Representation for veterans at every stage of the VA appeals process — from supplemental claims through Federal court.
Navigating VA disability appeals requires specialized knowledge of statutes, regulations, and VA adjudication procedures that general-practice attorneys rarely possess. Many veterans self-represent or rely on overburdened free services — often resulting in underdeveloped claims, missed issues, and denied appeals that could have been won.
Attorney Washington has spent years handling complex VA matters through the UCLA Veterans Legal Clinic, including difficult appeals involving earlier effective dates, clear and unmistakable error, and character of discharge barriers. That depth of experience is what this firm brings to each case it accepts.
Contingency fee — calculated as a percentage of retroactive (past-due) benefits awarded during the representation. No fee is charged on future ongoing monthly benefits. No fees are collected unless benefits are awarded.
The firm prioritizes quality over volume. Cases are accepted selectively based on a thorough review of the record, legal merit, and the firm's capacity to litigate the matter fully. An initial consultation includes a preliminary assessment of where the case stands and what arguments are available.
Veterans with a VA Claims Review Service report already in hand may proceed directly to an engagement discussion if representation is warranted.
Consider the VA Claims Review Service — a $500 flat-fee evidence and forms review with a written opinion on your claim's viability. No representation required.
