VA DISABILITY RATING INCREASE

Justin took time to listen to my story & review my medical records. I have been trying unsecessfully for years to increase my rating. Justin was able to connect me to a nurse who wrote a nexus letter & a Dr who actually examined me & listen to all my issues. Do to this my VA rating increased from 80%... to 100% in a matter of a few months. This is a life changing difference in my life. Very happy with Justins professionalism & prompt responses to all my questions.

Great lawyer

I hired Justin Smith to help me get 100% on my VA disability which I didn't know how to do. He worked expeditiously and with great knowledge and helped guide me through the process of filing my claim and was successful in helping me obtain my 100% rating. I am so thankful I was guided to him. He is h...onest and caring and I would highly recommend his services to any veteran trying to work with the VA.

VERY THOROUGH

Justin went above and beyond throughout the whole process of my claim. Every step of the way Justin made himself available to assist and answer any questions I had. I am pleased with his professionalism and the results he produced.
