181 accredited attorneys, 8 claims agents and 405 VSO representatives are based in Ohio.
Ohio's 189 attorneys and agents work out to 2.82 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 33 of 52 states and territories.
Of Ohio's 88 counties, 32 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (36.4 percent). County locations could not be matched for 5 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Ohio are in Columbus (24), Dayton (18), Cleveland (16), Cincinnati (15), and Dublin (6).
Ohio added 22 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Ohio: 8.7 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.
Ohio's VA regional office is in Cleveland.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Ohio 2.82; Indiana 3.69; Kentucky 3.09; Michigan 4.08; Pennsylvania 4.05; West Virginia 2.34. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 669,000 veterans live in Ohio, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 191,332 veterans in Ohio 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 1,000 people in Ohio receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Ohio address: 19,868 claims pending, 10.4 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Ohio address, VA averaged 78.1 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Cleveland regional office: 3,997 claims pending, 13.3 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 73.4 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.
