The accredited attorneys in New Jersey with phone numbers and OGC registration numbers you can verify — plus what to check before signing a fee agreement.
Before you hire anyone in New Jersey
- Verify accreditation. Search the name or registration number on VA's official accreditation search. Unaccredited "claims consultants" charging for help are operating outside the law.
- Initial claims are usually free. Accredited representatives generally may only charge for work after VA issues an initial decision. For a first claim, a VSO in New Jersey will file for free.
- Get the fee agreement in writing. Typical fees are a percentage of back pay; VA presumes 20% or less reasonable and more than one-third unreasonable (38 C.F.R. § 14.636).
- Ask about VA claims experience specifically — Board appeals, higher-level reviews, and effective-date disputes are their own specialty.
