HOME COOKING ! NOT FAST FOOD OR A CHAIN!

Erik Smith is incredible! A kind trusting voice; patient , understanding,&knowledgeable in veterans law.Living a thousand miles or more from Denver I still had almost INSTANT contact whenever needed with Erik,and I found it CONSIDERABLY easier than other service agents who knew much less and took ...much longer to reply to my queries.I have gone forward after winning my VA disability claim. Thanks ERIK G.SMITH!!

Expert Assistance with VA Disability Claims

Erik was part of a team of two lawyers that assisted with my VA Disability claim. Erik was always prompt in his responses to my questions and helped me win TDUI claim with the VA. He is thoughtful, experienced and listens to the needs of the veteran. Thank you Erik!

Erik Smith, Has been my attorney for several years. Any time I have a responds back in a timely Manner and when I say that I mean not the next day usually within a couple hours sometivery fast. I even left email during the weekend. Because I had to address something. Because I got correspondents o...n a Saturday and left him a message thinking that he would not respond until Monday next thing. I know I got a telephone call coming in. On Saturday. He provides excellent service and sound legal advice.And if he does not have the answer you will get it for you. Excellent attorney to have.

VA benefits

At 62 years old, I never thought I would need a lawyer, but I found myself hiring a lawyer to collect my benefits from the military, which should have been automatically given to me. I waited 17 years and got no where. One Sunday morning I found an advertisement for Rob Levine, in which I called hi...m and employed him to get my benefits. He assigned Eric Smith the case and without a doubt, he was one of the most professional person I met. Within 24 hours I had the government contacting me to schedule various appointments. It took a year of testing to get everything done. Eric Smith got all his i’s dotted and crossed all his t’s to get this done. In a years time with my lawyer I was never in the dark with what was going on. It’s sad to say that you have to get a lawyer involved to get what is owed to you. Thank you Eric and the law firm of Rob Levine.
