Looking for an VA-Accredited VA Disability Attorney who gets it? You’ve called. You’ve emailed. You’ve followed up. They haven’t. Every month you wait is $1,000+ you’re not getting back.
Your VSO filed the claim and moved on. Stateside attorneys took your intake and disappeared. Whether you’re overseas or in the U.S., you’re stuck at the same rating you had years ago.
Most veterans stay stuck because no one builds an actual case. No nexus letter. No C&P prep. No strategy. Just paperwork in a queue.
Pacific Valor Law is a VA disability attorney firm that’s different. Every case gets a strategy, not a wish and a waiting game.

Dear Fellow Veteran,
If you’re a veteran living overseas, you already know how this goes. And if you’re stateside, you’ve probably dealt with the same runaround from firms that treat you like a number.
You filed a claim. Maybe a VSO helped. Then nothing. Weeks turned into months. You sent emails. Left voicemails. The only callback you got was scheduled for 2 AM your time. If they showed up at all.
I’ve seen veterans stuck at 50% for 10+ years because no one bothered to build an actual case. No nexus letter. No C&P prep. No strategy. Just paperwork in a queue.
I built Pacific Valor Law to fix that.
We represent veterans worldwide. Overseas and stateside. Wherever you are, if you’re stuck, we can help.
I’m a Marine veteran. I served in Okinawa. I came back as a civil servant and watched talented retirees, contractors, and federal employees get treated like low-priority cases simply because they weren’t stateside.
That ends here.
We take veterans from stuck to won. 50% to 100% P&T. Denied to approved. Every case gets a strategy, not a wish and a waiting game.
No upfront costs. No retainers. We only get paid from back pay we win for you. If there’s no back pay, you owe nothing in attorney’s fees.
You held up your end. You served. You followed up. You waited.
Now it’s our turn.
