Posted by Ian | November 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Never gave up on me!

For over 15 years I struggled with mental illness, to the point of suicidal tendencies. And I found rock bottom in the state of Nebraska, with most places pushing me out the door with a halfhearted smile and a good luck on your search for help. I found that help in Mr. Tim Cuddigan. He immediately re...presented me after I was wrongly terminated and spiraling out in mental pain. Mr. Cuddigan went out of his way to help me navigate the muddy waters of disability and mental illness, even when most of the institutions I desperately needed for help sent me out the door with technicalities and barriers insurmountable for a person with a severe mental illness (even hospitals!). In the end, he made sure to fight for me and my rights, and he is one of the reasons I'm here now, able to get the help I deserve with the benefits that are insured for times that destroy peoples lives, like mine. He didn't even get paid through all this struggle to help me (I am sorry that you weren't!), but that didn't stop his drive to find help and the light of life for a person in complete darkness. Thank you.

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.
