Getting Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits can be a long, drawn-out process. When you want someone to help you with your claim for disability benefits, what are you looking for? Many people in Council Bluffs, Iowa and the surrounding area have chosen Cuddigan Law, to help them recover benefits. Although our office is in Omaha, we are able to help individuals who live in Council Bluffs and southwest Iowa with their disability claims. The Social Security hearing office in Omaha hears the claims for people that live in the surrounding area. We represent people who live in Pottawattomie, Harrison, Shelby, Mills, Cass, Montgomery, Fremont and Page counties in Iowa. The following are some reasons to consider Cuddigan Law firm.
For his entire legal career Sean Cuddigan has focused exclusively on winning Social Security and VA benefits for people who have disabilities. He joined Cuddigan Law, a family run firm, as a law clerk in 2005 and was admitted to the bar in 2008. He represents Social Security clients in Nebraska and Iowa and VA clients nationwide as an accredited VA attorney.
As a highly skilled advocate, he assists clients with filing initial applications, he files appeals on their behalf, and he vigorously represents them at administrative hearings.
“The biggest enjoyment I get out of practicing law is making a difference in my client’s life. There is no greater sense of accomplishment than to help a client get ready for a hearing, win the hearing, and to help the client get the financial support and medical benefits that they need. A lot of my clients really struggle during the disability process and it makes me happy to see them smile after they win their case.”
Growing up in a small Nebraska town Kim Schram developed lifelong values of hard work, loyalty, and compassion. These values have served her well as a lawyer since 1995 and in exclusively practicing Social Security disability law since 2005.
“I wanted to be a lawyer because I wanted to help people,” she explains. “I enjoy practicing in the area of disability because I feel like I am doing just that. The clients that I see are people that have worked hard most of their lives and because of an illness or accident they become unable to earn for themselves and their family. I see people that are suffering with health, employment, and financial issues. The process takes a long time to navigate so the stress on individuals and families is extreme. Stress not only for the individual client, but extended family and friends that are helping that individual client survive.”
