More Than Just a Date: Why Our Team Fights for Veterans

This profound personal connection is the driving force behind our company's dedication. We see the sacrifices veterans have made, and we also see the immense challenges they face upon returning home—especially when navigating the complex system to get the benefits they earned.



That is precisely why the Best Virtual Paralegal team makes it a priority to help attorneys help vets. We provide the specialized support law firms need to effectively manage VA Disability Claims and Appeals, turning bureaucratic hurdles into successful outcomes for those who served.

The Battle After the Battle: Supporting Lawyers in the VA Claims Process

Attorneys who represent veterans face a monumental task. The VA system is a labyrinth of specific forms, strict deadlines, and high standards of evidence. A single missed deadline or a poorly compiled file can mean a veteran’s claim is denied, delaying critical support.

This is where our team steps in. We act as a force multiplier for attorneys, handling the detailed, time-consuming work that builds a winning claim. Our paralegals understand the unique demands of VA cases and provide targeted support.

Summarize Medical Records: Our team meticulously reviews and summarizes extensive medical histories, translating complex medical jargon into clear, concise evidence that directly supports the claim.

Analyze for Gaps: We analyze all documentation to identify missing information or gaps in evidence that could weaken a case.

Request Crucial Data: Best Virtual Paralegal actively helps lawyers request the specific documentation and data needed to substantiate a claim, from service records to private medical opinions.



Organize Evidence: Our team helps lawyers prepare and submit new, relevant evidence in the proper format, ensuring it meets the VA's stringent requirements.

Navigating the Three Paths of VA Appeals

When a veteran receives an unfavorable decision, the fight isn't over. However, navigating the appeals process requires precision. Our team supports attorneys by helping them understand and prepare the correct documentation for the three main appeal lanes, all of which have specific forms and timeframes.

1. Supplemental Claim (VA Form 20-0995): This is the path when you have new and relevant evidence to add to the case. Our paralegals help attorneys identify and organize this new evidence to directly address the reason for the initial denial.
2. Higher-Level Review (VA Form 20-0996): If you believe there was an error in the original decision and want the same evidence reviewed by a more senior specialist, this is the correct lane. We help ensure the file is complete and the argument for review is clear.
3. Board Appeal (VA Form 10182): This option allows you to appeal directly to a Veterans Law Judge at the Board of Veterans' Appeals. This is a formal legal process where our detailed file preparation becomes critical.

On Veterans Day, and every day, Best Virtual Paralegal honors the service of Holly's family and all veterans by doing what we do best: providing exceptional paralegal support. We empower attorneys to fight harder and smarter for their veteran clients, ensuring that their legacy of service is honored with the benefits they rightfully deserve.
