About this business
Recommendedthey get the job done, then nickel and dime you for expenses legally covered by the percentage provided by the federal government.
Business response:
Our client contract states the circumstances under which we may assess a fee and case expenses. The fee is 20% of your backpay. Case expenses are costs that we temporarily absorb on your behalf in order to develop the evidence needed to win your case. Both are only charged to the client if we win the case. In your case, as in most of our clients', the case expenses you were invoiced for represent a small fraction of the total backpay we were able to recover for you. We apologize if this bill came as a surprise. That was defi... read more
RecommendedThey brought Me From being stuck at 30%. Denial after Denial . Finally rated at 70%. Appealed for Total and unableto work Disability Simnce 2014. I started With 20% Due to Diabetes Agent Orange. THEN 30 & THEN 50%. WITHOUT Woods & Woods I would still be stuck at 30%.
Business response:
Thank you for your kind words, Forrest! It's been an honor representing you.
I would never recommend this firm to another veteran! Save your money, use one of the Service Organizations. Using this law firm will not expedite your appeal. Once the documents are submitted, the only correspondence you will receive is that the case is still being processed! I went to the VA.Gov webpage and discovered my appeal was granted, when I contacted my Case Manager she didn’t know that the appeal was granted nor did she seem to care! Later, I saw a letter from the VA.gov site that explained my results but ha... read more
Business response:
Tom, first I want to congratulate you on winning your appeal and receiving a 100% rating with eight years of missing backpay. I am sorry you do not feel as though we provided a valuable service. I will review your case one more time to see what we could have done better. The VA regularly sends Rating Decisions to veterans weeks ahead of their representative. This process is a regular source of frustration for our law firm and service organizations. While frustrating, the delay in VA notification does not slow down the proc... read more
Your Ad is misleading. You state you help ALL veterans. I needed help with an appeal and I was denied because I "Have a job" and you only help unemployed veterans. Wasted hours of my time filling out your forms and getting my papers together for nothing! Devon who was assigned to help won't even answer her phone or return my calls.
We had them for over a year for my husband and they dropped us because they said it didn't look like my husband would get 100 percent unemployability. I was so disappointed in them. will not ever recommend them!! They just finally got off of my husbands claim.
I couldn't get helped because they only help Veterans that are unable to work. Thanks Woods and Woods. Wish that would have been said on your website or FB page
RecommendedBecause they draw the line of integrity and hold the Government to it!
Good luck with getting them to call you back called ever other day with no response from anybody
Business response:
Hi Glenn. We have tried to reach out a few times - sorry about the phone tag. I will have a staff member reach out today. Thanks for your patience, Neil Woods
I cannot state with sufficient anger or frustration that Woods and Woods, THE VETERANS FIRM, are actually profiteers. They represent no one except their bottom line. How can you be sure? .......... When you contact them for assistance, they pass you off to a different firm. I reside in SW Michigan, I contacted Wood and Woods and I get "referred" to a firm located in Jacksonville, NC. Sounds like no service at all. More like bait-and-switch where both firms get paid. I do not recommend Woods & Woods... I suggest you chec... read more
Business response:
Hi Michael. I am sorry we did not accept your case. We only handle certain types of VA Disability claims. For claims we do not handle, we offer assistance from our partner law firms. I try to get every veteran the representation they deserve. All partner law firms are highly-qualified and they do a great job for their clients. Woods & Woods is owned by myself, Neil Woods, Mike Woods, and Sarah Woods. Zack Evans is a wonderful associate attorney at my law firm, but he is not an owner. Best wishes, Neil Woods
