VA Benefits

From the initial phone call I could tell Derek was eager and willing to help with my case. Derek’s quick responses to my questions put me at ease, knowing he was working hard for me. I achieved great results working with Derek and would highly recommend!

Won my case

Derek was very professional and knowledgeable about the VA benefits process. He was able to help me find a better route to a favorable outcome on my case and much more quickly than I expected. I am so glad I hired him to help or I would probably still be fighting with the VA for my benefits. I would ...recommend him to all my family and friends needing help with VA benefits.

When I first contacted Derek Dee to represent my husband's disability case he was very forthcoming with information about the process and what to expect. He always kept me informed and answered my questions honestly. He was very responsive to my phone calls and texts and I came to trust him totally.... He was empathic and a cheerleader in a grueling and demeaning process. I was very glad I had turned my situation over to him and recommend others to do the same.

The Best VA claims attorney

Derek represented me and was absolutely amazing. He was timely and attentive and could not have been better. If you need a professional attorney for your VA claims, look no further. He's the best. Period.
