Andrew Ralph Rutz

I was referred to Andrew in 2012 after two failed attempts with the VA regarding my husband's death, age 56, in 1998. He was a USAF retiree Vietnam, physically and psychologically ill. So many years had passed. Andrew's knowledge of military law, his fortitude and the compassion he showed to me and... our case kept me going. He is a fighter and persevered. His appeals were outstanding and October 2017 the VA sent a favorable decision of 100% service related disability at time of death. I was also to receive DIC and SBP proportionately. I then needed Andrew's intervention between the VA and DFAS as both said the other was to pay retroactive benefits and DFAS said no to SBP. Thanks to Drew, the VA provides 100% DIC monthly benefits and paid the retroactive benefits. Due to Andrew's professional skills, knowledge, experience and a fine innate quality one doesn't always find in lawyers today, the favorable decision wouldn't have been achieved. I highly recommend Drew to veterans and their survivors.

I HIRED MR. ANDREW R. RUTZ AFTER DEALING WITH V.A. FOR 6 YEARS.I'VE MET WITH MR. RUTZ AND I THINK I CAN CALL HIM ANDREW. ANDREW TOOK MY CASE IN 2015 AND MY CASE WAS SETTLED IN FEB. 2018. I WAS RECEIVING 10% DISABILITY AND ANDREW WAS ABLE TO GET ME 100% TOTAL AND PERMENANT DISABILITY. I DEALT WITH THE... SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO GET HELP BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CASE SETTLED.

ANDREW IS A HUMBLE MAN THAT IS A TRUE ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS. ANDREW I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS. I'M GETTING OLDER AND IT WAS A TRUE BLESSING. I LOVE YOU BROTHER. TOMMY

If I were you don't go with these people they will drag your claim out for years just so they will be able to take a large sum of ur back pay. They take 30% plus additional fees. My case should of been done and settled in a year and it took over 3 yrs to get it no thanks to these people I ended up co...ntacting my senator and va rep to fight for me. At the end I still owned them 30% because of the contract.
