What Our Clients Say
Average Rating:
Celeste was very helpful and reminded me multiple times to get records when I would forget.
I started trying to get a bit more disability after a heart attack & another stint then a pacemaker. I was at 30%. VA said 10% more. Contacted WOODS & WOODS. What an OUTSTANDING decision. I’m now at 100%. What I learned is the VA doesn’t tell you what you can apply for disability when you are diagnosed with something. Ex. I’ve used a CPAP device for 10 years. Didn’t know this was one issue you can get disability for. Takes time. But, that’s not WOODS, that’s the VA. WOODS & WOODS were persistent. That certainly was to my benefit. THANK YOU WOODS & WOODS.
As a veteran that truly needed help I hired woods and woods and it took some time but they won! I couldn’t do it without them and am so glad I put them on my case!! Also they do check in on progress of the case so you know what’s going on.. highly recommend using them!! Thanks woods and woods you guys rock!
Wood & Wood did an outstanding job with my case. Prior to contacting them, I was working on my claims all by myself for over 10 years. It seemed as if I had a hid a wall and couldn’t get around it. I decided to reach out to Wood & Wood and explained my issues. They took on my case and worked on my claims. The Case Manager assigned to my case was very professional and courteous. She kept me up to date with status of my case and any new developments. Wood & Wood got my claim approved and I finally was awarded the benefits that I honestly believe I was entitled to. If any veteran is struggling or having difficulties with their claim, I recommend for you to reach out to Wood & Wood. They will review your case and give you their professional opinion. Every staff I interacted with was friendly and very courteous. I would recommend Wood & Wood to handle your disability claim. They helped me and they can probably do the same for you
Woods and woods help me when I had given up, on va denials on my claims when I contacted them they put me at ease, they told me they would give there best to get my claims where they should be at , in a short period of time over 1yr they move my claims from 40 percent to 100 percent p&t, making me fill better to get what I deserve from the disabilities I got from doing 20 years in the navy, anyone needing help after being out of the service for a long period of time don’t give up contact woods and woods asap thanks woods and woods Ricky flournoy
After having no success in submitting claims to the VA, I conducted research on Legal Firms that could represent me. Woods & Woods was clearly a firm that I reached out to for legal representation in early Spring 2023. By August of 2023, my disability went 70% to 90% .. Given this was a milestone, the firm was not finished with the claim process, for TDIU. During this timeframe my administrator was Anne Laine, which consistently kept me updated and in the loop not only with action being conducted by the attorney's, but as well with the VA. In August 2025, the good news came in, I was awarded 100% disability via TDIU, with retroactive backpay beginning may 2023. I would have never been able to achieve this on my own. I you are Veteran struggling with the process on your own, PLEASE reach out to Woods & Woods, nothing to loose, but much to gain,

Why choose Woods & Woods?
Here are five reasons.
You don’t have to hire a lawyer for a VA disability appeal, but the veteran’s benefits appeal process is complicated, time-consuming, and usually requires years of waiting. The VA-accredited attorneys at Woods & Woods have represented thousands of veterans nationwide. We’d like the opportunity to represent you.
1. We know the evidence you need to get VA benefits.
Strong VA disability appeals are built on telling your story and presenting evidence that supports it.
Our VA appeals lawyers can help you find doctors, psychologists, and vocational experts who can write statements explaining how your physical and mental conditions are connected to your military service and how they are now affecting your quality of life.
We’ll also gather statements from family, friends, and people you were in service with who can paint a picture of your life before, during, and after military service.
Getting these statements along with military and medical records takes time and effort. Woods & Woods can take that burden off your shoulders so you have more time for what matters most to you.
2. We know what benefits you deserve.
The term “disability benefits” does not refer to just one VA compensation program. It is a group of several benefits available to veterans with service-connected health conditions. For example, did you know veterans who require in-home assistance can receive additional monthly benefits? Our attorneys do!
In our experience representing thousands of veterans, we have learned that a good understanding of medical science is just as important as knowing VA law to maximize your benefits in ways you may not have considered. Our veterans’ lawyers use medical evidence to explain what caused your conditions or how military service made them worse. That means we can often service connect health conditions our clients didn’t know were related to their time in the military–and, as a result, increase their monthly benefit.
3. We keep track of the paperwork and the deadlines for you.
The VA appeals process involves multiple forms, deadlines, and complicated rules established by federal law that are always changing.
You shouldn’t have to navigate the system all by yourself, and you certainly shouldn’t be expected to know every federal regulation related to veterans to get the benefits you are owed.
When you hire Woods & Woods, a team of VA disability lawyers, case managers, and legal analysts will work on your case to make sure you don’t miss a deadline, file the wrong form, or overlook a federal rule that could speed up your appeal. You should also know Woods & Woods is focused on veterans disability benefits cases–and we’ve won thousands of them.
4. You don’t pay anything unless we win.
While working on your case, we don’t collect a fee or expenses. If we win your case, we receive an agreed-upon percentage of your back pay. We will also bill for the cost of expenses we covered to gather the evidence needed to win your case. We will never take any of your future monthly payments. If we don’t win your claim, you don’t pay anything.
We understand that you might be considering asking a veterans service organization to take your case (especially since they don’t charge a fee). VA law is complicated and always changing, and VA disability benefits cases are challenging. The lawyers for veterans claims at Woods & Woods have more staff, more resources, and more time to dedicate to your case.
5. You deserve the benefits you earned and a VA disability lawyer who will fight to get them.
Your military service is over, but now you have physical or mental health conditions that you know are service connected. Convincing the VA hasn’t been easy and you don’t know how much more time you can invest.
If you’ve been denied VA disability benefits, don’t give up. Our veterans appeals lawyers have the time, resources, and knowledge to finish the job and do it well. Your service matters, and so do the benefits you were promised. Woods & Woods would like to be your partner in the effort to get you the compensation you deserve.
