The challenges that come with practicing law only continue to grow. From exploring expert costs to an increase in paperwork and time commitments, taking on cases outside of your comfort zone can be a challenge. This is especially true in the area of veteran’s disability benefits, which are known for complicated disputes and extensive delays.
In recent years, our firm has received numerous referrals for serious veteran’s disability cases throughout the country. Appealing unreasonable awards and wrongful denials is a big undertaking, and we have the staff and resources to take on these cases and win. If you are interested in partnering with a VA compensation lawyer or discussing potential referral fees, Gang & Associates is ready to talk about it.
Understanding our Streamlined Claims Process
We have a standardized process for reviewing claim files and deciding whether we are available to accept a referral. We know these matters are time-sensitive, and we will move quickly to review all of the details and make a final determination.
The process starts with a phone call. Once you have all of the necessary documentation available, reach out to us and schedule a call with one of our lawyers. During that call, our attorney will be able to provide some initial feedback on whether Gang & Associates will be able to help. If it appears like we can, they will schedule a second call for our attorney to speak with you and/or your client.
We will next obtain the necessary authorizations and signatures to get the claim file. This can take months, so it is important to keep that in mind when considering a referral. Finally, we will review the file and give you a final answer on whether or not we can help.
What We Need to Fast Track a Referral Case
In order to make a decision on whether or not we can take a case, we will need information from you. We carefully review every claim file before agreeing to accept a referral, so getting this information in a timely manner is crucial. We will need:
- The Rating Decision. First and foremost, we need a copy of the Rating Decision that denied the original claim. Alternatively, you can provide a copy of the Board decision or Statement of the Case.
- Client’s Employment Status. We will also need a general description of your client’s employment status as well as their combined rating. This is important, as we prioritize claims from veterans who are unable to work.
- Contact Information. Finally, we will need contact information from both you and the client. This is necessary in case we require additional documentation or details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Geographical Locations Do You Serve?
Gang & Associates is a national law firm focused on supporting veterans wherever they live. We have handled cases throughout the country, including California and Texas, but we also take on clients outside of the territorial United States as well. This includes prior work with veterans living in Europe, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic. Our attorneys are focused on understanding local benefits and resources available to veterans while answering questions regarding the court system when needed.
Do You Hand Off Cases to Paralegals or Support Staff?
No. Every case in our office is directly managed by a skilled VA compensation lawyer. We understand the growing trend of large law firms shifting work to non-attorneys to save money, but that goes against our ultimate purpose: to serve veterans when they need our help.
What Cases Will You Take?
Because of the volume of inquiries we get, we are not able to take every case. At Gang & Associates, we prioritize veterans who cannot work due to their disabilities. These veterans are usually in the most difficult position, and a successful claim will often mean the most to them.
We are also careful about the number of cases we take. An attorney handles each one, and we never take on clients if it will spread us too thin. Every veteran deserves to get the attention they deserve during this process.
We are also focused on cases we think we can win. Some claims are without merit or unlikely to succeed, so we focus our energy on the cases where we are more likely to get results for our clients.
Do You Pay Referral Fees?
We pay retainer fees based on the nature of the case. Our firm makes that determination after we have reviewed the claims file and determined whether or not we can help. If we are able to take on the case, we will provide a retainer agreement that spells out the percentage of the fee for your referral.
