About Kulkoski Michael B

Michael B. Kulkoski is a Green Bay attorney located at 414 E Walnut St who concentrates his practice on Social Security law and workers compensation, two areas that frequently intersect for clients who have been injured on the job or become unable to work due to a medical condition. His focused practice means clients are working with an attorney whose attention is directed at the specific legal challenges facing disabled and injured workers. The combination of Social Security and workers compensation in a single practice is meaningful because benefits from both systems can overlap, and navigating that relationship requires careful planning. Clients who receive workers compensation payments while also applying for SSDI, for example, face specific offset rules that can affect the amount they receive from Social Security, and having an attorney familiar with both programs can help avoid costly mistakes.
