James Shipp Trieschmann Jr.

I took on this company as a recommendation from Vet Comp and Pen. I didn’t even talk to anyone from Mr. Trieschmann’s office. Everything was done through email. I also gave them access to my eBenefits account to get the process started. I went the VSO route first and it resulted in a 10% ...rating for PTSD. I didn’t agree with this result and wanted to appeal. Trieschmann’s office didn’t do this, they started a duplicate intent to file instead. So then they had me fill out the claim form and write something basic in there and send it back. I got busy and forgot about the claim when I got a decision letter that my appeal was denied and then I was unservice connected for chronic fatigue syndrome and high blood pressure. I tried to get a hold of Mr Trieschmann but no one would ever answer. It’s like you don’t exist. So I decided to do my claim myself. I chose a higher level reviewer for my PTSD claim and filled out the necessary paperwork. If you go this route, choose to talk to the reviewer. It will definitely help. A few months after speaking to the higher level reviewer, I got a notice in the mail that I was bumped up to 30% for PTSD. Then I started getting letters from Mr. Trieschmann saying congratulations on your increase, you owe us X. I was pretty shocked to say the least since they didn’t do anything. I called and left a voicemail saying that they didn’t help me and they actually hurt me with my claims. Then they started blowing up my phone. It’s funny how they call back when they think you owe them money. Stay away from this fly by night lawyer. You can do your claims by yourself. The most important thing is to build a nexus for your disability. If you don’t have any type of medical nexus, you will be turned down. Best way to do this is through the VA medical facilities. I know people will cringe at the thought but it will be easier for the VA to pull your records. Good luck Patriots!

In fairness they won my case! However, they gave me zero guidance to my cmp exam and they are impossible to reach over the phone! Customer service SUCKS! Don’t bother to leave a voice mail message because they NEVER return your calls. After seeing the forms/form they submitted I could have done i...t myself…. But I didn’t… I hired them because they are associated with a medical group…

I would highly recommend you find another attorney to represent you in your appeal. For MONTHS my claim sat. Not only was the deadline missed entirely but they utilized an extension due to covid after discussing an appeal and then submitted a supplemental claim with zero new evidence at all. Not only... was my claim immediately denied but I struggled for MONTHS to even get in touch with their office regarding my appeal. Not a single person knew what was going on and I found myself having to rexplain my case to every person I spoke with. Not once was I reached out to regarding my claim from their office and instead I made every effort to find out new information. I did all the leg work for their company to obtain my records only to not submit them with his claim. Run as far as you can if you actually want a change in your decision/rating.
