carlie Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Keep in mind that even lawyers (legal representatives) have specific regulation and laws they must adhere to. Your claim can't be certified to BVA and your representative just simply DROP you. http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=691630ae72a53b6fd2fe41a4cea69c5f&rgn=div8&view=text&node=38:2.0.1.1.5.7.35.3&idno=38 Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

deanbrt Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you get to CAVC, which I did, the attorney gets paid by the court if there is an award, more likely a remand. Lawyers come out of the woodwork when they see your CAVC docket number. I know now that they have to find any technicality to get it remanded and make the money. I bet I had 30 letters from different law firms when my docket number showed up. But the minute they win (at CAVC), you are on your own again.

grent Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 just have a question what do i do if i get dropped by lawyer ?? do i have to pay a bill do i get my records back?? also i see on other web sites vets getting dropped by their lawyers i guess the lawyer gets paid out of some federal fund it appears to me the lawyers are opting out and filing to get the fee out of this vja fund rather than waiting 6 - 7 years to see if the vet wins any advixe on who to get for a lawyer in case i get dropped?? lot of lawyers aer opting out to get the cash rather than waiting for a case Bargmann anfd moore seem to mentioned a lot?? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I'll stay. I still feel it's the best place in the world to live! I'm curious why you asked the question about your lawyer dropping you? Has he indicated that he plans to or are you just worrying, for something to do? I agree the VA process is BS. My claim took 10yrs but I won retro the whole 10yrs. I still have an appeal pending that's been 20yrs but I plan to out live the VA!! Stay well!! pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise it's high and dry - no problems : - ) Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
