Cullan & Cullan LLC - Omaha, NE

Doctors Practicing Law: A Unique Legal Advantage

Cullan & Cullan LLC stands apart in the legal field with a distinction that few firms can claim: their attorneys are also Medical Doctors. This unique qualification allows them to bridge the gap between complex medicine and the law, providing unparalleled representation for victims of catastrophic injury and medical negligence. Based in the historic Old Market district of Omaha, the firm was built on a family legacy of advocacy. The attorneys, Dr. Patrick Cullan and Dr. Joseph Cullan, bring a dual perspective to every case, understanding not just the legal statutes but the physiological realities of their clients' injuries. This “Doctor-Lawyer” advantage is critical when cross-examining opposing medical experts or explaining complicated medical concepts to a jury.

Expertise in Catastrophic and Birth Injuries

The firm specializes in the most severe and heartbreaking cases, particularly those involving Birth Injuries like cerebral palsy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Their medical background allows them to spot signs of negligence in fetal monitoring strips and delivery records that other lawyers might miss. Beyond medical malpractice, they apply their scientific knowledge to Trucking Accidents and Wrongful Death claims, ensuring that the full extent of a client's future medical needs is accurately calculated and presented.
