I would like to start my experience with Werner, Hofman, Greig and Carcia by stating I am not the type of person that writes reviews or provides recommendations about companies or their particular employees. However, I am going to break my own rules about recommending anything publicly at this time. I am a former Marine Corps veteran that was injured severely several times in the Corps. When I was honorably discharged from the Marines, I had no exit physical nor medical questionnaire about my injuries. My command staff was very upset that I was not remaining in the Corps. Over the years the injuries I suffered never healed but intensified. I was finally told by a VFW representative I had the right to seek help from the Veterans Administration. That began a long difficult stressful battle of bureaucratic red tape in dealing with the long complicated compensation and pension part of the VA. I began my battle with the VA after skin cancer developed in the severely burnt areas on my body. I filed for compensation which was denied. My original denial was processed in Feb of 2015. Later other injuries were added to my long list of medical conditions. All of these documented service-connected injuries were denied by the VA review people. The same VFW recommended a legal VA assistant law firm that would help me with my case. This is where I talked to Mr Hoffman and we discussed our case At that time he was a member of the Gordon Law Partners firm in Florida. I signed their contracts which I found are very fair and up front. There are no hidden fees nor retainer fees They are paid from the settlement you receive from the VA If you do not win your case they do not collect any fees. So you have nothing to lose and everything to win or gain. During this Initial process Mr Hoffman assigned my case to a member of the firm named Mr Chris Sratton and his assistant Melissa Medina I am going to refer to them as Chris and Melisssa because of the respect I have for them They are much more than attorneys they are fighters. They are honest, hard working, knowledgable, professional, respectful, dedicated professionals that work for the veteran They took extra time to communicate with me about my concerns or the direction my appeal and case were moving. In 2023 Mr Stratton represented me at a Federal Administrative Law Judge hearing. He was very articulate in providing the Judge with the facts of my case and the lack of professional fact finding and medical justifications on denying my claims. My entire case was returned to the VA to be reconsidered on all counts. Now this meant that Mr Stratton and Melissa had to fight the VA all over because the VA does these things backwards. Sometime after the Federal Law hearing I was contacted by Mr Hoffman and his new legal firm, Werner Hoffman Greig and Carcia. They had formed their own firm and wanted to kno wif I would care to transfer my legal case over to them. I very quickly signed a new contract with WHG&G My representation seemed to improve BY that I mean when I would call in to the main telephone number under the old firm it would take days for the messages to be passed on. Not rue with WHG&G it was very quick for a reply. My VA Claim case was finally resolved in my favor on May 12th 2026 after over ten years of fighting the VA's roadblocks and jumping through hoops. I am now 100% military service connected. Chris and Melissa are the direct result of this finding. With out their hard work and dedication to serve us veterans this would not have happened. Most of us veterans already think, believe, know or feel that the VA and their administrators are only waiting for us to die so they can be released from the obligations they gave us all when we signed our enlistment papers and contracts. Do not allow the VA or the Government to deny the care or respect you deserve from this country for you and your families sacrifices. Fight for our right to be cared for. to assist yo9u in your endeavor contact the law firm of Werner, Hoffman , Greig and Garcia and seek their professional assistance. I am sure that every member of this legal team is a very competent and professional attorney. But I am very appreciative and very bias of Mr. Chris Stratton and Melissa Medina because with out these two outstanding professionals I would not be receiving my entitlements I know this is a long testament or review of WHG&C in reference to Mr Stratton and Ms Melissa Medina but anything shorter would not bring nor show the respect and admiration I have for these two individuals and this law firm I will also give my permission for WHG&C to give my information to any veteran who wishes to question me about my review. Good luck in your cases. You will be represented very well read more

