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.

Mr. Sullivan thought outside the box for us!
Mr. Sullivan helped my son get disability so he could get on the organ transplant list.

"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!"
