HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted October 28, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 28, 2008 30% is too much for a VA lawyer to charge. I believe they have to stick with 20% of your retro. Lawyers representing vets have certain guidelines they have to follow regarding fees. I would question charging 30% of retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the services of Mr. Gregory Keenum in Boonesville, MS. Good guy. If it wasn't for him handling the case, I would have already taken a ball bat to the VARO in Jackson...... Last night I hand delivered a letter personally to Roger Wicker at the Desoto County rally. I am literally begging and pleading now after seventy-eight months to bring closure to a case the BVA has ruled on in my favor. Just finish it so I can put this behind me. I swear to God we should just all be out in the damned streets protesting the VA. Make it public, make it loud. Find me 100 volunteers! I swear to God we should march, hobble, crawl, or roll our way into a VARO facility and start raising hell! Anybody in Mississippi interested in meeting in Jackson, MS? We need to organize, we need to lead. All of us older vets need to put pressure in the system so the younger vets won't have to put up with this. 700 billion for Wall Street, not shit for the vets. We fight, the civilians enjoy the good life. Is there no help for the widow's son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp747 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 yep they got it setup so you will die before you can get anything 8 years to get thirty per cent and if i fight 8 more years i might not be alive. 62 now + 8= 72 and still might not be through with the process.
