As a Desert Storm Combat Veteran, after trying to fight the VA on my own for nearly 15 years, and having my initially (in 2000) granted 20% of Service Connected Disability first reduced and then completely taken away (in 2008), I had given up. However, after seeing a Jan Dils commercial in 2016, my wife urged me to at least contact them for a free consult. We previously had less than positive experiences with lawyers (to say the least), but my wife insisted and I ultimately gave in...which turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Jan Dils took on my case, and her awesome staff got to work on it immediately. Everyone we dealt with at her firm was knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and extremely patient with always answering all of our questions to the very best of their ability. Even messages left on a case worker's answering machine were ALWAYS responded to in a timely manner (often in less than 24 hours). The conferences and hearings we had with VA representatives and judges all turned out in our favor...with a big "Thank you!" to Lead Veterans Disability Attorney Heather Vanhoose. In 2023, I was finally granted my full 100% Service Connected VA Disability, and last month (February 2025) the equally awesome Jan Dils Social Security team also managed to get my SSDI approved in record time. THANK YOU to everyone at Jan Dils who worked hard for this best possible outcome!
