Christine Clemens

I'm a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, who now represents a registered nonprofit, that's focused on serving the at-risk veteran population,all of whom suffer from chronic PTSD symptoms. Since returning from war, these vets have been forced to fight for every benefit owed to ...them, by a public that's forgotten the war, and those who fought it. So when I received news that their VA cases were dropped by an attorney who simply stopped returning their calls, I could not risk losing more of my brothers-in-arms to suicide. This is when we met Christine Clemens. Just a voice over the phone, Christine said she understood the severity of this issue, and without hesitation, accepted responsibility for every at-risk veteran case, pro bono. Within days, Christine mobilized a legal-team that relentlessly pursued justice for every one of our veteran cases, including my own. More than the exhilaration of victory, or the relief of closure, the veterans she's assisted are left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. To know that Americans like Christine Clemens exist, is to know an America worth fighting for.

“I served in the Army and saw combat in Vietnam. I developed a service related disability years after my in service toxic exposure to herbicides, including Agent Orange. With my honorable discharge, I applied for Veterans’ Compensation Benefits. The VA denied me service connection for my disability,... so I had to hire a lawyer. I live in Missouri and I called a local lawyer. They told me that Finkelstein & Partners is the best in the USA because they have a dedicated Veterans’ Services Group to help vets get the benefits they deserve. Well, they were right and the best thing I did was to call Finkelstein & Partners. Even though they are in New York, they told me they handle cases Nationwide, so I hired them. It was such a pleasure working with them. They did everything they promised and got me the results I wanted. If you have a service related disability from being in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard – and whether it is for diabetes with neuropathy or PTSD – I highly recommend Finkelstein & Partners to help with your appeal.”
