they give you a bunch of hype to get your business. if they fill they can't win the case they pass the buck to someone else. 

Business response:

We're sorry we weren't able to take you on as a client. We wish we could personally assist every veteran who reaches out to us for help, but we'd need a much larger staff! According to our records, it does look like we referred you to one of our partner firms who may be able to help. We wish you the best of luck with your claim, and we hope there are no hard feelings. ❤

They made no attempt to gather any detailed information to see what they can do. Should be named wouldn't and wouldn't, if fits their actions 

Business response:

Hi Raul. I'm sorry you didn't have a positive experience with our firm. We wish we were able to take your case. However, the majority of the veterans we serve are unable to work, and since you indicated you planned to return to work, we did not believe we could make the case to the VA that you are unemployable. We did offer to refer you to one of our partner firms for assistance, but we did not receive your permission to give them your contact information. We do wish you the best of luck with your claim, and we hope you secu... read more

#WoodsAndWoods sucks! Lies lies and more lies! 

Business response:

We're sorry our relationship ended the way it did, Mr. King. After a few months of working together, it became obvious to us that our firm was not a good fit for your needs. We appreciate your enthusiasm to be involved in the appeals process. However, we felt you lacked the trust in us that was needed for a smooth resolution to your claim. Further, we felt your insistence on controlling the process would prove detrimental to your case in the long run. Finally, we don't believe our staff should have to be cursed at or badgere... read more

I’m a Marine veteran and I would not recommend using these folks. I called and was shoved off to an “advocacy group” then denied any assistance. Beware… they sounded more like charlatans to me. 

Business response:

We wish we could help every veteran that is needing assistance, but unfortunately with current resources we can only help those who meet a specific criteria. We do our best to provide quality referrals to veterans we cannot help. We are sorry to hear your experience was not a positive one and wish you luck on your claim.

they 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

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.