Hello, my name is Dale, I am a Combat Veteran of the First Gulf War. I am sharing a little information about my situation leading up to hiring a Lawyer to win my VA Disability cases. I spent nearly 33 years off and on, by myself, filing, trying to get appointments, dealing with the " we lost your records" excuses, red tape and the, its " all in your mind " or " its not connected to your service " excuses. Then after decades of neglect and worsening health issues and injuries from my service in Iraq, Kuwait and various other areas. I finally had enough and sought out Legal Representation. Werner, Hoffman, Greg and Garcia almost immediately with in the first few months had my appointments rolling in with VES, QTC and OPTUM and got me rated with a 30%. Heather Hartley and her wonderful associates, that have been working for the last couple of years on my cases, have been super supportive, willing to listen to any and all issues that I have had, while offering great legal advice and solutions. Try to keep in mind, dealing with the VA Disability boards is both time consuming and frustrating. You will most always your first attempt be denied but then come the appeals processes. So the time it takes can be many months to a few years before you see the results you want. This is the Government, not the Lawyers fault. The Government sadly, defaults to deny, deny and deny. This being said, like a Pack of Attack Dogs, defending your Home from invaders. Heather, her staff and her Law Firm, know all the in's and outs and have been super fast and effective at finding Specialists to look into my cases and conditions helping me to achieve 70% then around 12 months later 90% with I.U. " Individually Unemployable " because my Health and Injuries got so bad, I could no longer work. Also on a related note, the information gathered from all the exams and specialists, helped me to get my SSDI, which is a totally different thing from VA Disability. I am still about to attend 2 more OPTUM Health VA exams, to cover Duty Assist Errors made by the Government, as I want ALL of my conditions listed related to my service. Heather and the Law Firm of Werner, Hoffman, Greg and Garcia have literally been a GOD send and an answer to my prayers. I highly recommend them for your Legal needs. I want to also take the time to Thank Them for all their help and patients with me and my cases. THANK YOU ALL! YOUR THE BEST! Sincerely, Dale Wilhelm, Veteran US Army. read more

This review is for MRS. HEATHER HARTLEY. Mrs. Hartley has been my personal Lawyer approximately 6 years. My history of claims with the VA dates back to 2001. I have represented myself, used legal assistance from VA Advocates and I have also had professional assistance from other Law Firms and Legal Aid Assistants. When I met Mrs. Hartley I had several cases in the appeal system. Mrs. Hartley resolved all of my appeals with backpay and also is responsible for "NEW" claims that I never was aware of. Her service was not just a step above all prior legal assistance. Other legal assistance did not compare to what I experienced with Mrs. Hartley. I had the opportunity to appear before a Judge with Mrs. Hartley as my Representative. Mrs. Hartley's Court Room dialog and communication with the Judge was highly professional. She was versed in how the Law should apply and communicated this to the Judge so clearly, it seemed there was no way for him to disagree. Mrs. Hartley also did so many things behind the scene that resolved my claims. She is the most competent Lawyer I have ever met. All Veterans seek this type of representation. All of my claims are closed "PERMANENTLY" and resolved with the Veterans Administration and I'm completely satisfied with my rating. I don't know how I was fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Hartley. I just know she is "THE REAL DEAL", and I will live with a question the rest of my life. "how can I ever repay her"? Also the Werner,Hoffman and Grieg Law firm was very easy to deal with when it came to Attorney Fees. There was no contact after my case was closed saying that I still owe money for this or that. To conclude I would add that this is a condensed description of my experience with Mrs. Hartley and her law firm. I hope this review reach all Veterans who have problems with their claims and if any Veteran ever has an consultation Mrs. Hartley, consider yourself a very fortunate Veteran. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING MRS. HARTLEY! read more

OMG!!!! There is so much good to say about this firm!!!! I've been working on my own to get my disability rating and kept getting denied, even with countless evidence. Some of this was due to it being over a year since I left active duty. I HAD to get a lawyer to help. Originally this firm was merged with another firm and honestly, during that time my case was being neglected. After the de-merger, I decided to migrate with Werner, Hoffman, Greg & Garcia. I was paired with Melissa Medina and Michael Hoffman. They are definitely life changers. Melissa has been very communicative and very encouraging through this whole process. She'd call at the most random times with great news, just when I needed it most. Working with her and Hoffman, we were finally able to get me to 100% P&T!!!! This is one of my biggest wins. I can finally be compensated after years of suffering from injuries and other issues I've endured since joining active duty service. Overall my case has moved fairly quick. First I received 90% out the gate once Melissa began working with me. That decision was in July of 2023. After less than a year of continuing the fight, I was awarded 100% P&T. Thank you Melissa and Michael!! I'd highly recommend you to hire this firm to help with your VA disability claim. I'm confident that they will get the results you deserve after serving your country. They only receive 20% of your back pay so you definitely get your money worth and great value for their services. read more

After my car accident, I was extremely overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect or how to handle everything that came with the situation. Hiring Werner Hoffman Greig & Garcia was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the beginning, their team helped put my mind at ease and made the entire process feel much more manageable. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and were always available whenever I had questions or concerns. I never felt like I was being left in the dark, and having a team that was responsive and willing to guide me through each step made a stressful experience much easier to deal with. I truly appreciate the professionalism, communication, and support I received from the entire team. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my case was being handled by people I could trust and that I didn't have to navigate everything on my own. I highly recommend Werner Hoffman Greig & Garcia to anyone who has been involved in a car accident and needs an attorney. I'm very grateful for their help and for the way they supported me throughout the entire process. read more

