VA Claim Appeals

If you’ve received a VA decision that doesn’t reflect the severity of your service-connected condition—or denies your claim outright—you have the right to appeal.

When It Applies

Appeals are common when a veteran receives a low rating, a denial, or believes the VA overlooked critical medical or service evidence. If you’re within a year of your decision letter, you may be eligible to file a Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claim, or Board Appeal.

How We Can Help

Our accredited team has extensive experience navigating the appeals process. We’ll review your case, identify gaps or missed evidence, and craft a strong packet to support your claim. We’re veterans and military legal professionals who understand the system - we’ve been through it.

Cost

We charge a one-time, flat 20% of your back pay, if your claim is successful.


VA Additional Claims 

You may be eligible to submit a new claim for benefits if a condition has worsened or you’ve developed a new service-connected disability.

When It Applies 

Additional claims are appropriate when your existing condition has gotten worse or when you’ve been diagnosed with a new condition related to your service. You can also file for secondary service-connected conditions.

How We Can Help 

We guide you through the process of gathering medical and service evidence, building a clear case, and submitting a well-documented claim. We know what the VA looks for and how to present your case in a way that gets results.

Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) 

CRSC is a benefit for eligible military retirees that replaces retirement pay offset by VA disability compensation when the disability is combat-related. In other words, if your injuries were caused by combat, training for combat, or hazardous duty, CRSC restores a portion of your retirement pay that would otherwise be reduced.

When It Applies 

CRSC is for eligible military retirees with combat-related injuries and VA-rated disabilities. If you receive retired pay and VA disability compensation, and your injuries are combat-related, you may qualify.

How We Can Help 

We help identify combat-related evidence and complete your CRSC application, making a clear case for why your disability meets the criteria. Our experience includes helping veterans across all branches successfully secure CRSC.

Cost

We charge a one-time, flat 20% of your back pay, if your claim is successful.


Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) 

CRDP allows eligible military retirees to receive both VA disability compensation and military retirement pay without a reduction. 

When It Applies 

If you have a VA disability rating of 50% or higher and are receiving retired pay, you may qualify for CRDP. It applies to regular military retirees, not reservists who retired under non-regular conditions. Unlike CRSC, CRDP does not require combat-related injuries and is applied automatically if you qualify.

How We Can Help 

We help assess eligibility and advise on how to navigate CRDP qualification. If you're unsure whether you qualify or how to apply, we provide clarity and support at every step.

We charge a one-time, flat 20% of your back pay, if your claim is successful.


Response to Administrative Investigations

An administrative investigation in the military is a formal process used by commanders to gather facts and assess potential misconduct, safety violations, or other concerns that don’t rise to the level of criminal proceedings. 

When you're under investigation, how you respond can make a major difference in the outcome.

When It Applies

If you're notified of an AR 15-6, command-directed, or other administrative investigation, a timely and well-crafted response is critical.

Here are some common examples in the military:

  1. Equal Opportunity (EO) and Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Investigations – Focused on allegations of discrimination or harassment.

  2. Command Climate or Toxic Leadership Investigations – Initiated due to complaints about unit culture or leadership behavior.

  3. Security Violations or Clearance-Related Investigations – Examine breaches of protocol or issues that could impact a service member’s security clearance.

  4. Fraternization - Initiated due to prohibited relationships or interactions between individuals of different ranks or levels of authority.

How We Can Help

Our team prepares compelling, fact-based responses to administrative investigations, protecting your rights and reputation. We know how to present your case clearly and professionally, drawing on our extensive military legal experience.

Letter of Reprimand Rebuttal

A Letter of Reprimand is initiated by your command to address alleged misconduct. If left unchallenged, a Letter of Reprimand can follow you for the rest of your career and sometimes, lead to an administrative separation.

When It Applies

If you've received a Letter of Reprimand, especially one intended for your permanent file, you have the right to respond and request removal or local filing.

How We Can Help

We write powerful rebuttals that contextualize the event, highlight your record of service, and advocate for the fairest possible outcome. Our insight into the command structure and regulation gives your rebuttal the edge it needs.

Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) Response & Statement

Often referred to as Article 15 in the Army and Air Force, Captain’s Mast in the Navy and Coast Guard, and Office Hours in the Marine Corps, NJP allows commanders to address alleged misconduct without referring the case to a court-martial.

While the process is administrative in nature, the consequences can be significant—ranging from extra duty and restriction to reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay, or adverse impacts on your career.

When It Applies

NJP is initiated when a command seeks to address minor misconduct through administrative channels. As the accused service member, you generally have the right to accept or refuse NJP, and to submit a written response or statement in mitigation, extenuation, or defense.

How We Can Help

We help you craft a professional, well-structured written response that tells your side of the story, highlights mitigating factors, and advocates for a fair outcome. Whether your strategy involves accepting responsibility or disputing aspects of the allegations, we ensure your response is aligned with the standards and culture of your branch.

We have extensive experience supporting service members across all branches in preparing NJP responses that protect careers and reputations.

Cost

Following your free consultation, if we mutually agree to proceed, our services are provided for a flat fee of $4,000, due upon signing the client agreement. Unless additional actions are requested, you will not incur any further charges.

If, after reviewing your case in more detail, we determine that submitting a written response is not in your best interest, we’ll explain our reasoning and refund a portion of the fee. Our goal is to provide honest, strategic guidance—even when that means advising against taking further action.


Review Board Actions (e.g. BCMR, DRB, ARBA) 

Review boards give you a second chance to correct your military record or upgrade your discharge.

When It Applies

Cost

After the free consultation and our services are deemed a good fit $5,000 will be due at signing. Unless additional actions are requested, this is a flat fee and you won’t be charged anything more.


Administrative Separation Boards 

If you're facing separation, the outcome can affect your benefits, career, and future.

When It Applies 

Admin boards are convened for misconduct, poor performance, or other issues that could result in an other-than-honorable discharge.
