Accredited help in Georgia at a glance

222 accredited attorneys, 53 claims agents and 165 VSO representatives are based in Georgia.

Georgia's 275 attorneys and agents work out to 4.15 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 13 of 52 states and territories.

Of Georgia's 159 counties, 44 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (27.7 percent). County locations could not be matched for 23 people on the roster.

The largest groups in Georgia are in Atlanta (77), Athens (11), Augusta (10), Macon (9), and Marietta (9).

Georgia added 30 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Georgia: 7.0 years.

115 counties with no attorney or claims agent located by ZIP

In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.

Georgia's VA regional office is in Atlanta.

Neighboring states

Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Georgia 4.15; Alabama 3.18; Florida 5.47; North Carolina 3.88; South Carolina 3.02; Tennessee 3.04. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.

Veterans and benefits in Georgia

About 662,000 veterans live in Georgia, using VA's rounded population projection.

At least 273,766 veterans in Georgia 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.

50 to 60 percent10.6 percent11.5 percent
70 to 90 percent30.9 percent29.5 percent
100 percent34.1 percent29.2 percent

That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 1,000 people in Georgia receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.

Where Georgia claims are worked

Workload report dated 2026-09-19.

Claims with a Georgia address: 31,264 claims pending, 10.5 percent pending more than 125 days.

For claims with a Georgia address, VA averaged 71.5 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.

Atlanta regional office: 7,675 claims pending, 11.4 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 69.5 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.

What decides Board appeals

Claim Raven's national analysis covers 101,518 condition decisions in 49,876 appeals: 29.5 percent granted, 40.8 percent denied, and 26.6 percent remanded. These are appealed cases, not initial VA claims.

Where the Board rated the medical link, grant shares were 89.7 percent when strong, 3.7 percent when weak, and 1.6 percent when missing. Grant shares were 16.7 percent with one kind of evidence and 56.9 percent with six or more kinds of evidence, among the 80,128 condition decisions where evidence types were identified.

How this directory works

Every active VA-accredited attorney and claims agent is listed for free. Attorneys can claim their listing to add their firm, website and details. Premier and Featured are paid spots above the free listings, labeled "Paid placement." When Featured spots are not sold, they rotate daily among listed attorneys at no cost, labeled "Free rotating spot." Payment never changes the order of the free listings below them.
