Excellent, persistent veterans attorney!
I went to Mr. Trieschmann after my sleep apnea claim was denied. It took over 4 yrs, but he fought for me and won. The whole time his office kept in contact with me. Prompt responses to my questions. I would highly recommend him to other veterans.
It's always painful when the VA takes so long to finally admit their mistake, but that's why we're here! Thank you for trusting us to fight for you.
