You want great service and representation, I recommend Jeff Wagner. After consulting with other…read moreattorneys, I chose to retain Jeff for a criminal case in 2019. This awesome lawyer fought for me, and had some hefty charges reduced or dismissed. When you know you know! Even during my troubling times, my experience with Jeff was great. He was very compassionate, understanding, and provided excellent advice until the end of my court hearing. Even, today, Feb 21, 2023. I called Jeff to discuss some things, and he was very helpful. Jeff took some time out his busy schedule to remember me and help with a concern. Just like in the past, Jeff was still humorous, transparent, and shared his knowledge of legal information. I appreciate Jeff's flexibility to help me file a petition. I would recommend his service to anyone. He knows how to make people feel special even when it seems like the world has turned against them. What I can say about Jeff and his law office, is that you will feel appreciated. Everyone including Angelica(the front desk lady) is extremely helpful and willing to address the clients needs. They have always been available by email/phone whenever I've had suggestions, questions or concerns. If you want someone who pays attention to detail, is honest, responsive, experienced, sets realistic expectations, works diligently and remains available, then he's your guy. I will continue to recommend Mr. Wagner to my family and friends.

I ultimately reached 100% Permanent & Total, and I appreciate the assistance that helped finalize…read moremy VA claim. However, I want to share something extremely important for other veterans to understand before signing a contingency agreement with any VA disability law firm. The fee structure in my case was explained using language like the following: "Our fees are all inclusive in the percentage of the Fee Agreement... 33 percent of any backpay award or supplemental awards based off of our work." Based on wording like "based off of our work," many veterans (including myself) will reasonably interpret that to mean the fee applies to the backpay generated during the time the firm is actively working on the claim. However, what I ultimately learned after having to research VA disability law myself--because the explanation in both the conversation and email was ambiguous to me--is that contingency fees in VA disability cases can apply to the entire retroactive payment created by the rating increase, even if the effective date goes back long before the firm became involved. For example, in my situation: * I began working my VA claim in June 2024 on my own, gathering records, medical evidence, and spending significant time navigating the process myself. * I hired the firm in December 2025. * A supplemental claim filed shortly after resulted in my rating reaching 100%. * Because the VA maintained the effective date back to June 2024, the retroactive payment covered a much longer time period. Under the contingency agreement, the firm's 33% fee applied to that entire retroactive amount, even though the firm had only been involved for a shorter portion of the overall claim timeline. To illustrate how different this can look depending on timing: I referred another veteran to the same firm who was also moved from 90% to 100%, but because his claim had only been active for a short period of time, his retroactive payment -- and therefore the fee -- was dramatically smaller. My purpose in sharing this is not to criticize the contingency model itself, but to help other veterans clearly understand how retroactive benefits and attorney fees can interact, especially when a claim has already been active for many months or years before legal representation begins. My advice to other veterans considering legal representation: * Ask very clearly how contingency fees apply if your claim is backdated months or years before the firm becomes involved. * Request a simple example showing how the fee would be calculated in that scenario. * Make sure you fully understand how the effective date of your claim affects retroactive payments and attorney fees. The VA disability system is extremely complex, and legal assistance can absolutely help veterans achieve the benefits they deserve. I simply hope that sharing my experience helps other veterans make fully informed decisions before signing a contingency agreement. In simple terms for veterans who may already be close to 100%: if your claim has been open for a long time and a firm helps push you over the threshold, the fee may be calculated from years of backpay -- not just the months they worked on the case -- so be sure you fully understand how that works before signing.
