I can’t put into words how grateful I am for TLG. After battling the VA for years with all the proof needed a being denied disability each time I was on the verge of giving up. Tucker Law picked up my case an fought hard for me. They won my case a got me my rating(100% P&T). I wouldn’t have one if it wasn’t for them. I’ve recommended them to all my veteran friends with the same issue. Dan, Sarah, thank you guys for keeping me updated on my case an the responsiveness to my questions. Veterans struggling to get a rating, don’t give up, give Tucker Law Group a chance to fight for you.

Highly recommend, they took the time to speak with me and help me fill out the paperwork for my VA appeal. Helping me to be able to get it done. Their knowledge helped to see what others missed previously in regards to back injury and nerve pain. Definitely feel confident with them on my side.

Had an excellent experience with Tucker Disability Law Firm. The portal and ease of communication made dealing with my case stress free. They handled everything professionally and I will be recommending this Firm to some of my colleagues in the same position I was in with the VA. Highly recommended service with no hassle; they will produce results.

I have been very happy with Attorney Tucker and his team. I was referred to him by a relative of mine who works with him professionally, and told me that he is extremely knowledgeable, and that he is highly principled. She said that she goes to him when she has questions suitable to his legal specialty. Legal matters are intimidating and they take a VERY long time, and the Tucker team has supported and guided me throughout this challenging process. Attorney Tucker assigned a paralegal, Tyler, to my case. Tyler has been extremely kind, helpful, responsive, and thorough. He has the perfect calm and respectful demeanor. Of note, using a paralegal also helps keep costs down. Of course, any legal services will be expensive. There was also an option to pay on contingency of winning the case, which is helpful for those who cannot afford to pay for services. Either way, I am confident that the services and peace of mind are well worth it. I’m very thankful.

Within a few hours this law firm reached out to answer any questions that I had, they heard my issues and told me how they could help. Since then the process has been very easy on my end and they have been very responsive and started working immediately.

Wow! Amazing and Wonderful! Calming! Efficient and Effective! Sorry, but I don't get to use these words very often, but these are only the tip of the iceberg in telling you what it feels like to have Tucker Disability as your lawyer working for you! Disability is bad enough, but then trying to figure out the insurance industry when you already are below park well, that just impossible. Tucker worked hard, fast and consistently to help me with my Long Term Disability policy, and I can't be more grateful. I would NEVER have been able to get anything on my own. Trust me, if you have purchased and need your Long Term Disability policy, call Tucker Disability. You will never find all the terms and conditions and benefits and forms that you need to get your finances without Tucker!

The VA originally denied my claim for TDIU, so I hired Tucker Disability Law to represent me in my appeal. They were knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, informative, and won my case!! If you are a Veteran who is struggling with your disability and getting the benefits you deserve, please call Tucker Disability Law and give them the wheel. They will do the work and take care of you. They have many years of experience in this field. You will not be disappointed. My only regret is not calling them sooner and thinking I could do it on my own. Call them.

John Tucker and his staff were steadfast throughout a very long battle with the VA, and never wavered, even when chances for a payday for them looked slim, until the my claims were proven and I received full benefits. The attorney assigned to my case, Dan Clarke pursued the VA like a bulldog, picking apart the errors they had made over 11 years until a higher review board realized and acknowledged those errors and made the appropriate award. Tucker Law proved they are in it for the Veteran client and not personal gain. I will forever consider them to be "My Attorneys"

First, I have to explain how lucky I was to have accidentally come across TLG. I was dealing with the unfairness and unethical protocol with the Veterans Administration. Apologies for not remembering my 1st associate, but she kicked a**. The entire team went after the V.A. like pitbulls. Mr. Tucker actually phoned me on several occasions explaining that they were going to fight to the end, no matter the storm. I can only speak from my perspective as a veteran, and this is why I've told every veteran that has/is in my shoes to go with TLG.
