Claims with a Wyoming address: 1,568 claims pending, 14.2 percent pending more than 125 days.

For claims with a Wyoming address, VA averaged 88.2 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.

Cheyenne regional office: 303 claims pending, 11.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 64.8 days pending.

Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.

How this directory works

Every active VA-accredited attorney and claims agent is listed for free. Attorneys can claim their listing to add their firm, website and details. Premier and Featured are paid spots above the free listings, labeled "Paid placement." When Featured spots are not sold, they rotate daily among listed attorneys at no cost, labeled "Free rotating spot." Payment never changes the order of the free listings below them.

Claim Raven is not a law firm. No legal advice or endorsements. VA roster listings; paid placements are advertising. Check VA accreditation.
