Why Should You Hire A VA Disability Lawyer To Handle Your Disability Appeal?

The VA regularly denies valid disability benefits claims and often makes the same mistakes in their decisions. Veterans law is complicated and involves the intersection of medicine and law.

How We Can Help You

Our VA Appeals Process

Step 1 – Evaluate

Our process begins with gathering information about your case and reviewing the VA decision you want to appeal. Our attorneys will review your case at no charge and determine if we are able to offer you representation.

Step 2 – Representation

After completing our evaluation of your case and determining that we can help with your appeal, we will offer you representation. We will answer any remaining questions you have about the process, and explain our contingency fee structure. Once you hire our firm, we will send you our initial packet to review and sign. This packet includes our fee agreement and documents necessary to access your VA claims file.

Step 3 – Review Claims File

The VA claims file, or C-file, contains all the documentation that the VA has in connection with claims for benefits. We do a thorough review of the entire c-file to verify what the VA has and what is missing. This is a vital part of our process because it provides us with a roadmap of what we need to effectively represent our clients. The more claims and evidence filed, the larger the c-file will be.

Step 4 – Determine Strategy

Once we have completed our review of your c-file, we will advise you on which claim(s) should be pursued on appeal, what evidence we need to strengthen the claim(s), and come to an agreement on our strategy going forward on your case.

Step 5- Case Development

Once our strategy is set, we will work on gathering the evidence necessary to succeed on appeal. This could include medical opinions, vocational expert reports, psychological evaluations, lay statements, and other supporting documentation. We will also draft a legal brief to submit with any necessary supporting evidence.

Step 6 -Submit Legal Brief and Evidence

We submit our final brief and supporting evidence to the VA and stay in communication with you until a decision is made.

We know that your disability claim is important, and our team of disability lawyers is dedicated
to helping veterans and other claimants get the benefits they deserve.
