Veterans benefits

A veteran serving veterans.

Brian is a VA-accredited attorney, authorized to represent veterans and their families in benefits claims and appeals in any state. Veteran to veteran, plain English, no runaround.

Sound familiar?

  • The VA denied your claim or rated you lower than you believe is right
  • Your effective date looks wrong
  • You have new evidence for a claim that was denied
  • You're a surviving spouse or dependent with a benefits question

How we help

Once the VA has issued a decision, an attorney can take it further: supplemental claims, higher-level reviews, and appeals to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. By law there is no fee for an initial claim, so for a first application we point you to accredited service organizations that help at no cost.

Fee agreements are in writing and reviewed by the VA. No upfront payment, nothing from your future monthly benefits, and in most cases nothing owed unless retroactive benefits are recovered.

Common questions

Do I have to live in South Dakota, Wyoming or Utah?

No. VA benefits are federal, and Brian is accredited to represent veterans in any state.

Can you also help with my estate plan or a firearms trust?

Yes, and many veterans do both. Ask about the veterans and first responders planning program in your consultation.

Talk with a VA-accredited attorney.

If you've received a VA decision you believe is wrong, let's talk. No obligation, and in most cases no fee unless retroactive benefits are recovered.
