Out of the Trenches, Into the Sea
When I started my practice, it was right into the trenches of the VA. Doing battle as best I could for Veterans. The Regional Office and the Board is where the action happens. Its where benefits are granted or denied. Where your client gets relief just in time to avoid eviction. Act and react. Doing a deep dive review and formulating the best plan of attack to get this Veteran the benefits they deserve, as quickly as possible. That is what practicing and litigating is about. Its what gets a Veteran the relief that they desperately need. Recently, I have had to leave the trenches and go out into the sea, but with good cause. Not as a means to abandon ship, or you, but to (hopefully) help more Veterans.

My wife and I sat in the back of an Uber headed to our hotel room in Washington, D.C. for the Fall NOVA Conference when we got word that Charlie had been shot. My stomach sank. I know hers did, too. While Charlie wasn’t a Veteran, he damn sure appreciated everyone of you that have taken up arms in defense of the Country he loved—the Country we all love. Charlie leaves behind a wife, beautiful young children, a business he built from the ground up, and so much more. More than anything, he leaves behind a legacy that tells us something—it tells us that this is the greatest damn Country this side of Heaven, and its still worth fighting for it.
