What Our Clients Say
Average Rating:
They got me from 40% to 90%. They are great at what they do, but once they get you TDIU and you are being paid at the 100% pay level they just quit on you no matter what they leave unresolved. I still had 3 things they had filed for me and they quit cause there was no more money to be made. They start off all gung-ho and then just vanish when they get all the money they will get out of your case. I wish they would add a clause to their contract stating they will still represent you after getting paid until all things they have filed for you have been decided. Other than that little part they were fantastic with me. At first I hit a bump in the road and was dropped from 70% to 40% and that really sucked. About four months later I received a letter from the VA stating that it had been a clerical error and because of what Woods & Woods had filed I was at 90% and TDIU had come through so I was now getting paid at the 100%. They did amazing things that I could not have done by myself since it pretty much takes trained specialists to figure out what the VA is referring to or wanting.
Woods & Woods got me to 100% in about three months! I got stalled trying to do it myself FOR YEARS at about 70%. Woods & Woods comes in and gets it done! And then they even turned around and got me backpay for my permanent disability! Talk about a much-needed blessing! My case manager Joanie was very understanding, helpful, patient with me (and my random questions) and most of all, excellent with communication. I would definitely recommend them to anybody and everybody no matter where you are in your VA claim journey!
Every person I spoke with was very professional and nice Mrs. Jarvis the team member who took my information was truly amazing she was focused,pleasant and very knowledgeable plus she explained everything in easy to understand terminology. Almost like your talking with a good friend or family member who really cares about you and your situation. Woods and Woods website ,online presence and newsletters plus pertinent information is impressive, topnotch all the way around I absolutely recommend this service for any veteran who has been wanting help and has no idea of how or what to do in this process. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!
Easy to talk with. Very knowledgeable, showing compassion, respect, and a "maybe" when all seemed lost or " NO ".
