Hired Attorney Casey Walker

I've been working with the VA Disability Group for about 5 months now and they have helped me go from a 37% rating to a 64% rating by getting previously denied claims approved. Casey Walker does a good job of communicating with me and letting me know what I'm actually eligible for. They are continuing to work on a sleep apnea claim I was denied for and are submitting new claims for additional stuff I never realized I was eligible for. Great law firm to help get you want you've earned!

When I first started this process, I never imagined how much of a difference Derek Dee with VA Disability Group would make in my life. His dedication, knowledge, and willingness to always answer my questions gave me confidence throughout the process. He didn’t stop after my original claim either. Derek continued working on my case and was able to successfully get my disability benefits backdated an additional two years (a total of 4 years), which made a huge difference for me and my family. As a veteran, it means a lot to have someone fighting for you who truly understands what you’ve been through. I’m incredibly grateful for everything Derek did for me.

Working with VA Disability Group PLLC, and especially Melissa, has been one of the best decisions my family and I have ever made. In just over a year, Melissa helped me go from a 40% VA disability rating to 100%, and the difference this has made in our lives cannot be overstated. Her ability to navigate the VA system, cut through the bureaucracy, and present the right information in exactly the right way was nothing short of incredible. She knew precisely what the VA needed in order to make a fully informed and fair decision, and she guided the process every step of the way with clarity, professionalism, and genuine care. Most importantly, they truly care about their clients. This wasn’t just paperwork and processes, it was personal. The support, communication, and dedication were outstanding, and the results speak for themselves. VA Disability Group PLLC was worth every penny, and I would recommend them without hesitation to any veteran seeking the benefits they deserve.

It was indeed a pleasure and rewarding experience working Derek Dee and his staff. I could not have gotten to the level of success or satisfaction without them. Derek worked hard and diligently through this difficult process. I would highly recommend Mr Dee and his staff to any veteran in need of their experience, knowledge and dedication. It is difficult to put into words the gratitude I have for them. Thank you again Derek working with me.

I reached out to VA Disability Group after finding them online and reviewing their information that was posted. I chose them to represent me on my VA claims. I was getting nowhere and needed strong expertise to get my claims through the VA process successfully. My case was challenging and complicated. It required a very strong, knowledgeable and successful law firm to get me any through the VA process. It took some time because of how involved and complicated my claims cases were but VA Disability Group diligently worked my claims case and was successful on every level. I would highly recommend VA Disability Group to any veteran needing what I think is the absolute best representation regarding VA disability claims. They have the expertise to get it done and successfully.

I had no luck with VSO's due to the complexity of my claim. I gathered as much information as I could and Mr Dee helped me tell my story. You folks laughed at my terrible jokes and made me feel at home. You guys know your stuff.

I came to Spencer with my case when I was sitting at 90% and feeling stuck. From the start, he took the time to go through everything with me in detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. His knowledge of the process and ability to break it down step by step gave me a lot of confidence. Thanks to his work, I was able to move up to 100%, which has made a huge difference for me and my family. What stood out most was how straightforward and thorough he was—no wasted time, just clear guidance and results. If you’re a veteran trying to navigate the VA system, I’d highly recommend Spencer. He knows how to get things done and makes the process feel manageable.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
