What Is Veterans Law?
If you are considering a career in the legal field but are not sure which area of law to pursue, the numerous possibilities can be overwhelming. One essential, although perhaps lesser-known practice area is Veterans Law.
Veterans Law is an area of law dedicated to advocating for legal and policy changes that will better serve the veteran population. It also encompasses representing disabled veterans in pursuit of earned VA disability benefits before the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the federal courts.
What Does the Veterans Law Firm of Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD Do?
The law firm of Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD (CCK) is a private firm in the public interest sector that helps veterans navigate the claims and appeals process for VA disability compensation.
In general, private public interest law firms will have a particular vision, such as helping underrepresented groups and/or promoting social, economic, or political change. Private public interest firms in the field of Veterans Law, such as CCK, often aim to improve the lives of their veteran clients and families, as well as veterans in general.
Why Is Veterans Advocacy Important?
Receiving a grant of VA benefits can be life-changing for veterans, who often struggle for years without assistance or support, and their families, to secure rightfully owed compensation for their service-related injuries. VA’s appeals system can be challenging, so having a team of knowledgeable advocates on the veteran’s side can make all the difference.
