{Client Victories – 5/16/11}

Brianne Kucerik of Weil Gotshal worked tirelessly for more than 3 years on behalf of a client seeking SSI benefits, based on both mental and physical disabilities. After being denied several years ago, the client reapplied, and Brianne spent countless hours advocating for her with SSA, which finally paid off when she was awarded both Title II benefits & SSI going back to 2009. Thanks, Brianne!
