I’m an accredited VA Claims Agent and I've devoted most of my professional career to helping Veterans with the disability compensation process. I have deep knowledge of all Service departments, with 10+ years of joint service duty. I directed the Coast Guard's Disability Evaluation System and had a direct hand in creating major reforms like the IDES, CRSC and the Physical Disability Board of Review. Now, my service to Veterans continues, claim by claim, as I follow this basic ethic: patience, persistence, and do it right the first time.

I keep my caseload small so every client gets my full attention, and I only take cases where I know I can genuinely help. If I can't help you, I will connect you with someone who can. I take the time to understand your service, your conditions, and your goals, and we work collaboratively — you bring focus and commitment; and I bring deep knowledge of the VA system. Fees are simple and fully regulated: initial claims are always free, and appeals are contingency‑based at 20% of any back‑due benefits awarded, with no fee if the appeal isn’t successful.

This intake form is the start of our journey. Please take the time to answer all the questions as best you can. It should take you no more than five minutes to complete. I will contact you within 3 business days to set up our intake meeting. At this intake meeting, I will share more about how I work, and I will gain a full understanding of your situation and desires. From this, together, we will determine whether or not we're a good fit and we will chart the way ahead together. I look forward to hearing from you!
