Derek is very professional and thoughtful. He does his job well, and is always a plus, when your attorney has military experience. It makes easier to understand one another.

If you”ve decided to file a claim for VA disability then save yourself months or years of grief and frustration trying to navigate the beauracracy you’re about to face if you haven’t already. Contact Derek Smith. First of all, you’ll get him on the phone, not a raft of screeners who are not attorneys. He is your attorney, advocate, and the one that will personally handle your case. He is familiar with the system, knows what the VA is and is not looking for and knows case law, which makes it difficult for the VA to argue against as they do their best to deny your claim. He’ll listen to you, then be upfront with what he thinks. If you both agree on a course of action, then sit back, relax, and he’ll do the rest. The only thing he can’t do is speed up the wheels of bureaucracy, though he has in my case due to age. I’d gotten 10% due to Agent Orange presumptive ischemic heart disease when I finally found Derek. Previously, I’d barely gotten the time of day from my VA assigned VSO. Other diseases in my claim went nowhere. Derek now has me at 60% disability rating and is working on 100%. I could say more but just give him a call you won’t be sorry. Brian Cook Utah

Working with Derek was definitely the smartest move for me. Without him I wouldn’t be service connected. I started at 0% to now a pretty good rating. He managed to get everything pushed through the VA asked for. Highly recommend if you need any help with service connected disability.

The main difference with Derek is he actually cares about his fellow veterans and has compassion only matched by his knowledge and expertise in navigating the maze put before us . I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Derek and would recommend him to any of my fellow veterans.
