Derek Thomas Smith

During my two years of military duty I experienced injuries. After leaving the service in1968 I filed my first claim for disability compensation and additional claims over the years only to be denied by the Veterans Administration Late 2023 I decided to seek help by contacting several veteran's la...w firms who did not impress me. They mostly conveyed a "pass me on" to the next person system. Online I chanced upon " a veteran representing veterans". His name, Derek Smith, a "one on one" attorney who is very intelligent and retains a broad knowledge of medical conditions. He explained, to me, the procedure to file a disability claim in terms I could easily understand. His method of collecting my medical information was simple and straight forward. When I had any questions His response was immediate Derek filed my claim for disability compensation with the VA in February 2024. Within three months I received a decision rating that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Derek Smith to anyone who is looking for a competent and caring VA claim lawyer. David

Fighting the VA for 7 long years with no help is turmoil I never thought would end. Then along comes this man who took up my husband's fight when nobody else gave us a second look and we had a complete turn around. Within 4 months Derek had taken my husband from 0 % to 100% without a hitch. You absol...utely need to hire this young man. He always has your back and so attentive to your case. I was very amazed at his gentle care of my husband and dynamo to the VA. Thank you so much Derek, you are so appreciated. We never could have done it without you.
