CCK Law’s Zachary Stolz Appears on Fox Business
CCK Law: Our Vital Role in Veterans Law
At the end of 2025, Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick (CCK Law) partner Zachary Stolz appeared on Fox Business to talk about something that impacts millions of veterans: getting the VA disability benefits that they’ve earned.
Veterans pursuing VA disability benefits often face a complex process that can involve extensive documentation, multiple steps, and long waiting times. For veterans who run into challenges along the way, experienced legal advocacy may be the only way to finally get the benefits that this country has established for them.
Listen to Stolz’s remarks:
Takeaways for Veterans
During the segment, Fox Business highlighted CCK Law’s long track record of representing veterans at the highest levels, including in federal court.
One of the biggest takeaways was this: when a case leads to a precedential decision, it helps far more than just one veteran. The rulings in CCK Law’s cases set standards that clarify how VA must apply the law, which restores accessibility to benefits, leads to more consistent decisions, and removes roadblocks for millions of other veterans across the country.
CCK Law has currently secured well over 100 of the most precedent-setting decisions in veterans law. These decisions have:
- Made VA benefits more accessible for military sexual assault victims
- Streamlined and defined the rating criteria for many types of claims, such as joint and pain disabilities
- Clarified VA’s legal duty to assist veterans in identifying and collecting relevant evidence
- Better defined the individual unemployability (TDIU) benefit, which provides crucial support for veterans unable to work
- And much more.
Closing Thought
Veterans’ benefits are a highly complex and involved field, administered by one of the largest bureaucracies in the world, which leads to inconsistency, injustice, and frustration for veterans who have been wounded in service to America. This is why the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims was established, empowering veterans to hire VA-accredited attorneys to take VA’s decisions to court and hold the agency accountable for applying the benefits created by law. Zachary Stolz’s appearance on Fox Business showcased how CCK Law plays a vital leadership role in strengthening the VA benefits process and fighting not just for its clients, but potentially millions of other veterans.
