Meghan E McCulloch

I was referred to Meghan by another attorney. I had been involved in a car accident in 2016, and it was becoming increasingly obvious that I was not improving to a pre-accident level of function. I met with Meghan to fill out the initial paperwork, and for me, it was an amazing experience to have s...omeone not question my limitations. I was very fortunate to be able to reach Meghan when necessary. I know how busy she was, both at work and at home. The car accident case, and the resulting disability, stretched on or *years*, and throughout this process, Meghan was supportive and helpful. She empathized with the difficulties in obtaining some of the medical records. This case was a mammoth undertaking that involved thousands of pages of medical records, insurance forms, doctors’ reports, radiology scans, and receipts. Meghan was also willing and able to coordinate with the lawyer handling the car accident case. Meghan was very clear on “next steps” and what to expect. Not only did Social Security have a significant backlog, but after the global pandemic led to a shutdown, it seemed like everything would be on hold indefinitely. But, Social Security made a miraculous decision to workshare with field offices, and we were able to arrange for a phone hearing with the administrative judge. Meghan referenced minute details from my medical records to hit home the severity of my limitations. Her negotiating skills garnered full approval with substantial backpay, monthly payments and auxiliary benefits for my children. This settlement enabled me to pay off debt, stock emergency savings, and to pay school tuition. Without Meghan’s fierce advocating on my behalf, impeccable preparation and guidance, this case would have gone awry.
