Should I Get A Free Consultation About Veterans Benefits?

Does a Free Consultation Cost Me Anything

No.  Our consultation is completely free with no obligation.

How does the Free Consultation work?

Our consultation process may be a bit different from other firms you may have contacted before. Our firm wants to be absolutely sure that we clearly understand each individual case before making any decisions or giving any suggestions in order to give the most help to each veteran that contacts our office.

Our consultation process involves working directly with our Veterans Disability Team starting with our Intake Specialist. Once you have called our office or filled out the Consultation Request information located on this page, our Intake Specialist will send you a digital form via email that asks questions about your service and your claims history. Once we have received the responses to that form, we may ask for a few documents such as Rating Decisions, Notices of Disagreement, etc. to get further clarification regarding your particular case. Once our dedicated VA team has gathered all of the necessary information, our VA attorney Travis Studdard reviews that information. If it seems as though we may be able to assist with your case or we need further information that would be better addressed in a phone call, we will then schedule a time for you and our attorney to discuss your case. Unfortunately, because our VA attorney does personally review each case, he is unable to speak directly with each veteran that contacts us. Some consultations may take longer than others based on the complexity of the case, but our team will keep you updated throughout the duration of the consultation.

Do I have to come into your office to have a free consultation?

No. The consultation with one of our Veterans  Disability Team Members can be done without a face-to-face meeting since we work with veterans all over the country!  We are happy to meet with you in person if you would like to schedule a time to come to our office to discuss your claim, but please be aware that we make our decision based on multiple factors that cannot be covered in an office visit.

Travis Studdard meets with a client about her workers' compensation caseHow Much Will It Cost If I Decide To Hire You As My Attorney?

If our team believes that we can be of assistance with your case, there will still be no cost to you unless we recover money for you.  This is because we handle veterans benefits cases on a contingency fee contract.  This is different than attorneys that work by the hour or require that you pay money up front, known as a retainer.

A contingency fee means you only pay us for the work that we do on your case if we get something for you.  If we do not recover money for you, then our work on your case is free as well.  It is not going to cost you any money up front to hire us.  If you decide to hire us, we will go over the contract with you and answer any questions that you have about this.

Are There Any Costs Other Than Attorney’s Fees?

The only small costs that might be incurred are the costs associated with your case.  This cost is not for the work we do on your case.  It is for the charges by other companies to get the information we need to pursue your case.

These charges might include getting copies of medical records, hiring experts, or other things.  We will sometimes go ahead and pay these costs for you while your case is going.

Generally, these costs are paid back to us when you receive your back due benefits.  However, you are technically still responsible for the costs even if we do not win your case.

How Can I Schedule a Free Consultation?

A free consultation with one of our Veterans Disability Team Members is easy to set up.  There are two ways to do it.

    1. Click here and complete the form to request a free consultation. That will send us an email and one of our Veterans Disability Team Members will get in touch with you within one business day.
    2. Call us at (770) 691-1689 and press 2. This will take you straight to our VA team’s line. We will get some basic information over the phone to get the process started.

As you can see, we try to make our consultation process as straightforward and helpful as possible.  There is no obligation on your part in requesting a consultation.  Instead, we offer free consultations as a way for you to get the information to decide if we can help you.  We look forward to hearing from you.

I had the pleasure to be helped by Travis and his team on my VA disability claim. They know what they are doing, and I would definitely work with them again. I recommend them to any veteran that has a wrongfully denied claim with the VA...Joel Onomo
Travis and his team helped me get my case done when I couldn't get it done by myself.Everything went much faster and better than I expected.I highly recommend his team for any veteran trying to get a claim processed. Norman Scott,U.S.Army veteranNorman Scott
Jason Perkins and his team are so kind, knowledgable and helpful. They were thorough with all my legal needs and made sure my medical needs were taken care of financially. What I most appreciate is that he was always very clear about what was best for my case, but he also always told me I needed to do what was best for me, both mentally and physically. He was always available to answer questions, made sure I understood, and was willing to let me make decisions regarding my case. His ethics are beyond reproach. He would not take a percentage of a payment he did not help me receive. You can trust him. He always made it clear that my mental and physical well-being were more important than any part of my case. Then he would explain what would be best for the case and why, and allow me time to decide. Being in the Worker's Compensation system was an incredibly demeaning experience. I am a strong, educated woman, but when everyone in a system tells you that you are not worthy of the care you have received your entire life, and you instantly become less than to many of those who are suppose to be caring for you, it would weigh on anyone. I am so thankful I had Jason and his team fighting for me, getting me things I never would have imagined would be denied, like a second opinion before surgery, or physical therapy instead of opioids. I cannot imagine trying to handle this experience by myself.Andri Pilgrim
Would definitely recommend 10/10! The team was super helpful through the entire process, and always were available for questions anytime I needed. Always quick to respond, and we’re always sweet and professional!Haley Nicole
Perkins Studdard LLC has been wonderful to work with from the first day through the final journey. They were prompt in requesting the information from me so they could appeal my claim with the VA. I had exhausted all means trying but they were able to get me to 100%. I would "HIGHLY" recommend using them if you are having difficulty getting anywhere with the VA.Mike Black
When i found this law firm I was going through a hard time not just with the VA but mentally as well. And after i hard denial i reached out to Travis and let me just say that was the best decision of my life. From the first call i knew i had made the right decision they are nothing short of amazing. Shoutout to Jessica and Chandler they both helped ease my stress and make the process so smooth it felt really good to be heard. My only mistake was not reaching out to them sooner. Thank you all so very muchRilesia Singleton
Perkins Studdard LLC has done for me what VSO, the DAV, and I could not do on my own. For 10 years after my last rating the VA was bound and determined to keep me at my current percentage. My body was tired physically and mentally. I needed help that the civilian world was not going to let me stop work for. I contacted Perkins Studdard and worked with Jessica and Travis. To tell you what I ever hoped for was greatly exceeded. I am able to now properly heal since 2007 when I was medically discharged. I promise when we feel like we are forgotten you have people like Travis and Jessica that work hard for you to make sure you are not. Their policy on pay is exceptional and even when I got aggravated they understood how to keep me calm and helped my patience. I think the VA does not like to see them coming. I got the holy grail, home run, I can breath decision I needed. Let them help you!Lisa Jordan
