Veterans and Military Issues
​
Veterans, members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families may be eligible for a broad range of programs and services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD). If you have an injury or disease that was treated while you were on active duty or if your active duty service made an existing injury or disease worse, then you may qualify for disability compensation. However, as many service members and veterans are aware, this process can be time consuming, difficult to understand, and frustrating.
The amount of compensation you may qualify for depends on a number of factors and having a VA Accredited attorney to assist you with the claims process can help alleviate some of the headaches and frustrations caused by this complex system that was set up to help our nation's veterans get the compensation that they are rightfully owed after putting their lives on the line for us. Our legal staff has experience with dealing with medical disability matters and is here to help shepherd you through the VA process to help ensure your claim has the best likelihood for success!
