Where do I begin since I've been with Savannah and Dawson I have really realized that my VA case could be settled in my favor. They were patient with me when I would get a little frustrated and they were able to explain things in a way that I understood. I cannot say enough good things about them, they have really taken me from point A to point B and now my case has been solved and I'm so grateful. I would and will recommend them to anyone. I have to add more the hits just keep coming!! Savannah and Dawson have been heaven sent.💯💯❤️💗🙏🏿

I could have pursued bodily injury damages alone from the motorcycle accident, but I'm so glad I didn't. Don Marcari was easy to work with, and both he and his team had my back through the entire process. Additionally, they communicated often with me to keep me posted on progress. Don knows BI law, and he put the other party's insurance company in check. Trust me, you will want Don in your corner if you or a loved ever find yourself in need of a bodily injury attorney. I am incredibly appreciative of Don Marcari and his entire team at MRSB!

This has been an amazing experience. They were able to get me from 90% (where I was stagnated at for several years) to 100% P&T with the VA. I can not say enough about the whole MRSB team. Heather is amazing at her job and is great at communicating with her clients. Again awesome experience. Myself and my family can't thank you enough.

In January 2022 my husband was in a head on collision in NC. We had no clue how to handle the legal end of this wreck when a good friend of ours suggested this law firm. I contacted them and they immediately sent a representative out to our home. David Spencer got the ball rolling kept us abreast of the procedures that was going on. His secretary Mrs. Cathy out of the Fayetteville office was always a phone call away. She answered any and all of my questions very professionally. Cathy was on top of my husbands case just as if it was her own. We are very pleased with this law firm and would not hesitate yo use them again. Mr Spencer and Mrs. Cathy {in the Fayetteville office} treated us as if we were their only clients! Thank you both for a job well done! Ed and Carolyn Croxton

I was nearing the end of my rope of trying to get what I'm entitled to as a burn pit victim. However, literally, one really last minute simple engine search brought me to these fantastic veteran advocates! I was stuck at 90% disabled for close to 3 years but in 5 maybe 6 short months, I'm now at 100% with close to 20 months of back pay. Thank God for these truly honest people fighting for the little guy!!

I was initially denied for my VA disability claim, but with the help of Savannah Gay and Dawson Rouse, they were able to get my claim approved with back pay going back several years. Savannah was very communicative throughout the process, updating me on my case and assisting when needed. I would recommend them for any VA disability claim issues, as they were accommodating in ensuring my case was addressed.

After years of being denied benefits from the VA, I decided to research attorneys for Veterans and came across this law firm. After reaching out to them, they understood my issues my needs and my concerns, told me they could definitely help me. They were very responsive answered all my questions and were very professional. Actually flew out to my state for my intake papers on my time, explained to me in detail what was going to happen, how long it was going to take and would reach out to me with any questions concerns or even just to wish me a happy birthday. These people are great once again very professional compassionate and knowledgeable with procedures on getting what every disabled Veteran is entitled to and that's compensation for their service connected disability. I have referred my friends and family members to them and refer them to anyone who is reading this review, you won't be sorry you selected them to represent you. I am extremely happy with them. Thank you Mr. Ryan Spencer and Kristen Swinson for everything you did for me.

This law firm is awesome. Knowledgeable, responsive, dedicated and professional. They were there for my husband, Kenneth Curtis, for many years as he fought for VA benefits. Although he did not live long enough to benefit from the successful outcome, our family appreciates the amazing work that was done on his behalf and for our family. A special thanks goes to Kristen Swinson and Ryan Spencer. You are the best. I highly recommend this firm.

I am writing this review on behalf of my late husband, Michael Douglas. This firm stood by him and supported him for three years while he petitioned the VA for a benefits claim. Amanda was there for him whenever he needed her. Thanks to them, his claim was settled two months before he died. He was so happy and relieved. He died at peace knowing everything would be taken care of. Thank you for all you do for so many.

My husband & I highly recommend this law firm to any Veteran trying to navigate the endless red tape of the VA. We turned to Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban to handle my husband's appeal and could not have been happier. We enjoyed open and consistent communication regarding our case. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Amanda Medina-Morales was our point of contact and she kept us up to date on the progress of our case. It was a pleasure and relief knowing that someone truly competent and professional was handling this and fighting for us.

