Poor communication then dropped without any explanation or warning

I contacted Mr. Trieschmann's office at the recommendation of another attorney. The office member who talked to me was barely understandable over all of the background noise at her end, but I signed the required paperwork. Weeks later I got a short letter saying they were no longer representing me ...with no explanation as to why they can't help me or recommendations on how I can move forward, or with who. Very frustrating.

Service I’ve Received

Not sure was done for my case as I don’t remove having any contact during the process. What I am sure of is when I was approved for service-connection by the VA, I was contacted for payment. I overpaid this firm and notified them of the overpayment. I have notified them of this overpayment several... times and almost 5 months later I’m still waiting for them to send me the money back.

We were able to obtain a HUGE win for you. Like all VA law firms, our fees are solely based on the amount that we can help you recover in backpay from the VA. When the VA makes a mistake in calculations, it affects your compensation and our fees. We were disappointed in the delay as well, but we made sure to refund any overpayment to you. It's unfortunate that you would leave such a poor review considering how much money we recovered for you.

Communication lol

I always had to reach out and never got a straight answer. Apparently after over 48 months someone notice I had no claim like I had been asking about for 48 months. Always was the VA problem in being slow or system not updated or I can see what the practice can see. Anyways, from what I can tell a V...A Claim was setup September 2022 and approved in October 2022. Grateful for that much, but passed about 48 months loss for back pay. So, veterans beware in my book. Ken Mabry

Mr. Mabry, Thank you for using your name to allow us to follow up with you. As we've now discussed, the issues with the VA recognizing our power of attorney on your case caused very unfortunate implications. We are already underway with another appeal to try to recover the lost backpay. We hope they give us the opportunity to rectify this for you.

Left in the dark

I have tried getting James to contact me for my appeals. as of 02/14/2023. I Have four issues that I will lose on 04/01/2023 if it is not appealed. This is a lot of money that my family can not afford. I was told today that he is very busy!!!!. Very unhappy customer.

Stay far away!

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!

Thank you for reaching out. I apologize for the miscommunication but I think you have me confused with someone else. Since I don't have your full name I can't look into your case but you stated a few things that make me believe you have me confused with another company. 1. I have never accessed or requested access to my clients' ebenefits file. I am a VA-accredited attorney and I have access to my client's file in the VA system. I have never asked my clients for the Ebenefits access. I think you were communicating with someone else 2. I have never asked my client to fill out a new claim form instead of submitting an appeal. In fact, I don't even get involved with filing new claims so I would never ask a client to submit a new claim instead of appealing a claim. Again, I believe you have me confused with someone else. 3. If you did a high-level review hearing the VA will almost always notify me not. I did not receive notice anytime recently for a high-level review hearing for an increase for PTSD. Again, all these facts make me believe you have me confused. Please message me directly on this website and I will look into your case directly. Of course, I will waive any fees for work I did not complete. I served 16 years in the army, I personally speak with my clients when requested, and the comments from this review lead me to believe you have me confused with someone else. I am happy to help and look into it. V/R James Trieschmann
