Veterans Holding the VA
Accountable

The VA denied your claim. Your rating does not reflect what your service actually cost you. You have one year from your decision letter to fight back without losing your rights. We are veterans who became attorneys because we lived through exactly this, and we are ready to fight for you.

We Know What It Feels Like to Be Denied

We filed our own claims. We received the denials. We saw firsthand how the VA’s process fails veterans who deserve better, and we realized that what was happening to us was happening to thousands of others who had no one in their corner.

That is why we built this firm. Not as a business, but as a continuation of service. We are veterans who became attorneys so we could do for our brothers and sisters what the system would not.

Every case we take is built on the history of that veteran’s service, when they served, where they served, what they were exposed to, and what it cost them. That history is what the VA ignores. It is what we fight to put on the record.

LET'S TALK

Representing veterans and their families in all 50 States.

We've Been There.
That Is Why We Are Here.

We've Been There, That's Why Our Team is Here to Help

The VA’s process is built on history: the history of when and where you served, what happened to you, and how it connects to what you are living with today. That is what the VA too often ignores when it issues a denial.

We are veterans. We understand that history because we have our own. We chose to become attorneys so we could stand beside every brother, sister, surviving spouse, and dependent who comes to us and make sure their story is told, completely, accurately, and with the force it deserves.

This fight is personal to us because each veteran’s story is personal. That is not a marketing line. It is why we built this firm.

I cannot say enough great things about Bill Sterbinsky Veterans Affairs Law, P.A. and the incredible team of Chris Neely, Marina LaGasse, and Raya Milanova. They have been assisting me with my veterans’ benefits and disability claims for several years, and their unwavering professionalism, compassion, and dedication have made a significant impact on my life. From day one, they have treated me with respect and understanding, taking the time to truly listen to my concerns. Navigating the VA system can be overwhelming, but with their expertise and patience, they have made the process as smooth as possible. They are responsive, thorough, and relentless in their pursuit of the best outcomes for veterans, ensuring that we receive the benefits we have rightfully earned. One of the moments that truly cemented my trust and appreciation for this firm happened while I was visiting a good friend, Alan Rupe, in Virginia. Alan, a 100% disabled veteran, was facing uncertainty regarding an upcoming VA appointment and how it might impact his disability rating. Despite not being a client, I called Bill Sterbinsky, and without hesitation, he took 30 minutes out of his day to speak with Alan, walking him through what to expect, what questions to ask, and how to best approach the appointment. That level of care and selflessness speaks volumes about Bill and his team’s commitment to helping veterans—whether they are clients or not. If you are a veteran in need of legal guidance for VA benefits or disability claims, I highly recommend Bill Sterbinsky Veterans Affairs Law, P.A. Their dedication to serving veterans is unmatched, and their willingness to go above and beyond makes them a truly exceptional firm. They fight for us like family, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

“From the start, Marina Lagasse and Mr. Brian made my entire experience seamless. They were incredibly knowledgeable, always available to answer my questions, and made the whole process easy. Every time I called, they provided excellent support. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!”

Bill, Jacob, and every member of Veterans Affairs Law are exceptional. Having an attorney who is prompt and caring about each case makes them stand out from the rest. Bill and his teams prior military service makes understanding of each persons case that more simple. I highly recommend!

I frequently refer my clients to Veterans Affairs Law and they are all happy. I highly recommend Bill and his staff. They are sharp, fast, efficient, and really care about helping the veterans they work with. I'd give 10 stars if I could. You're in great hands with Attorney Sterbinsky and Veterans Affairs Law!

Are federal investigation findings why Tampa Bay area veterans’ claims are delayed and denied?

January 13, 2023
A retired combat Marine who now represents veterans fighting for VA benefits called the results revealed in a federal investigation into the agency’s claims process “atrocious.”

As Operation Iraqi Freedom exploded 7,000 miles from Florida, Sarasota’s Bill Sterbinsky enlisted with the Marines after the 9/11 attacks, and he fought in Iraq from 2006 to 2007.
