Ban Mai

Overall is a lousy and bloated service. I requested simplified service, and was greeted with unrelated RFI’s which delayed VLG’s service response. Clearly they are mass banking, and care nothing about the veteran.

Rejected my case without providing reason. I know they would not make a lot of money from me but guess I not worth their time.

It unclear why they denied my case to begin with. Be careful with organizations who take your personal information like this and don’t identify why they deny your case. They could be predatory form who take your info and sell your information. I for one don’t want my info to be out there and they never said to me that they will not keep my info.

Absolutely horrible experience. Do not use this company!!!!! The only people that answer the phone are the sales team. They are for sure a chop shop. They just want as many cases as they can get and see which ones will pay them. No one returns phone calls and no one answers questions. I have been lied to every time I have tried to get details. One of many examples: The VA would send a request for information to me, with a request for a response in 15 days. I would email the contact person the company gave me " Edward Barrick" and he would return a 1 sentence email 45 days later. I had to take my best guess and provide the documents to the VA without an guidance from whom is supposed to be giving me guidance (the law firm). I never gave the paralegal the documents the VA requested but yet he told me he took care of it for me. Not sure what he means and he didn't elaborate. Meantime, I sent them what they asked for and now I am wondering if there is conflicting information with the VA. I called to try and have someone help me and when no one but the sales would take my call, I told the salesperson (the only people that answer) to note in my file that I didn't want to work with them anymore. Then I received a call back from another attorney (I think her name was Amanda). I explained the horrible service I had received. She agreed without agreeing that service was bad. A very lawyer response from her (not to admit wrong doing). She assigned me a new paralegal and she promised me both that the paralegal would respond to any email I send within a week (I don't think asking for a response in a week labels me a needy client Ha-Ha) and that she would have the paralegal send me an email so I know who my new point of contact is. I am still waiting on that email. I would call to find out but no one takes calls or returns messages. Along with this, I am not sure if they filed for the appeal correctly. I want to ask them and clarify a few points but I can't get anyone to talk to me. I think it was filed incorrectly and therefore effecting my chances to win the appeal. A 5 minute conversation with them would help me understand if it was filed correctly or if a mistake was made that can be fixed. As well, the lawyer assigned to me case Mark Lippmann who may be the owner of the horrible firm/company I have never spoken with. While writing this review I called in and asked for the owners name and I spoke with the only people willing to take a call (the sales team) and they said they were unable to provide the owners name and that was private information. While maybe this company has executed flawlessly, I have no idea as they refuse to take calls or update me. Maybe everything is perfect and maybe they did things incorrectly. As a vet that doesn't high expectations, and is fine with waiting a week for a return phone call or email, I beg of anyone reading this please be warry of this company and check all other companies to see if they have the same business model (I am assuming this is very popular way for these law firms to work).

How long does the appeals process take?

Historically, the appeals process takes anywhere from 18 months to seven years. In 2017, the VA initiated the Rapid Appeals Modernization Program (RAMP). The program goals are to simplify and speed up the appeals process to one-year or less. There are many unanswered questions about RAMP and it is unclear if the goals are attainable in 2018 and beyond. Veterans Law Group is following closely and will provide information as the RAMP develops.
