Hiring a law firm

It is often asked "when" or "if" you should hire a lawyer.  

If your claim is at the RO:

   You dont need a lawyer at the RO, because the RO employees would not even notice that you had a winning claim and deny it anyway, 85% of the time.

If your claim is at the BVA: 

    If this is your FIRST Trip to the BVA, probably not.  You can appeal to the BOARD, just make sure you promptly file the NOD, and file the I9, the two steps which are required.    If you have been to the Board more than once, such as if you get multiple remands, then you need a lawyer.  

If your claim is at the CAVC: 

Dont even think of going to the CAVC without a lawyer.  

 

     I recently hired Gloverluck, a law firm out of Dallas Texas who represents Veterans.   Here are their client reviews:

    Website.

    I was suprised when I called I actually got to talk to an attorney, and not a "menu options" computer, or legal aid.  

There are many good law firms out there, I also considered CCK, B and M, Chris Attig.

    If you have dealt with a law firm with a good result, then add their name to this list.

DAV is my VSO, have lifetime membership, and have just filed for an appeal.  I have decided to have GloverLuck as my lawfirm later on knowing that my case can likely end up in CAVC. How do I proceed?

Good.  At the CAVC, there are many legal precedents that must be presented, and the level of professionalism will, in most cases, hinder a typical VSO.  Besides, unless the VSO is also a lawyer, they can not file for the EAJA fees.  Wait until the BVA denies you then immediately shop for a lawyer.  A lawyer will / can do great things at the CAVC.

Ocean, what Appeal path, BVA or DRO, did you choose?

Quite often, the Strength of your case and to a great degree, the amount of Retro involved, will determine if the Law Firm of 1st choice, will choose you back.
