Claim this profile, free672 accredited attorneys, 101 claims agents and 599 VSO representatives are based in Florida.
Florida's 773 attorneys and agents work out to 5.47 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 9 of 52 states and territories.
Of Florida's 67 counties, 44 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (65.7 percent). County locations could not be matched for 70 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Florida are in Tampa (58), Orlando (53), Miami (48), Jacksonville (37), and St. Petersburg (33).
Florida added 96 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Florida: 5.1 years. Accreditation dates were unavailable or invalid for 5 people; those records are left out of these time calculations.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Florida's VA regional office is in St. Petersburg.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Florida 5.47; Alabama 3.18; Georgia 4.15. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 1.41 million veterans live in Florida, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 538,014 veterans in Florida 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 700 people in Florida receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Florida address: 63,653 claims pending, 10.6 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Florida address, VA averaged 74.1 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
St. Petersburg regional office: 11,590 claims pending, 12.1 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 70.3 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.
