Navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system can be overwhelming — especially after you've already been denied the benefits you earned through your service. Whether your claim was denied, underrated, or delayed, you don’t have to face the appeals process alone.

At my firm, I represent veterans and their families across Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee in appealing VA benefits decisions. I provide hands-on, strategic support at every stage of the process and offer my services on a contingency fee — meaning you pay nothing unless we win.

You may have the right to appeal if:

• Your disability claim was denied

• You received a disability rating that’s too low

• You believe your condition should be service-connected

• The VA reduced your existing benefits

• You’re seeking Dependents and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) after the loss of a veteran

Every case is unique. I take the time to understand your specific circumstances and build a tailored plan to fight back.

The modern VA appeals system—revised under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA)—offers several options. Choosing the right path is critical. I guide you through:

1. Supplemental Claims

If you have new and relevant evidence (e.g., updated medical records, buddy statements), we can file a supplemental claim to strengthen your case.

2. Higher-Level Review

This option allows a more senior VA adjudicator to re-examine your original claim decision—without new evidence. It's ideal for correcting clear errors or misinterpretations of your record.

3. Appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals

If you want your case heard by a Veterans Law Judge, we can file an appeal directly with the BVA. This may include:

• A direct review of your file

• Submitting additional evidence

• Requesting a live hearing before the judge

I will help you determine which option gives your case the strongest footing, and I’ll handle the legal work from start to finish.
