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.

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.
