TESTIMONIALS

Navigating the details of a VA claim is daunting and I found the people at Legal Help for Veterans to be perfect partners in getting it done. They helped smooth through all the minute details and made sure that I maximized my potential. The fee was extremely reasonable- they got nothing if I didn’t, and they took a fairly small percentage of back pay. Overall I would recommend them if you feel like you could use any assistance in this process.

I don't usually write reviews but this one is necessary. Katie Martin, and lead Attorney Fausone does EXCELLENT work for veterans. They have worked tirelessly for me in getting my benefits, even when I had completely given up. They both are very caring and concern and take much pride in their work, not to mention, they are super smart and professional. Katie answered all my emails and every questions without delay, on spot all the time. Attorney Fausone has educational podcasts that I've watched time and again. Please contact LHFV to assist you with any questions regarding VA benefits, I can personally guarantee you will not be sorry. THANK YOU LHFV for all you've done for me.
