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!!

Blessed!

I just wanted to tell my experience with Mr. Erik G. Smith. I happened upon Mr. Smith and the firm he is with online, long after I had lost all hope of ever receiving what I felt I deserved. Before turning my VA disability case over to Mr. Smith, I had fought for almost 30 years for my disability.... I am a Desert Storm Veteran, a Special Operations veteran who served on the staff of the commanding general of US Army Special Operations Command, served in 3d Special Forces Group, and was a proud paratrooper. Between airborne operations and the Gulf War, I suffered a TBI that caused a seizure disorder and numerous other ailments. I had lived my 30 years after my service thinking 20% disability was all I would ever get. Mr. Smith showed me that, with the proper legal representation from a caring advocate, that was not the case. I now have 100% disability and am proud to say it is due to Mr. Smith's diligent work. He kept me in the know on how my case was going and continued to fight for every single thing I deserved. Never have I seen such dedication to a client. My thanks and appreciation to Mr. Smith. I am blessed to have had him in my corner!
