Do not use for VA Benefits

I wish I would have known of this site & had seen the review from someone else May 2021. EXTREMELY disappointed with this lawyer and his lack of assistance as Veterans Benefits Aid Counsel. We received a "positive" opinion, which required payment, May 2022. After the VA Department requested mo...re information in Nov 2022, we were advised by Mr. Fincher's associates, that no additional forms nor more information was required of us. Subsequently, our claim was DENIED by Veterans Affair Department Feb. 2023. Numerous phone calls and emails have not been returned by Mr. Fincher or his associates to find out what additional assistance they would be providing to jump through the VA "hoops" or to appeal. The conclusion we have drawn is he cashed the check and that was it. He and his teams lack of service or response has been extremely unprofessional and I would not recommend him at all.

Best Lawyer in the state

Henry is the best lawyer and help me fight for my family. He helped me through the entire divorce process and educated me on what he thought the best move would be for my case. I would hire him again and not blink an eye. He truly is the best and I would recommend him to any single dad fighting for h...is family.
