The laws have changed! You can now hire the veterans disability lawyer of your choosing to help you obtain VA benefits!
VETERANS: PLEASE READ
We will represent you regardless of where you live in the world. Many vets believe that they should choose a veterans disability lawyer that is located near them. The truth is, location doesn't matter!
You should only choose a veteran's disability lawyer based on their ability to provide you with top-level legal representation. Keller & Keller gives you this representation, and you'll never need to travel anywhere, because we do it right.
Veterans across the United States have chosen us to help them obtain their VA disability benefits. The veterans we are helping have suffered from several types of war-time injuries. Some of the most common problems facing our vets that may qualify them for VA benefits include:
On June 20th 2007, Congress passed a law that will prove to change the lives for tens of thousands of disabled veterans across the United States. This new law allows vets to hire a veterans disability lawyer of their choosing. Veterans disability lawyers can become involved early in the process to help veterans dispute a disability claim denial or rating.
It's a fact that hiring a veterans disability lawyer greatly increases your chances of receiving VA disability benefits. Today, disabled veterans are arming themselves with the right lawyer and receiving benefits and compensation that never would have been possible in the past.
The staggering rise in VA disability claims is happening for two reasons:
1) Today's U.S. soldier is much more likely to survive a traumatic battlefield injury.
Advances in medical treatment and body armor have saved countless lives. However, while soldier's are more likely to survive war-time trauma, there is an increasing number of troops that are returning home with debilitating injuries that have altered their every day living.
2) A new adminsitration has recognized the need to re-evaluate claims that had previously been denied. Recent examples of these types of claims include Vietnam vets suffering from Agent Orange exposure, and vets suffering from Gulf War Syndrome.
For these reasons and many others, the VA faces hundreds of thousands of backlogged cases, and veterans are forced to undergo a very complicated and frustrating application process to be considered for disability benefits. Even if they are able to properly submit their application, most are denied and then forced to appeal. Worse yet, the appeals process can take years to complete, leaving a disabled veteran with no answers.
Sadly, though their injuries are real, disabled soldiers continue to be denied VA benefits. It's an injustice and it's certainly not the "thank you" our disabled veterans deserve. This is unacceptable; however, disabled veterans NOW have hope!
