Our Practice Areas
VA Benefit Appeals
If your claim for VA disability benefits has been denied, your next step should be to hire one of our veterans attorneys. Unlike other law firms, we specialize in VA disability law to help veterans and their families.
Independent Medical Exams
Were you recently denied VA disability benefits due to an unfavorable medical exam? If so, our VA disability lawyers may recommend you get an independent medical exam (IME).
Surviving Spouses & Dependents
If you’re the surviving spouse or dependent of a deceased veteran, you may be eligible for certain VA benefits. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, which is why we do everything we can to help you better understand your next steps.
Medical Opinions
Was your claim for VA disability benefits recently denied? If so, your first call should be to our lawyers for veterans benefits to learn if another medical opinion could help.
Other Claim Development
Was your claim for VA disability benefits wrongly denied? If so, we recommend filing an appeal with the help of one of our veteran disability lawyers. Our VA lawyers can also help if you were given a low disability rating that’s not representative of your service-connected condition.
Navigating the VA
Laws governing VA benefits are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to navigate.
Given the complexity of laws governing VA benefits, it’s important that individuals seeking legal help obtain competent legal representation from an attorney experienced and familiar with VA benefit laws. Our veterans’ rights attorneys fight to ensure veterans and their dependents get the benefits they deserve.

Success Stories
"I filed for V.A. Benefits back in 1995 and was denied. I rocked on for 20+ years suffering in pain while working. I called one of the V.A. advocate attorneys I saw on TV and talked to them and at there advise filed another claim. Well this rocked on for about 8 to 10 months and was denied again. I called the same attorney back just for them to tell me they couldn't help me at this time. So I was put in touch with attorney Matt Cooper. He said my case sounded like an open and shut deal to him. Mr. Cooper took the time to listen and file supplemental claims on my behalf. 5 months later, BAM!, I received a letter in the mail telling me I had been awarded 50% disability on some, some, not all but some of the supplemental claims that Mr. Cooper filed on my behalf. Mr. Cooper is still working on my appeal and I am confident in Mr. Cooper and his staff will get me my claim. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone filing an appeal contact Mr. Cooper and his staff. They are professional, courteous and above all caring."

"I would like to thank you and Mr. Cooper and the staff for helping me with this claim. I had given up on any claim because other lawyers and the County Veteran Officer said they couldn't help me. If there is anything I can do to help my TDIU case just let me know. Again thank you all very much."
