101 accredited attorneys, 12 claims agents and 94 VSO representatives are based in Maryland.
Maryland's 113 attorneys and agents work out to 3.14 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 25 of 52 states and territories.
Of Maryland's 24 counties, 14 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (58.3 percent). County locations could not be matched for 4 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Maryland are in Baltimore (20), Columbia (7), Rockville (7), Bethesda (6), and Annapolis (4).
Maryland added 15 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Maryland: 5.8 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Maryland's VA regional office is in Baltimore.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Maryland 3.14; District of Columbia 121.79; Delaware 4.73; Pennsylvania 4.05; Virginia 3.19; West Virginia 2.34. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 360,000 veterans live in Maryland, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 121,252 veterans in Maryland 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 1,100 people in Maryland receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Maryland address: 12,436 claims pending, 11.1 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Maryland address, VA averaged 72.4 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Baltimore regional office: 3,687 claims pending, 10.6 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 68.5 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.

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.
