Our Offices

Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD (CCK Law) is a rapidly growing national law firm that currently has four office locations: Providence, Rhode Island (the firm’s headquarters); Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; and San Antonio, Texas. Our locations are highly valued as bases for supporting the local communities and learning more about the people whom we serve.

CCK Law serves clients in all 50 states. CCK Law’s practice areas — veterans law, ERISA and long-term disability, and bequest management — do not require face-to-face communication. Representation is handled by phone and other forms of communication.

What Services Are Available at CCK Law’s Offices?

Every CCK Law office supports the firm’s core practice areas: veterans disability benefits, VA appeals, and long-term disability and ERISA claims. Veterans law matters make up the majority of the firm’s work.

• Veterans Disability Benefits and Appeals — help pursuing VA disability compensation and related benefits, including appeals to VA and federal court: Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Review, Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) appeals, and appeals to CAVC.
• Bequest Management — helping organizations honor donors’ wishes, accelerate gift distribution, and maximize the impact of bequests.
• Long-Term Disability Claims — assisting with denied or terminated long-term disability insurance benefits.
• ERISA Litigation — litigating employer-sponsored disability insurance plans.

Do I Need To Live Near a CCK Law Office?

No. Clients do not need to live near a CCK Law office to work with the firm.

VA disability claims and appeals follow the same federal laws and procedures in every state, so CCK Law can represent veterans anywhere in the country. Most communication happens by phone, video, email, and mail. Most VA appeals do not require an in-person meeting, and BVA hearings can be held by videoconference. CCK Law maintains regional offices primarily to understand local needs and to support veterans in the communities around each office.

ERISA and long-term disability law, as well as bequest management, are also national practice areas.

What Areas Does Each CCK Law Office Serve?

While the firm as a whole serves veterans in all 50 states, each CCK Law office provides opportunities for learning and more community engagement in nearby states and metropolitan areas.

• Experience against major insurers. The firm has litigated wrongfully denied claims against some of the largest insurance companies and corporations in the nation.

How Is CCK Law Involved in Local Communities?

At CCK Law, our commitment to veterans reaches beyond the cases we handle. Through our community engagement program, we work alongside veteran-serving organizations in the places we call home, including metro Atlanta and greater Georgia, Houston, and San Antonio. Our goal is to show up for veterans and their families where they live, gather, and seek support.

Georgia

Much of our work centers on education. Our team regularly leads VA disability benefits and appeals presentations for veterans, caregivers, and the organizations that serve them, helping people understand their rights and navigate a complicated claims process. We share this knowledge freely, both in person and through the free resources CCK Law publishes online, because veterans who understand the process are better equipped to pursue the benefits they earned.

We also invest directly in the community. CCK Law has sponsored and volunteered at Habitat for Humanity veteran home builds, supported monthly grocery distributions for veterans facing food insecurity through Soldiers’ Angels, and taken part in large veteran resource events such as United Military Care’s We CARE Vet Fair. We work with organizations including The Warrior Alliance, VETLANTA, Gateway Center, and NextOp, and we collaborate with universities such as Georgia State and Kennesaw State to support military-connected students.

Rhode Island

In Providence, CCK Law and Roger Williams University School of Law launched the Veterans Disability Appeals Field Clinic at the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. The firm also partners with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the Harvard Law School Veterans Legal Clinic and CCK Law attorneys regularly present at continuing legal education programs and serve in leadership roles in the legal community.

Texas

From the San Antonio office, CCK Law hosts free live webinars that help Texas veterans understand VA claims, appeals, and commonly overlooked benefits such as Aid & Attendance and total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU). The firm has offered sessions in both English and Spanish, each with live question-and-answer time.

CCK is proud to play a part in leading the Texas legal community. Bradley W. Hennings and Christine Clemens are leaders in the Texas military and veterans bar. Brad serves as Chair of the State Bar of Texas Military and Veterans Law Section for the 2026–2027 Bar Year, with Christine as Vice-Chair, and both are active in the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

What Do CCK Law Clients Say?

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

If the VA has denied your claim, don’t give up until you have spoken with Chisholm, Chisholm and Kilpatrick. After well over 2 years of unsuccessful attempts on my part, including having an appeal denied, this firm went to bat for me. And within 6 months, I began receiving monthly benefits as well as retroactive compensation. Thank you, CC&K!

Dorthy S.

As a veteran I am glad Chisholm Chisholm and Kilpatrick is on my side. My life is better and I have them to thank. Thank you again.

Marcus T.
