I am the managing partner at Sullivan and Associates. I have practiced extensively in the areas of Social Security Disability and Workers' Compensation. I have published a book for Social Security claimants called "Cutting Through the Red Tape". If you know anyone that may benefit from the book don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to provide them a free copy.
I enjoy cooking, gardening and painting in my spare time.

Thank you Mike!
Although I knew that, after having worked steadily for 40 years, I was disabled and no longer physically able to work due to severe neck and back pain and jumped through every hoop which Social Security had me do including traveling to Chicago to visit the Chief Neurosurgeopn at Loyola Medical Center...

The man who can answer all your questions!
Mr. Sullivan kept me up to date on my case . He stayed very calm during the my court hearing which helped me. I have recommend Michael to a few people and if he could not help them he would refer them to who could.

Michael is an excellent lawyer!
I would readily recommend Michael Sullivan as an attorney. I felt that Michael was incredibly helpful in resolving my Workers' Compensation case. He kept me very informed and I felt confident in his abilities as my attorney.

"Mr. Sullivan is highly knowledgeable about Social Security and Workers Compensation law. I met Mr. Sullivan at a seminar I attended titled, “Social Security Disability Bootcamp” on February 19, 2013. The attendees were mostly legal staff and attorneys and Mr. Sullivan was able to answer questions and give insight into many questionable areas of Social Security law. Mr. Sullivan also discussed how Workers’ Compensation benefits could affect Social Security benefits and I was highly impressed with his knowledge and understanding of how both benefits affect one other. I endorse this lawyer!"
