Best experience ever.

Sara Spindler was my contact with Cuddigham Law. I can’t express how amazing she made this process. Very kind and available for any questions I had. Walking through disability approval can be a bit stressful. I am incredibly grateful that I have been approved! Thank you so very much Sara!!

Outstanding Results for my VA Claim!

Several years ago, I filed a claim with the VA that was denied because I had not included proof that I was currently receiving treatment for the issue. I did not follow through with providing the requested documentation. I decided to revisit the issue about 6 months ago. I decided to use Cuddigan Law... after find them online. An assistant contacted me and asked me lots of questions about existing issues that might have been related to my service in the Air Force. Then, I spoke with Sean Cuddigan. He not only submitted me for the original issue, but he recommended that I file for a couple of other health issues that I had not even considered. His office handled pretty much everything for me. All I had to do was fill out some paperwork and help get medical records. Two of the claims he submitted were approved within 6 months. His office did an excellent and thorough job resulting in an outstanding result for me and my family. I highly recommend that you consider using his office if you think you have an ongoing health issue in any way related to your military service. Because of a change in VA regulations around the time that he submitted my claim, he was actually not eligible to receive any compensation for doing the work on my claim. My wife and I thought it was appropriate to pay him because his work resulted in such a good result for us, but he refused any payment from us. I even offered to send him a "tip" for his work, but he said he would not be able to sleep at night if we did so. His ethics are impeccable and we highly recommend Cuddigan Law for your VA claim!

Excellent to work with! Knows his stuff!

Team member, Joy, prepared all information for Social Security disability appeal before my first meeting with Sean. Sean explained appeal process fully and answered all my questions satisfactorily. By end of meeting, all information was organized and appeal ready to file. Both Sean and Joy were effec...tive, efficient, friendly, and professional. Was able to contact cuddigan law with questions and / or updates as needed, with prompt response always. With their help, I won my disability appeal, including back pay. I even received a follow-up phone call afterwards from Sean, to see if I had any further questions or needs. I highly recommend cuddigan law to anyone needing help with governmental benefits. They truly give lawyers a great name!

Then I meet Sean, he was clear with me from the start, he and his staff communicated with me, gathered all my documentation, answered all my questions and concerns, stayed on top of my case and came prepared for my ...Disability Hearing and won it! I was in bad shape and he came through for me and saved my life! I'm so thankful. This is the guy, the company you want on your side fighting for your disability.
