Questions about VA-accredited representatives in the Chicago area

How much does a VA disability lawyer cost in Chicago?

The same federal VA rules apply everywhere. A representative can generally charge only after VA decides your claim, and VA presumes a fee of 20 percent of past-due benefits or less is reasonable.

Do I need a lawyer based in Chicago?

No. VA accreditation is national and Board hearings are mostly virtual. If you prefer to meet in person, 182 representatives are based in the Chicago area.

Where can I find free VA claim help in Chicago?

County veterans service officers help for free. Start with the Illinois VSO directory.

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.

Claim Raven is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We do not recommend or endorse any attorney or claims agent. Listings come from VA's public accreditation records. Paid placements are advertising. Check an attorney's accreditation on VA's accreditation search before you hire them.

VA accreditation allows a person to represent claimants before VA. It is not a recommendation. Attorneys are lawyers; claims agents are accredited non-attorneys. A VSO can provide free claims help. Confirm current accreditation in VA's official search.

Report a listing correction

Roster facts come from VA. Send the VA accreditation number and correction to support. Do not send claim records or medical information.
