Super Lawyer for dealing with the VA

Katrina helped me get the VA rating that I had earned while on 12 years of active duty. Her communication is excellent. She is patient and kind. She is also incredibly diligent with her follow through and ability to fight for her clients. If I ever need help again, she will be the first pe...rson I call.

Great People to work with....& they back up what they say!

I would like to sincerely thank Katrina Eagle and her team for their dedication and persistence in helping me obtain the VA benefits I rightfully deserved. I am a Vietnam-era Navy veteran who served three tours of duty in Thailand during the Vietnam War. I began pursuing these benefits back in 199...1 with Mr. Don Buss, a Senior VSO in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Despite attending a hearing and making five separate attempts, my claims were repeatedly denied. I was told that Agent Orange had not been used in Thailand and that no tactical herbicides were present on Royal Thai Air Force bases. This was difficult to accept, especially since I had photographs and 11 pages of official orders clearly documenting my three tours with VP-9 in Thailand. After years of frustration, I stepped away from the process. Fortunately, through another Vietnam veteran, I was introduced to Katrina Eagle, Attorney at Law, who advocates for veterans whose claims have been mishandled or denied. From our first interaction, I knew I had finally found someone who would fight for me. The journey was long, with many ups and downs, and at times it tested my patience. However, in 2025, I was finally recognized for my service and granted full disability benefits based on my medical conditions. I will always be deeply grateful to Katrina and Jim for their unwavering commitment and for standing by me throughout this process. I am truly indebted to them for everything they have done on my behalf. Sincerely, Greg Thompson Rochester, Minnesota

Outstanding Disabled Veteran Lawyer

If you want an exemplary attorney for all VA matters regarding disability claims, hire Ms. Eagle. She is not only results driven, she is a caring and fierce advocate for disabled Veterans. For my husband, his military buddy, and a host of other Veterans, she delivered. God Bless her, her team, and ...their honorable work!

If you want true professionalism and favorable results , contact Katrina Eagle

My husband Ricardo was an "old school" military warrior. He was in both the Navy and Army. We had tried unsuccessfully to get his benefits starting in 2008. Each attempt was denied. After his death in 2010, I gave up. Too many denials and no one really wanted to help. In 2023, I miraculously came a...cross the name of Katrina Eagle, an angel sent from heaven. I contacted her, gave her some background, sent her my information. After receiving the first denial, I said," oh well Im not surprised", its over".Her exact words to ,me were, " Its over when I say its over". I cried because I knew then I had met someone who cared. After thirteen years of complete abandonment from the Veteran Affairs, there was this "angel of hope". Mrs. Eagle worked with me diligently making sure I gave her every bit of information I had on and for Ricardo. She kept me informed as to what was going on and what to expect. I have never felt so confident to someone was in my corner and didn't even know me personally. I was partially impressed with how she did not try to play around with you. She was all bujsiness. She gave you the facts and explained every detail as what to expect. Her no nonsense style was truly appreciated. I truly love and respect this lady. With her help I can now live an easier life. I only wish Ricardo were here to enjoy what he has made possible. He worked so hard before his death but expert help was not available and I did know Mrs. Eagle. Thank you Mrs. Eagle!!!! Thank you!!! Like I told you during our many conversations, you were "heaven sent". The way I came across our name was uncanny. Out of all the lawyers on this page, my eyes picked your name ad my gut said, "call her".

She’s good at what she does

Katrina Eagle is good at what she does. I was at 70% when I put in a claim by myself VA attempted to take 20% away from me. That’s when I hired Katrina. She took the case and I got my 20% back plus another 20% and she told me not to worry about it. She’s gonna take care of the rest and don’t you know... I got my hundred percent she’s good at what she does thank you very much Katrina.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Attorney Eagle is nationally recognized for her work for disabled Veterans. I attended the legal education class she provided to our Massachusetts chapter of elder law attorneys, and she explained how Veterans benefits can be obtained and coordinated for elderly veterans and their spouses. If you are a veteran who needs to resolve a VA claim, you would be fortunate to retain Attorney Eagle."
