namvet6567 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Most attys do VA direct to make sure they get paid, probably b/c they can't attach your VA comp, if you don't pay and to avoid a lengthy chase for their money. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Train Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 3 hours ago, namvet6567 said: There's no way you should pay the atty directly!!! VA approved atty's get payment directly thru the VA. An acquaintance won his claim and did it. His atty even dressed up like a painter, to avoid camera ID and went to the bank with him to get the cash. I believe that atty was later disbarred for his practices. I had been using him but fired him when I realized what he was doing. This was back in the '90's. That's for EAJA (or something like that). That needs to go to the CAVC level for the VA to pay the attorney. My claim did not go to the CAVC level. Trust me, I inquired about it. They did not deduct their share from my EED payment. It was CCK law firm (quite reputable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
