In 2003, after 28 years with the
VA, Mr. Leonard left his government position and went into
private practice to assist veterans and their families with
their VA claims. It goes without saying that Mike’s long
experience with VA and in private practice have taught him many
valuable lessons about the claims and appeals process. While he
cannot guarantee success, he can assist claimants in getting the
benefits they seek, and in getting them quickly.
Mr. Leonard is a member of the
bars of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. He also serves on
the Board of Directors of the National Organization of Veterans’
Advocates. Mike’s practice is exclusively devoted to
representing veterans and their families. He does not practice
law in the North Carolina state courts and is not a member of
that bar.
The VA appeals process can be very
long and frustrating. Mr. Leonard places high importance in
moving claims quickly and avoiding unnecessary delay, so that
claimants can receive the greatest benefit promptly. Mike knows
the system from top to bottom and zealously represents the
interests of veterans and their survivors before the Courts and
the VA.
If your claim has been denied by
the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) or is currently pending
before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, call Mike toll
free at 877-657-5803 to discuss your case with him at no
charge. Even if you are unsure you want to be represented at
this time, you may still call him toll free (or contact him by
e-mail) to discuss your case. The call will cost you nothing,
and the consultation is free. If you have received an
unfavorable BVA decision and have not yet hired a lawyer, but
are looking for an attorney who knows the system well and will
work to get your benefits quickly, give Mike a call.
