VSO vs. lawyer: which do you need?
For initial claims and most reviews, a VSO does everything a paid representative does — for free. Veterans typically consider an accredited attorney in Rhode Island for complex appeals: Board hearings, federal court, effective-date disputes, or repeatedly denied claims where a percentage-of-back-pay fee can be worth it.
