WE HAVE YOU COVERED

I want The Veteran’s Advocate fighting for my VA disability compensation!

If you are a member of the Reserve Component (RC), you are particularly vulnerable to arbitrary and inconsistent government processes in which you have little recourse or control. The Veteran’s Advocate works every day to address these many concerns on behalf of our clients. Have you experienced one or more of these issues in your case?

The Veteran’s Advocate, over the years, has partnered with numerous Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs). We want to ensure Veterans receive the most effective and cost-efficient services available.

First, the good news. The attorneys at The Veteran’s Advocate have served in multiple roles in the reserve component—in the Title 10 “Reserves,” in the National Guard, and even as a dual-status technician.

The Veteran’s Advocate primarily handles VA disability appeals, as opposed to original VA claims (i.e. newly claimed conditions or claims for increased evaluation of already granted conditions).

Who We Are

At The Veteran’s Advocate, we focus exclusively on helping veterans win their VA disability appeal—whether you’re in Utah or anywhere across the country.

I am a combat veteran with over 20 years of military service, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force. I’ve lived the mission, led teams, and understand the long-term impact of military and combat service.

Today, I serve veterans in a new mission: securing the benefits they earned.

As a VA-accredited attorney, I am authorized by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the VA Office of General Counsel to represent veterans at every stage of the appeals process.

If you’re looking for a trusted VA appeal attorney or a dedicated Utah VA disability appeal attorney, you’re in the right place.
