58 accredited attorneys, 9 claims agents and 66 VSO representatives are based in Kansas.
Kansas's 67 attorneys and agents work out to 3.70 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 19 of 52 states and territories.
Of Kansas's 105 counties, 10 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (9.5 percent). County locations could not be matched for 17 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Kansas are in Topeka (22), Lawrence (18), Overland Park (7), Wichita (4), and Gardner (2).
Kansas added 9 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Kansas: 5.8 years. Accreditation dates were unavailable or invalid for 1 person; 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.
Kansas's VA regional office is in Wichita.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Kansas 3.70; Colorado 2.23; Missouri 2.99; Nebraska 8.30; Oklahoma 2.23. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 181,000 veterans live in Kansas, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 54,648 veterans in Kansas 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 820 people in Kansas receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Kansas address: 5,864 claims pending, 11.9 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Kansas address, VA averaged 75.4 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Wichita regional office: 1,579 claims pending, 11.6 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 69.2 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.
