Of New York's 62 counties, 26 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (41.9 percent). County locations could not be matched for 38 people on the roster.
The largest groups in New York are in New York (279), Buffalo (16), Brooklyn (11), Amherst (10), and Syracuse (7).
New York added 57 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in New York: 3.8 years.

About 662,000 veterans live in New York, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 155,261 veterans in New York 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 330 people in New York receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
