103 accredited attorneys, 6 claims agents and 126 VSO representatives are based in Alabama.
Alabama's 109 attorneys and agents work out to 3.18 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 23 of 52 states and territories.
Of Alabama's 67 counties, 22 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (32.8 percent). County locations could not be matched for 18 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Alabama are in Birmingham (28), Mobile (13), Montgomery (13), Huntsville (6), and Tuscaloosa (3).
Alabama added 11 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Alabama: 5.6 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Alabama's VA regional office is in Montgomery.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Alabama 3.18; Florida 5.47; Georgia 4.15; Mississippi 2.85; Tennessee 3.04. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 343,000 veterans live in Alabama, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 141,973 veterans in Alabama received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 1,300 people in Alabama receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Alabama address: 15,317 claims pending, 10.7 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Alabama address, VA averaged 74.7 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Montgomery regional office: 3,527 claims pending, 11.8 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 69.9 days pending.
VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.
Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.
