Professionalism and Clarity

I called Travis’s Law office, after getting as far as I could with the VA. I sent his team all the information I had and they went to work on my case. Travis called me with a plan of action, then quickly implemented it. He and his team made the claims process easier than I thought it could be. At ea...ch stage of my claim I was contacted and informed in detail what was going on. When the VA sent their decision, Travis’s team found that the VA had made a mistake and quickly filed for them to fix it. Jessica was always willing to answer any of my million questions throughout this process. I know I probably drove her nuts but she handled it with grace and dignity. Travis and his team are highly recommended.

Works deligently

I would like to thank the law firm of Perkins-Studdard (Travis) and his team, for performing such an outstanding job, at every possible level, during my recent situation with the VA Disability Claims . From the first time I called and spoke with Mr Studdard with an overview of my situation, until the... final settlement was executed (successfully I may add), I always felt that I was in good hands with this firm. Everyone in the office, Jessica, and April were responsive, approachable, knowledgeable, good listeners, and extremely professional. Mr. Studdard was realistic of the circumstances and of the potential difficult process that would lay ahead, should I proceed. I can’t say enough about Travis, and I will always be thankful to him. Travis was committed, and he instilled a real sense of confidence during both the highs and the lows. He ultimately prevailed and the outcome was very much in my favor. Of course, each case is different on its own merits and one can never predict how things ultimately will turn out. All I know is that the settlement far exceeded my expectation. Mr. Studdard has been a blessing to me. I strongly recommend that anyone who would find themselves in a similar legal situation with the VA to contact Law Offices of Perkins Studdard for a consultation. It was a very positive experience given the circumstances. Thank you again, I shall forever be in your debt.

The lone corpsman

I have had issues with my mental health from the time the Navy discharged me. These issues arose while serving as an Independant Duty Corpsman on the nuclear submarine John Adams, SSBN 620. After a critical medical evacuation of a shipmate, that I had diagnosed with an appendicitis, was killed durin...g the transfer from our submarine to a helicopter, I felt as if I had sent my patient to his death. For many years I suffered from the memories of that day in December. I did not know that I was suffering from the effects of PTSD. Many health care providers in the private sector, who I sought out for help, either told me that my issues would fade with time or prescribed medication(s) that dulled my senses. I felt betrayed without an advocate to help me, until I called Perkins Studdard. A very kind and compassionate first contact listened to my concerns when I called. Mellissa treated me as if I was her top priority. She encouraged me to submit any documents I had to her and an appointment with Mr. Studdard would be set up. During my phone interview, Mr. Studdard told me my situation had merit and that he would like to represent me. A case manager, Jessica, was assigned to me and the process to obtain relief began. I have never met such empathetic people who all seem to have a one goal, to serve the needs of Veterans. If you need someone to fight a good fight for benefits you as a veteran deserve, these are the folks to reach out to.
