Do You Qualify?
We are selective on purpose — because focus is what wins cases
Who We Represent
Our representation is built for veterans in a specific situation: the VA has already told you no, or given you less than you earned, and you are ready to fight back. That focus is deliberate. Appeals and rating fights are where an accredited agent makes the biggest difference — and where the regulations permit us to work on contingency under 38 CFR §14.636.
We do not take every case. We take cases we can win. That selectivity is what allows us to fight each one at the depth it requires — forensic file analysis, regulatory citation of every error, precision evidence packages, and relentless follow-through after each VA decision.
You Likely Qualify If…
This includes denials for lack of nexus, service connection, or an inadequate C&P exam, as well as ratings that do not reflect the true functional impact of your condition.
Under 38 CFR §3.12, veterans with an honorable discharge or a general discharge under honorable conditions are eligible for VA benefits. Other-than-honorable (OTH) discharges may still qualify through a Character of Discharge determination — ask us.
If you have a signed VA Form 21-22 or 21-22a with another VSO, attorney, or agent, that appointment must be revoked before we can represent you. We can walk you through the process.
Current treatment records are the ammunition. The VA cannot rate what is not documented. Consistent treatment shows both the existence and severity of your condition.
We do the forensic work, the legal arguments, and the filing. But we need you to attend your medical appointments, provide requested information, and show up for scheduled C&P exams.
Understanding Discharge Types
Your character of discharge determines your basic eligibility for VA benefits under 38 CFR §3.12. Here is what each type means for your claim:
Full eligibility for all VA benefits. This is the standard most veterans receive.
Eligible for most VA benefits, including disability compensation. You qualify for our representation.
Not automatically eligible, but the VA can make a “Character of Discharge” determination on a case-by-case basis. If you have an OTH discharge, contact us anyway — there may be a path forward, especially for service-connected conditions.
Generally bars VA benefits under 38 CFR §3.12(d). Exceptions exist for insanity at the time of the offense. If this applies to you, an attorney may be the better path.
Where We May Not Be the Right Fit
Federal regulation prohibits us from charging a fee for initial claims. We cannot represent you on contingency until the VA has issued at least one decision. However, the flat-fee Mission 5 Intelligence Brief can give you a forensic analysis of your file before you file.
You cannot have two representatives at the same time. If you want to switch to us, we can guide you through the revocation process using VA Form 21-22a.
Evidence wins claims. If you are not in active treatment and not willing to provide the documentation we identify as necessary, we cannot build the case.
An accredited claims agent has authority up through the Board of Veterans' Appeals. If your case needs to go to the CAVC, that requires an accredited attorney. We will tell you clearly if your case reaches that threshold and refer you appropriately.
What “Active Medical Treatment” Means
This is not a technicality — it is the foundation of your claim. Current medical records are the single most important category of evidence in any VA disability claim. Here is what “active treatment” looks like:
The VA rates what is documented, not what you feel. If your condition has worsened but your records do not reflect it, the C&P examiner has nothing to measure against. We identify evidence gaps and tell you exactly what documentation to build before we file.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Here is the intake process from first contact to representation:
Initial Contact
Day 1You submit your information through our intake form, call us at 702-992-4883, or email [email protected]. Alyssa, our New Client Coordinator, confirms receipt.
Accredited Review
Within 48 HoursAn accredited agent personally reviews your submission — your denial letter, service history, and current rating. This is not a sales call. We are looking at your file to determine whether we can actually help.
Honest Assessment
Day 2–3We contact you with a straight answer: what we see in your file, whether we believe we can improve your outcome, and which appeal lane fits your situation. If we are not the right fit, we tell you.
Formalization
Day 3–7If we move forward, you sign VA Form 21-22a (appointing us as your accredited representative) and the fee agreement. A copy is filed with the VA as required by 38 CFR §14.636.
Forensic Analysis Begins
Week 2+We pull your complete claims file and begin the structured evidence analysis — identifying every error, evidence gap, and strategic opportunity in your case.
Not Ready for Full Representation?
The Mission 5 Intelligence Brief ($750 flat fee) is available to any veteran — including those filing initial claims. It delivers a 7-section forensic file review in 7 days plus a 45-minute strategy call. You can use it yourself, take it to a VSO, or bring it back to us for full representation.

An accredited agent personally reviews every request honestly. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you — and point you in the right direction. No sales pitch. No runaround.
The Legal Test Behind Every Case We Take
Before we accept a case, we confirm the file can prove all three elements of service connection. Here is the standard we hold your claim to.
The 3-Prong Service Connection Test
All three must be present. Miss one and the claim collapses — no matter how severe the condition.
Current Diagnosis
A present, medically documented condition. No diagnosis — no claim. The VA cannot rate a symptom it has not confirmed.
In-Service Event or Exposure
An injury, illness, event, or toxic exposure that occurred (or was aggravated) during active service — shown in records, or presumed under the PACT Act.
Medical Nexus
A medical link stating the current condition is “at least as likely as not” (50% or greater) caused by the in-service event. This is where most claims are won or lost.
Real Veterans. Real Claims. Real Outcomes.
Every case on this desk belongs to someone who served. These are the veterans this practice represents — across every era, branch, and condition.
