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.

Couldn't have done it without them!

I really appreciate everything Mr. Studdard and his team has done to help me. I'm a disabled vet and had been dealing with the VA on my disability and really needed help. After working with them they were able to get my appeal taken care of and approved within a year. There is no way I could of navig...ated all of the red tape on my own, and I couldn't recommend them enough. If you're a disabled vet like me needing help when dealing with the VA don't hesitate to reach out to them. They'll take care of you and get you the benefits you deserve and are entitled too.

Changed my life, and amazing to work with

Let me cut to the chase, if you're a veteran needing help navigating your appeals, doing it on your own is not a great idea. many of my veteran friends and colleagues have given up on the process because of how confusing and daunting the task is. I was the same way until I contacted Perkins Studdard.... They filed the paperwork and got everything moving; which, on its own, would have taken me months with navigating the panic and complexities of doing it. they helped me understand what my exams would be like which alleviated a lot of the stress that comes with this process. They were also fast to respond either through email or by phone with any questions I had. Even when I had to ask the same things over and over, they were patient with me and made sure I fully understood what I was worrying about. I've heard from other veterans who have used Perkins Studdard, and have heard zero negatives, which is not the case with all appeals lawyers who are just trying to funnel you through as fast and un-thorough as possible. Bottom line, if you want your absolute best chance at filling appeals through the VA, this is where you need to be.
