I am totally satisfied with the assistance I received from Hill & Ponton. I tried for to get my much needed 100% permanent disability from the VA as early as 2012 with no results. I fractured my cervical spine (C7) in a car accident while on active duty and only received 40% in 2008. My body deteriorated with urology issues which caused me to use a catheter to void my urine, spondylosis in my lower back, radiculopathy in my legs from nerve damage to C7 spine, I developed Sleep Apnea and Depression, and with all that I couldn’t get past 80%.

I called Hill & Ponton while on my last leg, worn out from trying to get the VA to see how I couldn’t work and I thought I had to try one last measure. They reviewed my case and got back with me shortly to say they would take up my case and go to work for me. I didn’t really know what to expect but Hill & Ponton kept me up to date on the letters and actions they submitted to the VA on my behalf. I finally got good news in November 2021 that I was approved for 100% Permanent and Total Disability. I was relieved and so appreciative to the entire Hill & Ponton staff who knew what to do and who kept fighting for me after continued C & P evaluations and filing letters on my behalf.

It was less than 6 months that they got it done for me, so I really want to thank Mrs. Sara Hill and her team, Melanie, Dee, Danielle, and all the staff that kept contacting me and keeping me hopeful during this process. It’s sad that when you have a legitimate claim the VA still fights you, but it’s good to know that there are lawyers like the Hill & Ponton Law Office out there to support us. This is just a little thank you for what you have done for me and I really can’t put it in words how I’m feeling about the assistance I received.

    Thank you to the firm of Hill & Ponton!! Brian Hill and his staff were able to get my 100% disability with the VA for my exposure to herbicides in Thailand. I have been fighting for this for many years and kept getting denied, after consulting with Hill & Ponton I decided to let them help me and it was the best decision I could have made. I found their professionalism to be outstanding.

    They got my disability rating after I was denied twice. They knew exactly how to format and submit the claim. I was rated 50%, Hill & Ponton weren’t done, they found other medical that related to exposure and submitted additional claims. I could not have received a disability rating without Hill & Ponton. If you need help, choose Hill & Ponton.

    As a Vet you may have filed a disability claim, and if you want to win your claim you need to call Hill and Ponton. I didn’t know what to do about my condition or status until I made the call. At H&P they not only took my case, but made me feel like family. They changed my life and they will change your life too. It’s true! In my opinion you can’t do better and you won’t regret it!
