Excellent! The team there performed an outstanding job for me, the insurer of the person at fault in the rear end collision accident wanted to settle out of court for pennies on a dollar. MRS&B got me a better deal. I had to have physical therapy for an injured neck. I still have problems with that injury but that's another story.

I was in an accident while working. Company let me go. While on workers comp. No one was paying me while treatment for accident was being done. But David Spencer and Daniela Campos took my case on and we’re great to work with. And they got me all of my back pay and settled my case. Would highly recommend them.

Can’t say enough great things about the team of people that assisted me with my case. Every single person I worked with was extremely helpful and seriously made the whole process as easy as possible for me. They maintained constant communication and worked hard to get the outcome I was hoping for. Highly recommend!

I just want to give Savannah Gay a hug shout out for all she has done for me. For roughly two years now Savannah has been doing everything she can to help me with my Service Connection claim. It’s taken a while because I have numerous issues and it hasn’t been easy to say the least. At times I haven’t been the most patient client, but Savannah has shown nothing but patience and professionalism throughout the process. We are finally getting close to the finish line and it’s mainly because of Savannah’s tenacity and perseverance!! I appreciate her so much and truly hope she gets the recognition she deserves for being a wonderful person to work with. I hope and pray she gets a promotion whenever possible because in my opinion she absolutely deserves it!!! Thanks for everything Savannah Gay! 😊👍🏻👍🏻

Heather was a great help to me on my case, as a veteran I appreciate her concern and respect towards me and my case. Heather worked hard to get me the benefits that I deserved. if I could rate her higher than five stars it would be twenty.stars.

My VA rating was suddenly cut from 100% to 30%. We contacted an attorney who referred us to MRSB because they have attorneys who work specifically with VA cases and who understand the enigmatic intricacies involved. It was a true pleasure to work with Dawson and Heather. They were knowledgeable, prompt in communication, and caring. I was very pleased to have my benefits restored. I can’t thank them enough.

My experience with your practice is off the charts amazing! Particularly regarding Dawson Rouse and Mrs. Heather (mic) Dropp. My first conversation with Mr. Rouse was a game changer for me. In short, he shared his years of serving in this capacity AND assured me he was ALL IN on my behalf. Mrs. (mic) Dropp is NEXT LEVEL! Helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable, consistent, persistent, positive, affirming... I could go on. I think you get the point. I call her mic drop because she is on point and in it to win it! I am grateful to Mr. Rouse and Mrs. Dropp for their endless care and attention to detail. God bless. -William Yancey

Dawson Rouse

Dawson is originally from Kinston, North Carolina. After graduating from high school, Dawson enlisted in the United States Navy for six years, serving as a CWS technician. 

Dawson completed multiple overseas deployments onboard the USS Mitscher (DDG-57). After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Dawson attended North Carolina State University and graduated with a degree in Economics. Dawson then immediately enrolled in North Carolina Central University’s School of Law and graduated with academic honors. 

After graduating from law school, Dawson represented clients in criminal and civil proceedings before accepting employment with the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2014, working as a first-line decision-maker (Rating Veterans Service Representative) and later as an attorney with the Board of Veterans’ Appeals from August 2018 to December 2021.  

While an attorney with the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, Dawson wrote hundreds of decisions granting benefits in the most complicated cases that circulate within the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, to include herbicide exposure (Agent Orange, other variants of herbicides), contaminated water claims, undocumented military sexual trauma, Gulf War claims, medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illnesses, and complex high-level special monthly compensation (SMC) awards.  

Dawson was presented with awards for his writing and for exemplifying a dedication to granting Veterans’ benefits. 

Dawson is admitted to practice law in the State of North Carolina and is active within the National Organization of Veterans’ Advocates.

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.
