Others failed

I had many cases pending and they had failed time after time. A friend of mine told me about James Trieschmann and how he had asked him to represent him in his issues with being stuck at 80%. I decided to see what he could do for me. Withing a month or so Mr. Trieschman and his team found numerous ...mistakes that the VA had made with them ending up simply not considering the evidence correctly. It felt like I would never reach the 100% but FINALLY I was moved to 100% permanent disability. The battle is over, and I don't know if I would have made it without the expertise of James Trieschmann.

Helping correct the mistakes of the VA is unfortunately a common part of our role. We will always fight for you. Thank you for trusting me and my team at Veteran Legal!

VA Compensation and Benefits

I am really impressed with the service that I received from Mr. Trieschmann and his law firm. I read a couple of the research documents that they generated in support of my claim to the VA. I was truly amazed with the research that was attached as supporting documents. Thanks for the your assistance....

Won my case

The brief they prepared for my higher level review was complete and well done. They need to work on communication. Not once did they reach out to me, in a year, with updates and purposely waited to the last moment to file my appeal in order to increase amount they would receive. I had to notify th...em that the case was settled and have called three times to try to pay them. Customer Service needs work, but they know what they are doing.

The most arrogant lawyer that I have ever spoken to.

I sent an email to Mr. Trieschmann regarding a MEB appeal. He told me that he could assist me and to call him to discuss. I called him and explained the MEB issue that I was having. He started to talk about a VA claim and that he would send me to some Doctors, etc. He mentioned that he could charge a... few thousand dollars to handle a VA claim. I found that to be unethical because most VA attorneys charge a small fee ONLY if the veteran wins the an appeal. I haven't heard of an attorney that charges a few thousand dollars, especially for an initial VA claim that most soldiers file on base for free. An attorney is not supposed to charge a veteran for the initial VA claim. I explained that my case was for a MEB appeal and that I was going to work my VA claim with the VA rep on base (like most soldiers do). He immediately became very rude and defensive saying that I did not know sh** about what I was talking about. I was surprised by his reaction and I explained to him that I only needed assistance with a MEB appeal, not any VA disability claims. He stated that if I already had my VA claim ready, than why was I calling him now. That does not even make any sense. He was confusing a VA claim with a MEB appeal. This attorney is very rude and gets defensive when a potential client keeps trying to explain their issue because he seems to not understand/know what the issue is. Avoid this lawyer!

This guy has never been a client. I have never charged a client to do an initial VA claim.
