Claim this profile, free93 accredited attorneys, 11 claims agents and 115 VSO representatives are based in Louisiana.
Louisiana's 104 attorneys and agents work out to 4.04 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 16 of 52 states and territories.
Of Louisiana's 64 counties, 20 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (31.3 percent). County locations could not be matched for 10 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Louisiana are in New Orleans (29), Baton Rouge (17), Metairie (9), Shreveport (9), and Mandeville (5).
Louisiana added 19 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Louisiana: 3.5 years.

Louisiana's VA regional office is in New Orleans.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Louisiana 4.04; Arkansas 3.64; Mississippi 2.85; Texas 2.98. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 257,000 veterans live in Louisiana, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 87,698 veterans in Louisiana 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 840 people in Louisiana receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Louisiana address: 12,245 claims pending, 10.2 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Louisiana address, VA averaged 74.4 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
New Orleans regional office: 2,463 claims pending, 11.8 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 71.0 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.
