Erik was very hands on and always kept me updated. He knows the process and knew how to tackle any obstacles that occurred regarding my case. I'm extremely thankful for his help and would recommend him to anyone needing assistance with thier VA claim. Great Job Erik!

Route to 100%

Got me service connected within 4 months. 80% out of the gate and 100% in just over a year. Came up with the game plan, filed for me and made sure i got all the back pay owed. Highly recommend regardless of your knowledge level.

VA claim 2023

I hired Eric Smith of Rob Levine and assoc. to file a claim I have high anxiety. Eric worked on my claim and within less than 2 weeks I received monthly compensation. Eric is now appealing claims that were turned down last year.

Erik Smith

From the moment Erik began working on my VA case, I had a very good feeling that my case and my appeal would be successful. Erik kept me informed about everything concerning my case. He was able to do in a few months the things I could not get done over the last couple of years. I am sure that there...'s other capable military lawyer that could have handle my case, but I am extremely satisfied with the work that Erik has done and is still doing for my case with the VA. I know I have given him a 5 star rating, but I think he deserve 6 stars. Finally Erik has been the constant professional that I would recommend to any veteran that seems to be at an impasse with the VA. Erik, thank you for all of the hard work that you have done on my behalf.
