Mary TrevinoDecember 30, 2023.Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, Very outstanding law firm ,great communication, they stay be your side All the way to the end 👍👍👍👍👍Maurice MonroeDecember 27, 2023.Just wanted to give my opinion on this law firm. They are great if you are in need of help please turn to them. Vicki and the team over there are great, with this being my first time using a law office to help me and my family after our car accident I am very grateful and pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend!!!!Eddie PippenDecember 1, 2023.I have used this group for the past several years. They have helped me with my veterans benefits. Dawson Rouse and Heather Dropp are both excellent and very knowledgeable with veterans benefits. Heather is the paralegal handling my case and has been highly motivated and is a high speed individual. She is a go getter and always thinks several steps ahead for veterans she is helping. You won’t go wrong with choosing them to handle your veterans benefits.B. CoxNovember 20, 2023.The hits just keep on coming!!! I cannot express enough just how valuable and thorough the team of Dawson Rouse and Heather Dropp have been. Not only did they work tirelessly to ensure I received every bit of my 100% disability rating, but they went above and beyond to ensure I received every penny of compensation I was due, both presently, and backpay. My life has been changed all because I decided to call on MRSB to represent me after the VA had denied every single claim. I'm proud to not only call them my legal team, but also my family, which is EXACTLY what Heather and Dawson make you feel like. If there was an award for legal team of century, assuredly, Heather and Dawson would stand atop the podium!! DO NOT HESITATE!! CALL THEM AND LET THEM CHANGE YOUR LIFE TOO!!!Roger BrownNovember 15, 2023.After I was denied disability for hip replacement I had just about given up. I saw an ad for MRSB and decided I had nothing to lose. After talking to Heather Dropp (MRSB Paralegal), I was more confident something could be done. It’s taken a while, but, because of the effort by Heather and Guy Rouse, I have 30% disability for my hip replacement and they found other service connected issues we are filing claims for as well. A bit of advice…before you give up on your denied claim, give MRSB a chance to look into it. They’re very knowledgeable and they work for veterans. MRSB will give you 100%.MacNovember 12, 2023.Morgan and Dawson were very helpful and reassuring to my mother and I. They helped us through the appeal process and are still helping us. The firm truly cares about our veterans and the families. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help with a VA claim.Robert BusztaOctober 27, 2023.I had a VA disability claim in the system for two-plus years. Since I filed my claim, I experienced errors, mistakes, duplication of mistakes and many delays from the VA. I contacted MRS&B. Their team worked with me and supported me and kept me abreast of the events to bring my claim to closure. They exceeded my expectations for support. Thank You Kristen, Morgan and Dawson for your efforts. This was a great team effort!
Applying For A Better Rating
Nationwide Accredited Appeals Attorneys Will Help You Apply For a Better Benefits Rating!
You and Your Loved Ones Deserve the Stability Your Sacrifices Earned.
If your family needs economic benefits for medical expenses or strictly to survive from day to day, then it’s clear that your Veterans’ benefits are incredibly important. Eligibility, as well as a rating percentage, are areas that can be subject to errors by the VA officials who, unfortunately, usually have little to no time to accurately assess your claims.
Do you feel as if your rating does not match your claim?
Or does your family need aid? That’s where our firm comes in.
Marcari, Russotto, Spencer and Balaban see it as our duty to help eligible Veterans and their family members to apply for the rating that they feel strongly mirrors their needs.
I Want A Better Rating, How Can I Apply?
If you are interested in applying for a better rating, the most important thing to know right away is that you can have an accredited agent, or an attorney aid you with the process.

• Do not wait to get started, time is a key factor in getting a better rating.
• Compile all vital information from your medical records into a summarized sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost To Hire You?
It does not cost you anything to hire our Veterans Benefits Law Firm as your attorneys. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win you an award. Our firm charges 20%, which is deducted by the VA from your lump sum payment for retroactive benefits.
How Long Will It Take To Appeal My Benefits Denial?
While it can take six months or more for a Veteran to receive a decision on his or her initial benefits claim from the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeals could take 2 years of more. The Department of Veterans Affairs lacks the funding to properly staff and process benefits applications. The number of applications from recently returning Veterans must be dealt with while the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to actively work towards providing services to prior generations of Veterans.
How Do I Increase My Disability Rating?
Great question! If the condition that you are actively receiving disability benefits for has now ultimately worsened over time, you can file an increased rating claim. It’s fairly simple, and it involves filing out an online claim form or mailing a letter to your regional office documenting the change in your condition.
