Erik G. Smith

I was very skeptical about hiring a lawyer for my VA appeal, but I knew I was in over my head. I have been dealing with the VA for the better part of a decade, and if you are reading this, you know what a horrible experience that can be. I am happy to say Erik was nothing short of remarkable. From da...y one I felt like I was in good hands. The level of personal attention was more than I ever could’ve hoped for. He made every step of the process easy and I never felt alone. Any time I had a question, he responded almost immediately, and I was updated on my case regularly. I simply can’t say enough good things about Erik and his team. I will forever be grateful.

September 30, 2023 Rob Levine and Associates 544 Douglas Ave. Providence RI. 02908 To whom it may concern My name is David Keretz. I’m a marine veteran from the Vietnam war. Recently I was having ...a problem with a disability claim that was denied by the veteran’s administration. After seeing an advertisement on the internet, about attorneys that can help veterans with V.A. claims, I decided to call Rob Levine and Associates. I was referred to an attorney Eric Smith. Mr. Smith was very nice and listened to my story. Without hesitation after gathering all the information he jumped into action with an appeal letter. Within a week, I was receiving calls and letters from the Veterans Administration scheduling me an appointment with a doctor outside the VA group to evaluate me on my condition. Eric’s experience with these V.As. steps, immediately scheduled a phone meeting with me, preparing me as to the procedure with this evaluation. After completion of that evaluation with the doctor my denial by the VA was reversed to a justified approval. I have had dealings with many attorneys over my lifetime and I must say I have never had an attorney treat me as friendly as Eric Smith. He was very informative, passionate, and professional in all my conversations with him. He even called me many evenings from his home after his working hours to advise and coach me. We live in a world that is changing so fast and with everyone having so many personal problems at home with spouses, children, and monetary problems, it’s difficult for many employees to leave their personal problems at home. Eric was one person that could do this. He was always focused on my problems and my concerns, and for that I will always be a raving fan for Rob Levine and Associates remembering Eric Smith as top notch professional in this field. Please don’t let his efforts go unnoticed. In closing I must say thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to read my letter. Sincerely, David C, Keretz

Erik responded to every inquiry from me the very same day! He persevered against several disappointing VA rulings and finally got me one that resolved my case in a highly satisfactory manner. He's assisted by a couple of dogged assistants who helped him in overcoming VA inertia. Erik is quite simp...ly the best at what he does/
