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.

Compasionate, Knowledgeable and Professional

Tim Cuddigan places his client's interests first. He carefully reviewed the facts of the social security disability application for my dependent adult daughter and put together an effective and convincing case to pursue a positive outcome decided by the administrative judge. Tim has the experience an...d intellectual skills to know which evidence would be significant in an administrative review for benefits. He shares my belief that legitimate disability benefits for my disabled daughter based on my work record and SS taxes are an earned benefit and not an "entitlement". He put together convincing evidence and knew what facts were important to present to the SS administrative judge to bring about a favorable determination on my daughters behalf. He is a kind and compassionate advocate for deserving disabled individuals that has the legal expertise to help maneuver the difficult and lengthy SS application process. He was willing to spend time effectively discussing the facts of the application and worked with us and my daughter as a team. There are no guaranties when going before an administrative judicial review, but Tim was integral to a successful outcome for my daughters case. His staff was great to work with quickly responded to our inquiries and helped us get the documentation we needed to present. Our experience with Tim Cuddigan and the Cuddigan law firm was truly positive.

James I was happy to help you and your family obtain benefits for your disabled adult daughter. Thank you for the feedback. I shared with you the experience that my family had with my disabled sister and the long fight we had to get her back on social security disability benefits. I wish you and your family the best.

Very Satisfied!

Tim did a great job explaining the Social Security - Disability process to us, and the rest of the staff was very helpful to process the claim, and keeping me informed through the end.

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.
