Katrina Johanna Eagle

As a Vietnam Veteran I highly recommend Katrina Eagle to any veteran who needs an experienced attorney with their disability appeal. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease due to repeated exposure to toxins while serving in the US Navy. When my initial claim was disproved, I found Katrina.... I cannot say enough good things about Katrina, unlike most law firms she truly cares about her clients and works tirelessly for them. She is very professional, punctual, straight to the point. Whenever I had a question, she was very prompt on getting back to me. She guided me through the process and explained in detail what steps she intended to take. In addition, her empathy and compassion to the veterans and their families is unparalleled. She is a true veteran advocate and will fight for what is right for the benefits that are deserved. I know that I would not want anyone other than Katrina to represent me, she was successful in getting my appeal granted. She is a true godsend for veterans. Both my wife and I will be forever grateful to her.

We had been denied by the VA many times for my father's claim. We were on the verge of giving up. When we contacted Katrina she got back to us immediately, was honest and told us things we could do on our own to try to get the claim approved before officially hiring her. When we were still denied,... we hired Katrina. She was in constant contact with us, kept us informed every step of the way. When we had questions she got back to us in a matter of hours. In the end she was successful in getting our claim approved and we could not be more grateful. She is a tireless advocate for veterans and we are so grateful for her!!!

On August 10, 2015 my husband David W Baierl had surgery to remove a tumor on the left side of his brain. After having difficulty with his speech, a trip to emergency and several test (Cat Scan and MRI, the doctors found a mass which was later known to be Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4. It’s a fas...t growing and very aggressive type of cancer. A few weeks his after surgery Dave started radiation and chemotherapy. He was very brave as he went through several months of treatments and followed by more MRI’s. For a short time, the tumor (most was removed during the surgery) had shrunk considerably. That didn’t last long. The MRI showed it was growing and broke through the scar tissue from the surgery and began to spread. We decided to try electric field therapy. Patches were applied to Dave’s head and I had to change them every other day. Dave developed a terrible infection and had to discontinue the therapy. In May 2016, we contacted the VA in our county to ask if Dave’s cancer could be connected to Agent Orange. His type of cancer was not on the list of cancers caused by the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam. We contacted Katrina Eagle (Veteran Attorney) and she agreed to take our case and help my husband. She kept in touch and walked me through forms that needed to be filled out. She called several times to let us know how things were moving along. In December 2016, Dave was granted full disability and received a check which included back pay from the day he was diagnosed. Katrina Eagle is the most caring person and is dedicated to working for our veterans. Dave was able to see the results. He passed away April 18, 2017. He was a loving husband, fantastic father and grandfather and was always proud to be a Vietnam veteran. He loved his country. Thank you Katrina for all your hard work and moving the process along so quickly. God Bless! Carol Baierl

I am awaiting a NOD hearing and wanted expert advice on representation and how to present my case. I must have contacted a dozen legal firms that touted VA disability experience but in fact had little or none. Fortunately, one such firm provided Katrina's phone number. She called back within hours... and spent the better part of an hour on the phone with me and coached me on every aspect of NOD hearings as well as other claim facts. She really peels the skin back on the VA onion and tells you how things work. By far she is the most knowledgeable person I have ever talked to about the VA claim process. If I need to advance my appeal beyond the hearing officer stage, I definitely will use Katrina to represent me.

I hired Katrina Eagle to assist me in obtaining an earlier effective date for my 100% disability rating. My case was at the BVA when i hired her. I had been fighting with the VA for thirteen years for them to do the right thing. Katrina Eagle was successful in obtaining an earlier effective date f...or me. I cannot praise Katrina Eagle highly enough. She is extremely helpful, she kept me informed the whole time, she explained everything to me and she was successful. My wife worked in law firms for over 20 years and says that Katrina Eagle is one of the most honest, ethical, trustworthy and dedicated lawyers she has ever had dealings with. I have worked with lawyers in the past for other matters and none of them gave me the confidence or the time that Katrina Eagle gave me. I have recommended Katrina Eagle to everyone in my area that I know is having trouble with their claims at the VA and I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who needs legal assistance with their VA cases. If your case is winnable she will fight for you until she wins it. If your case is not winnable, she will tell you so and tell you why. I highly recommend Katrina Eagle.
