I highly recommend Patrick Cavanaugh

I am grateful to Patrick Cavanaugh and his staff for helping me to get approval for my social security disability income. He answered all my questions and was very respectful and professional.

Never give up

I basically gave up after applying for SSD 3 times. Hired Patrick, we were denied . He went ahead and appealed and won!

They made a stressful situation so much easier to navigate.

Facing the devastating news of a loved one being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer is overwhelming enough—and navigating the complexities of applying for SSI was the last thing I wanted to deal with. But it was necessary to ensure we could cover basic expenses.With special recognition to Mary, Kate, and ...Bridgette, the Cavanaugh Law Firm and staff, stepped in and took that burden off my shoulders completely, allowing me to focus on what truly mattered. They were always kind, honest, and incredibly informative throughout the process. Saying “thank you” doesn’t feel like enough. I’m beyond grateful for how they made an incredibly difficult situation feel manageable.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
