Claim this profile, free113 accredited attorneys, 19 claims agents and 293 VSO representatives are based in Tennessee.
Tennessee's 132 attorneys and agents work out to 3.04 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 27 of 52 states and territories.
Of Tennessee's 95 counties, 29 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (30.5 percent). County locations could not be matched for 17 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Tennessee are in Memphis (19), Nashville (17), Knoxville (14), Hendersonville (9), and Jackson (7).
Tennessee added 6 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Tennessee: 7.0 years.

Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Tennessee 3.04; Alabama 3.18; Arkansas 3.64; Georgia 4.15; Kentucky 3.09; Missouri 2.99; Mississippi 2.85; North Carolina 3.88; Virginia 3.19. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 435,000 veterans live in Tennessee, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 168,911 veterans in Tennessee 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 1,300 people in Tennessee receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Tennessee address: 17,886 claims pending, 10.3 percent pending more than 125 days.

Nashville regional office: 5,093 claims pending, 19.5 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 82.0 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.
