akwidow Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for that...I still had my head in a black cloud of grief a few years ago. I at times now wonder how I had the where with all to file in the first place. But then, looking back at my hand written naive papers, no wonder they gave me a denial.

I trusted them to do the right thing and help me~! AKWidow I used a female lawyer from Columbia SC I obtained her named from Larry Scott he had met her at a NOVA conference where he was a speaker, she was an excellent atorney and she took my case pro bono since my denial was before the July 2007 date that allowed veterans to hire lawyers to repesent us after denials at the RO level she did some excellent work for me and without her I doubt if I would have won at BVA, she let me know that if she didn't know something she had no problem getting on the phone and calling people like Bob Walsh or Ken Carpenter and asking them what to do, that is what NOVA is about it's kind of like a Hadit for lawyers that handle VA claims, she was teaching veterans law at USC here in Columbia all she does is veterans claims she even paid for an IMO upfront and let me pay her when I got the back pay because she felt we really needed it, she went the extra mile for me I know Ken Carpenter will go the extra mile for you too 100% SC P&T PTSD 100% CAD 10% Hypertension and A&A = SMC L, SSD a disabled American veteran certified lol "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 28, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 28, 2009 Testvet: Thanks I am pretty much not up on Lawyers. Maybe we should make a thread and just have recommendations from Members. That would also include Lawyers that Veterans are not happy with but should be factual and not just opinions. In other words I used this lawyer, got this result and was happy or unhappy with how claim was handled. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Would echo TestVet--my experience is that pretty much any lawyer who belongs to NOVA (Nat'l Org. of Vet. Advocates) is gonna be good at what they do--its a smallish group and not a lot of lawyers do vet law--if they do, they belong to NOVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted October 28, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 28, 2009 The only problem that I can see about having a "good lawyer - bad lawyer" subject posting on Hadit is this: Some folks are realistic when it comes to expectations. Some ain't. trust me on this................................. ;) "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death.

G-d, but I do miss Alex!
"It is cold and we have no blankets.
The little children are freezing to death.
My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.
I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
