North Carolina's 267 attorneys and agents work out to 3.88 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 18 of 52 states and territories.
Of North Carolina's 100 counties, 43 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (43.0 percent). County locations could not be matched for 36 people on the roster.
The largest groups in North Carolina are in Charlotte (52), Raleigh (35), Greensboro (23), Durham (20), and Asheville (9).
North Carolina added 23 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in North Carolina: 6.1 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.
North Carolina's VA regional office is in Winston-Salem.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: North Carolina 3.88; Georgia 4.15; South Carolina 3.02; Tennessee 3.04; Virginia 3.19. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 689,000 veterans live in North Carolina, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 286,763 veterans in North Carolina 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 North Carolina receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a North Carolina address: 28,952 claims pending, 9.8 percent pending more than 125 days.

Winston-Salem regional office: 9,364 claims pending, 13.3 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 72.6 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.
