Great firm & people

Thanks to Abe’s Baumann I was able to receive my military benefits. Special thanks to Susan Paczak for taking my claim & Jim Burn for completing my claim. Mr. Burn has been there to answer any questions that I might have had, in my opinion he has went above and beyond. He notified me each step of the... way and is insuring that I am receiving my full award amount! Thanks again Jim & Susan -John Woods

Susan Paczak VA Lawyer

Hello, I am a VA service connected Disabled Marine Corps Veteran and have always been told by other so called 'expert' VA lawyers, including the Admin VA as well as a law professor that thought he was also a VA expert lawyer that my VA cases were unwinnable against the VA. In October 2017 Susan ...Paczak a VA Lawyer with years of experience fighting the VA's lawyers all the way to the Federal Courts thought differently and told me that my VA cases were winnable and that if I hired her she would win my VA cases. Susan Paczak definitely helped me to get a 100% Permanent Total VA rating, something that the so called VA expert lawyers, Veteran Service Officers and Admin VA said could not be achieved! Susan Paczak isnt done yet with my VA cases and continues to pursue winning them and keeps in contact with me and always confers with me on VA case matters. Another Susan Paczak WIN! Susan won a VA retro case after pursuing the VA relentlessly and cornering them and leaving them no where to go, but requiring the VA to meet its obligations and approve my VA claims..... Thank you Susan..... Disabled Veteran US Marine Corps MEF. Semper Fi October 2017

My VA Attorney

Susan Paczak went above and beyond is dealing with the VA on my behalf. Her efforts resulted in my being recognized as having been exposed to Agent Orange though I was not "in country" by the VA where I on my own continued running into a brick wall. I can't thank her enough and most importantly she... kept me informed throughout the process and responded to my inquiries timely.

Susan took over my disability case and resolved all issues and now that it is resolved if I have a question or new issue she gives me her advice how I can handle it. Some lawyers won't help you after they settle a claim. I appreciate that she cares for me as a human being not just a client. I recomme...nd her to all veterans.

51 years of government service - retired

Words can't describe my joy over Susan's handling of my case with the Veteran's Administration. Susan went above and beyond my expectations. She kept me involved and current during the whole process. She kept my spirits up when I was down. Fighting the government alone is a daunting task. Hirin...g Susan was like hiring a pack of wolves to help me through a tough situation. I can't thank her enough. They say "word of mouth" is the best form of advertisement. Well, Susan and the law firm of Abes Baumann will be highly reommended by me. Again, thank you Susan and Abes Baumann.
