My husband Anthony was a medic with the US Navy. He was injured during his service and was medically discharged. For more than ten years my husband had been trying to get the Navy to revise his service connected disability rating with no success. Even after his 8th neck surgery and his employer deeming him unemployable, we were denied any increase of his 60% rating. The VA doctors all agreed his injury was severe, he was even granted Social Security disability benefits but still no rating change. We had years of appeals, always getting the same answers.
Finally in 2012. We made the choice to hire a VA lawyer. We needed someone who knew exactly what needed to be done to get my husband his 100 percent disability rating. We wanted someone who really cared about the veteran and a firm that would treat us like a person and not just a case number. We found that in Adam and Julie. Hiring them was the absolute best thing I could of ever done. Adam and Julie handled our appeal with the greatest care and we finally got exactly what my husband deserved. He finally received his 100 percent disability rating and all of his back pay.
During the appeal, my husband had additional surgeries and procedures. Adam updated our appeal claim each time to keep all our medical files current. Adam always took the time to talk to me, even just listening to me vent when things seem to just stand still. Without Adam and Julie I know we would never have gotten the increased rating.
I highly recommend Adam and Julie if you need assistance with your claim. I will refer every veteran struggling with the rating board to them because I know they really do care about the veterans and their families.
