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!

I am so grateful to have this team working on my VA disability claim. I was initially only awarded the K award for loss of organs ($100/month) and filed with this firm because I knew that award was wrong and I was getting appeals denied. I went from that award to a final 70% disability rating thanks ...to the hard work by this firm. Their fee is a set rate percentage of any back pay you are awarded, which was super fair. No upfront or hidden fees otherwise. Best decision I ever made. Thank you!
