Proudly Representing Veterans in Malden and Beyond
Our skilled team serves clients in Malden, throughout Massachusetts, and nationwide. Our firm has a longstanding commitment to supporting veterans and prioritizing their well-being, doing whatever we can to make the process as stress-free and painless as possible.
We offer meetings in-office or remotely, whichever method is most accessible for you. We work with veterans of all ages and service eras, whether you’re filing a claim for the first time or seeking back benefits for decades of dealing with service-related injuries.
Serving the Veterans Who Served Us
In Massachusetts, 32 percent of military veterans aged 18 through 64 have service-related disabilities. Many are unfairly denied their benefits claims or given disability ratings that don’t reflect the extent of their injuries. We understand the difficulties our disabled vets face and care deeply about getting them the best possible care and benefits.
Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, a traumatic brain injury, an illness from toxic exposure to Agent Orange or burn pits, or a injury that limits your physical mobility, our Malden veterans disability attorneys can help you file an initial claim and navigate the complex appeals process, including representing you at Board of Veterans Appeals hearings.
Here are some kind testimonials submitted by clients we’ve helped:
Thank you, everyone, for the continued support!
As a military veteran, I have pursued a disability claim on my own and with multiple NSOs. While my disability was +50%, it was obvious to me a law firm was necessary to help navigate the appeal process and all the details involved with it. I was astounded at how knowledgeable the firm was about my particular case and how hard-working and persistent they are with the case. Since working with Rob Lavine Law, my disability rating has increased, and I am confident it will continue to climb. The attorney I work closest (Dvora) with is a great communicator, responsive, patient, and has superior listening skills.

Understanding VA Disability Benefits
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides disabled veterans with monthly compensation based on their assigned disability rating, which reflects the extent to which their conditions affect their ability to work.
To qualify for VA disability benefits, you must have a service-connected disabling condition and a discharge status other than dishonorable. However, proving that your disability is connected to your service can be complex, especially for conditions that can’t be tied to a specific incident through documentation. Insufficient evidence can lead to unfair denials or undercompensation.
Our Malden veterans disability lawyers can help you find the evidence and records you need to establish a service connection, ensure you have all your documents and paperwork in order, and get the full benefits you deserve.
Why Work With a Veterans Disability Lawyer?
A knowledgeable Malden veterans disability attorney can greatly improve your chances of getting your benefits claim approved, especially after receiving a denial. Your lawyer can help manage paperwork, gather evidence, prepare for deadlines, and manage appeals.
When seeking much-needed benefits, dealing with unfair delays or denials, confusing language, and complicated documentation issues can be incredibly frustrating. Getting the legal support you need can make the process easier and less stressful, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a professional on your side.

What to Expect From the VA Claims and Appeals Process
After your free case evaluation, your Malden veterans disability lawyer will get to work on your initial filing. They will start by gathering evidence, including any medical or service records you’ll need to file a strong claim.
Once we file, you may encounter some setbacks along the way. If the VA decides to reject your claim or assigns you an inadequate disability rating, we’ll help you file a Notice of Disagreement and navigate the appeals process.
There are three types of appeals: filing a supplemental claim, requesting a higher-level review, or seeking a hearing with the Board of Veterans Appeals. Your attorney will work to determine which choice is best for your claim and explore every possible angle to get you the results you deserve.