I was honorably discharged in 1979 and had been contesting injuries and service connection with the VA up until the time attorney Heather Hartley ( Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia Law Firm) accepted my case. As soon as Ms. Hartley sent a notice of representation, the VA started paying attention to my claims; I was examined, my records were reviewed and documents were discovered which supported my claim (documents which had been previously ignored), and where there was a need for additional documentation, it was provided. Trust me, applying to the VA for injuries sustained in the military is not like it was 40 years ago. You cannot do this on your own. You will need a lawyer. There is no doubt in my mind that Heather Hartley is the best VA attorney there is. She is professional, fast, and is an expert in VA law. Equally important, Ms. Hartley and the entire Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia law firm are honest. I didn't pay one penny more than what I was quoted in the beginning. No surprises here, just honest, expert legal representation which will result in success. read more

I chose this law firm to represent me, and I am happy that I did. I had read a mix of iffy, skeptical, and very positive reviews on every firm I had researched, this firm included. It took about 2 years, but the VA finally accepted my conditions that had been denied due to lack of in service records. Attorney Chris Stratton and Victor Perdomo have taken great care to make sure that I am not fighting this battle alone, and I thank them and everybody else along the way. I'm not being paid to write this and I'm not required to. They asked me to leave a review honestly reflecting the services I received. I am happy I went with this firm. I have already pushed a friend in their direction to have them fight for him as well. Chose a lawyer, you will be happy you did. read more

Incredible Job* It did not even take as long as some other Veteran cases I've known. AAAA plus to them. I Highly recommend and will recommend any Veteran who think they are losing the Battle! Thanks again Melissa Medina and the rest of the Staff at WHG! read more

Just when we thought it was impossible we made it to 100 %. After years of filing our own claims and appeals and constantly getting denied, we just gave up. Then through a neighbor we heard of Werner, Hoffman, Grieg and Garcia and said to ourselves " what do we have to lose"! We decided to try one more time, but this time we let them handle the details. All the credit goes to paralegal Melissa and our attorney Chris who never took no for an answer and fought for my husband's rights. They turned what we thought was impossible to a seamless process and got the job done! If you or your loved one is a veteran in need of help, don't sit around and take no for an answer call them!! read more

From day one, Attorney Adam Werner and his Litigation Paralegal, Ingrid Hierholzer, handled my consumer protection case with urgency, clarity, and real care. They took the time to explain everything in simple terms, set honest expectations, and managed the entire process, filings, negotiations, and more, with skill and confidence. Their strategy and persistence led to a great outcome, but what stood out most was how smooth they made the whole experience. They kept me in the loop, responded quickly, and made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Adam and Ingrid are a fantastic team, professional, compassionate, and truly committed to getting results. read more

I screened five law firms, I chose two of the five to check out the best option and settled on Werner Hoffman Grieg and Garcia. My claims were difficult, some of my records could not be located and there were other things that took an attorney that served to put things in order. Every person I interacted with was kind, patient, honest and reassuring! The communication was beyond reproach, every email or phone message was answered promptly, professionally with all of my cconcers addressed. I certainly made the best choice. I have to add, based on 20% contingency fees. That's as good as it gets for premium legal services! read more

Ms. Heather Hartley has been my VA lawyer and was my husband's VA lawyer before he died suddenly. She has been so professional, thorough, caring and very compassionate and such a blessing to me. Losing my husband was so difficult and she was so wonderful the day I contacted her. She encouraged me and continued to represent me. God bless her! Great law firm. Everyone in the law firm was so helpful to me. When I was overwhelmed with completing paperwork, etc., she was so patient and helpful! If you are searching for a dependable and caring law firm, contact Werner, Hoffman, Grieg & Garcia. Carol Wurzelbacher read more

Initially I had some misunderstandings and miscommunication with this law firm that led to disatisfaction on my part. I was however, given the opportunity to speak with Mr. Werner himself, and he resolved the issue for me to my satisfaction. Although it is still my belief that not every veteran needs to utilize a lawyer for their case, I can honestly say that this lawfirm does care for their veteran clients. If you feel like your case warrants the need for an attorney's office, then definitely try this law firm, they treat veterans how they want to be treated. Fair and just. read more

Adam was absolutely amazing after my auto accident. From the very beginning, he made the entire process feel so much less stressful and was always there to answer my questions and guide me every step of the way. He genuinely cared about me and my case, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly fought for me. I couldn't have asked for a better personal injury lawyer and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an accident. Thank you again, Adam! read more

Blessed is one way to put it, grateful is another, but lucky is truly how I feel. Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia came to the rescue , and brought justice along for the ride.
