Need A Us Court Attorney

[dav_marine72]

Anyone know of a good attorney at the court that takes their cut from the government reimbursement? My first lawyer was working under that premise. Someone had posted attorney Robert Chisholm as a good lawyer but he wants a $1500 fee and 25% of my back pay. This is such BS. The VA screws up and I have to pay for it? Please let me know if anyone used a decent lawyer that did not charge. Thanks.

Thanks for understanding Phillip. I guess that's what I love about this site. Were all in the same boat here.

Ask your lawyer if you can apply, after your win, to the Government for your lawyers charges to be reimbursed through the Equal Access to Justice act.

I know of a few vets that have done this and were reimbursed. There is a time limit, on application, after the award.

I was ready to do this EAJA application, but I won on my own with the help of Hadit.

I can't think of anything more demoralizing than for the VA, to pay for their own loss and then also pay for your attorney to beat them in court.