I could not have chosen a better law firm to represent me in my claim for benefits. My Attorney, Ryan Spencer and his Paralegal, Kristen Swinson have been wonderful in keeping an open line of communication between them and me. They have kept up with deadlines and paperwork so I don't have to. The professionalism and knowledge of Veterans claims filing is beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend this law firm to any Veteran who needs help in getting the disability benefits they deserve.

I live in the Northeast. I had a complicated claim and because I already have a high rating, no one near me wanted to take my case. I contacted this firm and they gladly accepted my business. I worked closely with attorney Ryan Spencer and paralegal Kristen Swinson. Attorney Spencer flew up to my location in the Northeast to attend a video conference hearing for my appeal with a judge from Washington, D.C. Throughout the entire process, these folks were extremely helpful. Several months ago, my appeal was granted after a lengthy wait. I am quite confident that I would not have won my appeal without their assistance. They helped me obtain all the necessary paperwork and a nexus letter which helped me win my case. I cannot recommend them enough, even if you're not from the geographical area in which they practice. 5 stars all day long!

Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, & Balaban are the best Veterans lawyers in town. Through vigorous representation, I was awarded my Veterans compensation benefits for sleep apnea. All Veterans know this is a herculean feat to accomplish, especially after being denied previously in several occasions. My attorney was deliberate, and absolutely committed to achieving success. 100% I highly recommend Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, and Balaban to any Veteran needing assistance in receiving military compensation benefits I assure you, you will have no regrets.

I have to say, I was lost in the VA system trying to get them to acknowledge my claim. Then I heard about Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, and Balaban. They took up my case and worked and got the VA's attention, everything I had hoped to do myself, they got the right paperwork going in the right direction. The VA awarded me a rating and they did everything they were supposed to do, that I could not do myself. I can't say how grateful I am, I would advise any Veteran trying to do the paperwork, to let Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban do it. It was painless for me, I don't think that I would have ever gotten everything right, they have my thanks.

I am a Veteran and I have been fighting the VA for years trying to get the disability compensation I should have received for my injuries while on active duty. I was getting no ware and I saw the commercial for Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, and Balaban. I contacted their offices and was given a case handler who did all the work and now I am receiving the full benefits and compensation for life. They are the best! I just got my 100% rating because I used this firm! Love them! Do yourself a favor and call!

I would like to thank the law firm of Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban P. C. especially Amanda Medina-Morales for their dedication and diligence in the handling of my claim against the VA. Job well done. More specifically I am grateful that they took a personal interest in my claim. Ms Morales kept in contact with me at least once a month to keep updated on the developments or set-backs regarding my claim. Though it took four years they never gave up. Thank you for your dedication and making me feel as though i was one of your most important clients even though I wasn't. If you were considering whether or not to hire this firm to handle your case, my advise is this do not hesitate turn your case over to them. Again many thanks to this law firm and especially Ms. Morales who is a valued asset.

The V.A. claims process is not an easy one to maneuver through. Several people told me that I was making a mistake by getting a lawyer to help with my claim. The firm did all the work for me and keep me up to date on the status of my claim. I am not sure I would have received the out come that I did had it not been for my legal representation. I am most grateful for Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban and send them best wishes for the future. I would recommend this firm to my fellow Veterans who are having problems with VA claims.

This law firm helped me get the VA to classify my husband as 100% disabled from an injury he suffered while in the Navy which later gave rise to Parkinson's. They're very good.

Thank to Mr. Spencer I was able to get my VA disability claim re-reviewed and given another chance to receive disability. By far he is one of the most professional lawyers I have ever dealt with. So Veterans if you are looking for help with your VA disability claim I would suggest that you hire Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, & Balaban. Thanks again for everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost To Hire You?

It does not cost you anything to hire our Veterans Benefits Law Firm as your attorneys. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win you an award. Our firm charges 20%, which is deducted by the VA from your lump sum payment for retroactive benefits.

How Long Will It Take To Appeal My Benefits Denial?

While it can take six months or more for a Veteran to receive a decision on his or her initial benefits claim from the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeals could take 2 years of more. The Department of Veterans Affairs lacks the funding to properly staff and process benefits applications. The number of applications from recently returning Veterans must be dealt with while the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to actively work towards providing services to prior generations of Veterans.

How Do I Increase My Disability Rating?

Great question! If the condition that you are actively receiving disability benefits for has now ultimately worsened over time, you can file an increased rating claim. It’s fairly simple, and it involves filing out an online claim form or mailing a letter to your regional office documenting the change in your condition.
