Joel Ban Is Your Man

Joel is an exceptionally qualified lawyer to serve all your needs. He is very knowledgeable about the VA. and he helped my husband requalify for 100% disability. We found Joel to be extremely kind and he is very good to get right back to answer all your questions. I would highly recommend him if y...ou are seeking an experienced lawyer.

Outstanding VA Disabilities Attorney

I hired Joel to represent me on appeal after being denied a well documented service connected disability claim by the Regional Office. It took some time to gather all that he required to file the appeal, nevertheless, it was time well spent. From there it took several years to get a ruling from the B...ureau of Veterans Appeals, owing to the docket backlog. In the end, my appeal was approved. I have no doubts that without Joel's representation my appeal would have been denied.

Disability claim

I hired Joel Ban after being denied for my documented service connected disabilities. Joel fought tirelessly on my claim and i was awarded a hire rating than i had expected. Joel was always patient with my questions and if there was something he was not sure of, he would immediately find the answer a...nd get back to me. Joel was more like a friend helping me in my case than an attorney. I would reccomend him to anyone seeking help.
