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.

Working with Jason was an absolute pleasure if I had any questions or concerns they were right there with the right answers I would recommend Perkins and Studdard to anyoneRickey
I recently needed a lawyer for a Workers Compensation Inj. The Dr. I saw ordered back surgery. The company declined to approve the surgery. So i went to the Law firm of Perkins & Studdard, as they were highly recommended…Mr. Studdard is a Veterans Affairs Lawyer. Mr. Perkins & his staff handled my case… every person in the firm were nice, helpful, and showed empathy for my situation. Mr. Perkins is very thorough & at the same time worked diligently for me. He got me compensated fairly. If not for this Law firm im not sure what i would’ve done. Thankfully they lowered my stress and communicated regularly. If you need help with an injury etc… Perkins & Studdard is who I highly recommend!!!tim copley
After my VA claim was denied, I felt defeated, depressed, and overwhelmed. I spent a lot of time researching different agencies, only to find that many of them made promises they couldn't back up and were not properly accredited. I decided to give Perkins Studdard LLC a chance because they were accredited, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the very beginning, Jessica, Travis, and the entire team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate the VA claims and appeals process. Their guidance, communication, and dedication made a difficult process much easier to manage. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I finally received the benefits I had been fighting for. I highly recommend Perkins Studdard LLC to any veteran seeking assistance with a VA claim or appeal. Don't waste your time elsewhere—this team truly cares and delivers outstanding service.nelson figueroa
Travis, Jessica and the team were amazing. I’ve been working for the benefits I’ve deserved for years and should have worked with Perkins Studdard initially. They were always great answering questions and helped me more than I ever could have imagined. I highly recommended them as a VA disability law team to help anyone. I’d give more stars if I could.Theodore Tarbush
I highly recommend Travis and his team. From start to finish, the communication and professionalism were outstanding. Jessica was absolutely amazing — responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help answer questions and keep me informed throughout the process. Travis was also excellent and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. Their entire office treated me with respect and care, and I truly appreciate everything they did for me. If you’re looking for an attorney and legal team that genuinely cares about their clients, I would definitely recommend them.Carlos Thornton
Travis Studdard and his team were always professional and from intake to case resolution, they were extremely pleasant to work with. After working closely with them for roughly six years, they successfully appealed my sleep apnea claim with the VA. At times I thought about giving up, but it was their diligence and confidence in their approach that gave me the ability sustain. There were no surprises, they led me by hand every step of the way. My family and I are truly appreciative for their great work. His team truly cares and it shows. They will fight to the end for veterans. I couldn't be happier with the results.James
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
