Private Attorneys proudly representing and helping U.S. Military Veterans and Dependents in achieving rightful VA benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit under the Veterans' Judicial Review Act of 1988 and 2006.

Effective June 20, 2007, veterans are allowed to retain an attorney after the first denial by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at the Notice of Disagreement stage.

This public domain and non-profit list of available private attorneys is maintained as a public service in honor of the nation's military veterans who seek representation for VA benefits. All listed attorneys are admitted to practice before the VA, the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC), and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. All are members of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates, Inc. (NOVA). For more information on NOVA, see www.vetadvocates.com . Such veteran's attorneys are difficult to locate since there are only a few hundred in the entire United States.

Veterans and dependents are invited to contact these attorneys about representation, attorney fees, expenses, and the procedural requirements for retaining an attorney. All names are listed with permission.
