Posted by Jacquelyn S. | April 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

You saw me in a way that I couldn’t see me

I had tried fighting with Social Security on my own for about 4 years after having a pretty significant stroke at only 55. I had been an RN for a long time. Some personal friends of both Tim and myself recommended him to me. “Let him fight the battle” they said. So I hired him, gave him my story, and... turned it over to the Cuddigan team. They were kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and most of all could see me in a way that helped me believe I deserved disability. I was very used to being tough and OK with completely changing my life since the stroke. Like I said, Tim understood my experience, understood my tolerance, but in the end, still believed I deserved help. It was a good win! Thankyou tremendously.

Attorney Review

CUDDIGAN Sean took the time to listen to my situation thoroughly before being completely candid regarding the long and complicated road ahead of me when I filed for disability. I felt prepared and informed every step of the way and his staff was only a phone call away with prompt, courteous answe...rs to all of my questions. At my trial, Tim exhibited the preparedness, confidence and professionalism that only an experienced attorney can provide which resulted in winning my case. He called me personally to inform me of the outcome and patiently explained what I could expect going forward. I highly recommend Cuddigan Law and I am grateful for their dedication to my case.

The best law firm in Omaha for social security disability!

We have been dealing with rejections from Social Security for disability for our 21-year old Autistic son for the past 3 three or four years. Once we hired Tim and Sean Cuddigan, it was the best decision we made. They are the best when it comes to know social security disability laws. We were just... notified that our son received Social Security Disability. For us, this is a relief because it's not about the money! Its about the doors opened to our son! Thank you Sean and Tim Cuddigan for helping us maneuver through the maze of Social Security Disability! The best law firm in the state when it comes to Social Security Disability! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
