Outstanding Legal Team
Mr. Trieschmann and his staff have provided excellent service helping me with successful VA supplemental claims and appeals. They are very responsive to my questions and helpful in explaining VA responses. I would highly recommend James Trieschmann Jr. and his staff for VA legal support.

From 20% to 90%
This team brought me from 20% to 90% first try. I really was not sure if it was possible or not. They are working on the next round and I really have faith. Appeals take forever but that's the VA's fault. I want to thank all of the team members hard work.
Thank you for trusting our team's ability to navigate this sometimes painful process! It's a pleasure to serve veterans like you.
