# Veterans Law

Patrick Nolan is a U.S. Army combat veteran and a Missouri attorney accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which authorizes him to represent claimants in VA benefits matters once a claimant appoints him, ordinarily on VA Form 21-22a. The firm handles VA disability compensation, decision reviews and appeals under the Appeals Modernization Act, and needs-based pension with Aid and Attendance, and it coordinates those federal benefits with Missouri estate planning and MO HealthNet long-term-care rules. Consultations on VA benefits matters are free.

# Book a Consultation

Consultations on VA benefits matters are free. Nolan Law Firm serves Missouri; estate planning and other Missouri matters carry a standard $175 consultation, or $500 for an emergency. Federal law governs attorney fees in VA claims: no fee for services before VA's initial decision, and after that a written, VA-filed agreement, which for this firm uses the direct-pay contingent structure permitted by law, 20 percent of past-due benefits paid by VA (38 U.S.C. § 5904; 38 C.F.R. § 14.636).
