The Veterans Law Office

The Veterans Law Office is a nationwide veterans disability law firm dedicated to representing disabled veterans and their surviving spouses in claims for disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) before the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Our Approach

As a veterans disability law firm, we take an aggressive approach to scrutinizing the VA’s rating decisions and other decisional documents to try to understand the VA’s rationale in denying your claim or failing to grant you the appropriate degree of disability under the relevant rating schedule or the proper effective date. We will then gather the information necessary to establish how and why that rationale was incorrect by speaking with you and reviewing your VA claims file, including your service personnel and medical records as well as your post-service medical records. In closely scrutinizing the rationale underlying the VA’s decision and the evidence of record reviewed by the VA already in your claims file at the time of the decision, our veterans disability lawyers are then able to formulate an effective strategy to win your case on appeal.

No Fee Unless You Win

Our fee is 20 percent of your past-due benefits only if we win your case. If we do not win your case, there is no fee. This is the standard, twenty-percent contingent fee set by the VA for withholding purposes. Though the VA allows attorneys to charge a contingent fee of up to one-third, The Veterans Law Office believes that a twenty-percent contingent fee is fair and reasonable even in the most difficult cases involving extensive archival research, novel legal issues, and/or extensive development of the medical record.

In addition to representing veterans in appeals for disability compensation, our law firm also provides limited pro bono representation to veterans who need to file new claims for service connection or new claims for a TDIU rating. All veterans should be aware that no representative, including attorneys and claims agents, is allowed to charge any fee for representing a veteran in an initial application for benefits with the VA.
