Claim this profile, free33 accredited attorneys, 2 claims agents and 121 VSO representatives are based in Oregon.
Oregon's 35 attorneys and agents work out to 1.32 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 47 of 52 states and territories.
Of Oregon's 36 counties, 11 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (30.6 percent). County locations could not be matched for 3 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Oregon are in Portland (12), Salem (8), Beaverton (3), Coos Bay (2), and Eugene (2).
Oregon added 2 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Oregon: 7.3 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Oregon's VA regional office is in Portland.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Oregon 1.32; California 3.16; Idaho 1.47; Nevada 2.35; Washington 2.06. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 266,000 veterans live in Oregon, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 86,068 veterans in Oregon 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 2,500 people in Oregon receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Oregon address: 7,791 claims pending, 13.3 percent pending more than 125 days.

Portland regional office: 1,338 claims pending, 13.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 75.2 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.
