78 accredited attorneys, 5 claims agents and 40 VSO representatives are based in Maine.
Maine's 83 attorneys and agents work out to 7.77 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 4 of 52 states and territories.
Of Maine's 16 counties, 9 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (56.3 percent). County locations could not be matched for 2 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Maine are in South Portland (52), Portland (6), Bangor (5), Biddeford (2), and Falmouth (2).
Maine added 10 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Maine: 3.1 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Maine's VA regional office is in Togus.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Maine 7.77; New Hampshire 2.91. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 107,000 veterans live in Maine, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 34,310 veterans in Maine 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 410 people in Maine receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Maine address: 2,768 claims pending, 13.0 percent pending more than 125 days.

Togus regional office: 938 claims pending, 12.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 74.6 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.
