Highly Recommend

I retained Kelsey after being denied by the VA for TDIU. She was very dedicated and engaged, and cared about my case. She always communicated with me and I always knew what was going on in my case. She is super competent and is an expert in this area of the law. I am so greatful that I found her ...because she didn't give up on me.

Veterans Compensation/ Disability Benefits

Kelsey Craveiro is a true champion for veterans seeking someone who is honest, compassionate, and upfront with her clients . From the moment that I walked in for a consultation, Kelsey was able to explain to me the inner workings involved in VA compensation in its simplest terms. She was very contrit...e and to the point. Her compassion made me feel at ease, and knowing that as a veteran, she would do her best, and to work in only my best interest . Her vast knowledge in the guidance of her client(s) from the inception of a claim, to the completion of a claim, is second to none. Her laser focus is such an asset to her work, and ability to keep things simple are qualities that are head and shoulders above the rest. Kelsey went above and beyond, and made sure that as a veteran; I received every benefit that I was entitled to. Thank-you so much Kelsey Craveiro for being the veterans advocate that you are; I can only hope that the many other veterans who continue to suffer in silence may see the beacon of light.

Excellent veteran's attorney!

Kelsey took on my difficult PTSD case when other lawyers would not even consider it. She was patient, courteous, efficient and highly professional throughout the process. Most importantly, Kelsey Craveiro WON my case! If you are filing a claim, or are considering filing a claim with the VA, call Ke...lsey first. She will save you endless headaches and paperwork. Kelsey works as fast as is legally possible given the backlogs and limitations of the VA. She will let you know if she believes she can win your case. Without professional work and guidance like Kelsey Craveiro's, you are on your own against the bureacratic monster known as the VA. It is almost a sure bet that you will be denied when you file alone and you could be entangled in this mess for years. Call Kelsey Craveiro and save yourself heartache and frustration.

VA Disability Rating Decision

I am highly recommending Kelsey to anyone needing assistance in pursuing a VA disability claim. After years of acting on my own behalf and using service officers, I was still being denied full compensation for my Agent Orange related illnesses. I went to Rob Levine Associates, where I met with her. S...he went right to work for me after reviewing my case and recognizing that I had a valid claim in her opinion. We were constantly in touch, either in person or over the phone, as she guided me through the difficult VA process. I was very impressed by her knowledge and understanding of what was needed to be successful in my appeal. Even as the VA introduced a new version of the appeals system she was able to quickly grasp the significance that option had in my situation. She fully explained how we should proceed and went about implementing our approach going forward. As expected, the VA tried to delay and deny my claim, but Kelsey persevered and got me the rating I deserved. She successfully achieved the goal I started 4 years earlier in a matter of months. I wish I had gone to her at the beginning of my quest because she would have prevented the years of stress, disappointment and despair I suffered through trying to do it on my own. I will be forever grateful to Kelsey for her work on my behalf. She is the epitome of all that a lawyer can and should do for a client!
