If you are a Veteran seeking assistance with your benefits, call us today!

NEW! In December 2006, Public Law 109-461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Act), was signed into law. Section 101 of the Act amended chapter 59 of title 38, United States Code, governing the recognition of individuals for the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for benefits before VA. Effective June 20, 2007, the Act permits claimants seeking VA benefits to hire and pay an attorney or agent after a notice of disagreement has been filed.
