep my benefits flowing. As I approached the time limit on the benefit period, the insurer again stopped paying me over a year before the scheduled expiration. Atty Sullivan carefully reviewed my options and we ended up filing suit in a federal court on alleged multiple counts of action. After about 4 months she negotiated a final settlement which pleased me very much. I found Atty Sullivan to be very easy to deal with. She spoke in language I understood, never "over promised" on potential results and "held my hand" when needed as events arose and responded promptly to email & phone messages. I also found her fee schedule to be very fair without some of the added fees and expenses added by law firms. So yes, I had to pay an attorney to get the benefits I was entitled to but it was a small price to pay in the end. Unfortunately there are still major insurance companies that feel they can take your money and ignore you when you file for the benefits. A very sad state of affairs. Lastly, there were many issues that cropped up during the 3+ years Atty Sullivan helped me. I found her breadth of knowledge on soo many issues to be incredible. This review may seem to be a bit over the top, but it reflects my actual personal experience. I am a retired financial executive so I spent thousands of hours over 40 years working with attorneys and she just stands out as one of the best. I whole heartedly endorse Atty Sullivan and believe you will not find any better, by almost any measurement criteria.

Attorney Sullivan is a professional attorney is all sense of the term! Authentic, honest and hard working. Upfront about her costs for her billing hours and is fair. She listened to my entire story and, over the course of my case, was able to get a fair and reasonable outcome in my favor that has ena...bled me to live with the grace and dignity of being able to pay for my health care insurance needs, rent, and bills and not live homeless. I am so grateful for her work as a disability attorney, and would highly recommend her as a skilled professional to help you with your situation. Give her a try. She's very understanding and empathetic. :) Good Luck.

A change in my health caused me to be unable to work any longer and I didn't know where to turn. I contacted the Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Association for advice and as well as other assistance they gave me, they referred me to Ms. Sullivan for representation with SSDI and Long Term disability insu...rance claims and appeals. At our meeting Kate immediately put me at ease. She clearly explained what my options were and answered all my questions. She introduced me to to her assistant Cori and we agreed on fees. She started work on my case. It can be a long and drawn out process with various "bumps in the road" but Ms. Sullivan reassured me and kept me informed throughout the entire journey. All the while I was in constant email and phone contact with her extremely competent and capable assistant, Cora. I can't say enough good about the care and representation Ms. Sullivan provided me.
