Virginia's 219 attorneys and agents work out to 3.19 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 22 of 52 states and territories.
Of Virginia's 133 counties, 41 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (30.8 percent). County locations could not be matched for 11 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Virginia are in Arlington (41), Virginia Beach (21), Richmond (15), Norfolk (12), and Alexandria (10).
Virginia added 15 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Virginia: 5.3 years. Accreditation dates were unavailable or invalid for 2 people; 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.
Virginia's VA regional office is in Roanoke.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Virginia 3.19; District of Columbia 121.79; Kentucky 3.09; Maryland 3.14; North Carolina 3.88; Tennessee 3.04; West Virginia 2.34. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 686,000 veterans live in Virginia, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 275,063 veterans in Virginia 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 Virginia receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Virginia address: 24,357 claims pending, 11.3 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Virginia address, VA averaged 73.4 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Roanoke regional office: 9,226 claims pending, 11.5 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 69.5 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.
