We Are Here to
Fight For You
We are a group of individuals who have served our country, and who understand firsthand the feeling of being ignored and overlooked. Our primary goal is to be a voice for veterans and to hold the VA and Congress accountable for the sacrifices they have asked us to make. We are committed to persistently fighting against the VA's denials to ensure that each veteran's story is heard and acknowledged. Our passion for this cause was ignited after experiencing our own claims being denied and prosecuted. It became clear to us that the VA's self-executing, legislative intent was not the reality, and that many veterans were likely facing similar struggles. As a result, we founded this firm with the intention of making a positive change. We believe that education, research, and a deep understanding of the history of each claim is essential to helping veterans with disabilities in their fight for recognition and compensation.
How We Can Help
We handle all matters involving the Department of veterans affairs to include, disability and compensation; pension; survivor’s claims; educational assistance; discharge upgrades; correction of military records; etc.
Disabilities /
Compensation
For all injuries sustained on active duty, that developed due to exposures or that had a late onset; presumptive conditions; and, those that fall under theories of a secondary basis.
01
Survivor
Benefits
Survivor benefits are available to spouses, children, and dependent parents of veterans who died while on active duty, as well as those who died as a result of a service-connected disability or illness.
02
Accrued
Benefits
Accrued benefits refer to a wide range of compensation and services available to military veterans who have served their country. They are designed to assist veterans with various needs, such as healthcare, housing, and employment.

We've Been There, That's Why Our Team is Here to Help
The key is in the history of every veteran’s service. The history of when and where they served. That is what the VA seems to ignore. The Veterans Affairs Law team is unique in that we have lived the military experience, seen the VA for what it is, and then choose to advocate for our brothers and sisters. This fight for us is personal because each veteran’s story is personal. We are designed to promote the facts of each veteran’s foundation of service and ensure that the VA recognizes these realities. That way, we can better support arguments for service connection.
LET'S TALK
I was overwhelmed with great news to hear about my rating. Furthermore, Bill and his team are continuing to fight for my other claims. I honestly feel that they are sincere and dedicated to help veterans. God bless all of you and everything you continue to do.
Bill Sterbinsky is flawless when it comes to helping out our fellow veterans who have been shut down on their disability proposals. He has been working day and night and it shows how much he cares! I recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with any VA claims and I'll continue to refer people to him. God bless you sir and thank you for your service as well as the continued service you provide.
The VA messed up my service-related disability claim. There were a number of mistakes through interpreting my medical records, resulting in an incorrect disability rating and denial of several benefits. I learned of Bill Sterbinsky through SRQ Vets and his Veterans Affairs Law, P.A. team. They soon became my advocate. End result is that the errors were soon corrected and I am now getting all my earned VA benefits. Thank you for advocating for me and my family Bill! I would highly recommend that Bill and his tenacious team work for you with anything VA related.
I can't even begin to give enough thanks to Bill, Carly, and everyone else that had any part in my case. After 23 years of being afraid to file, they walked my through every single step. They were patient, answered every question and concern, and they actually cared. They've done nothing short of changing not only my life and my future but by families as well. I couldn't hold back the tears when I got my 100% rating. 5 stars is not enough to show my appreciation for these amazing people. God bless you for the work you do!
I am extremely grateful to Mr. Bill Sterbinsky and his team members Marina and Carly at Veterans Affairs Law for their hard work, professionalism, and diligence. They expertly navigated every step of the process to successfully resolve my VA claims far beyond my expectations! There is no way I could have accomplished this without them. They always kept me informed and it was easy to communicate with their office and get quick answers to all my questions. I highly recommend this firm to any veterans who need help. Bill and his colleagues are fellow veterans who understand the complex VA bureaucracy and they truly care about helping veterans. Well done and keep up the great work!
My Marine kid brother was having a frustrating experience navigating the VA labyrinth seeking disability benefits. The VA had made several obvious errors in their determination. After getting hooked up with Bill through SRQ Vets, things started to happen quickly and the Red Tape disappeared and all the errors were soon corrected. As a family, we are grateful to Bill and his team at Veterans Affairs Law!
Just shy of 20 years dealing with the VA has been nothing but frustration until I put my claims in the capable hands of William and his team. I cannot say enough, their professionalism, responsiveness and tenacity has brought me from 10% to 100% in short time. Even when I’ve given up they never did. I’ve had liaisons from my congressman’s office, state representatives, etc accomplish nothing William and his team go above and beyond to advocate for veterans with great passion and attention. Thank you!!!
I had a 40% VA disability rating when I met Bill Sterbinsky back in October 2020. Today, I was informed by his firm that I am at 100% thanks to him and the firm's hard work and dedication to my claims. Veterans Affairs Law truly looks out for disabled veterans and means it. I will advocate and promote this law firm to any disabled veteran out there that is in need of their services till I go to my grave. Forget those VSO's. They're a waste of time. If you want real results, go with Bill Sterbinsky at Veterans Affairs Law.
Wonderful caring staff. Would highly recommend this firm to any veteran in need. Very appreciative of all their hard work.
I received an extremely low rating from the VA at the end of my enlistment. Bill with Veterans Affairs Law fought hard to get me to 100%. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and worked like my claim was his own. If you’re looking for a lawyer who knows how to get you what you deserve look no further than Veterans Affairs Law!
I personally would recommend any veteran seeking legal representation to give the Veteran Affairs law office a call.-I knew that my claims would have issues and knew there were several law offices out there soliciting for my business. The reason I chose this law firm was because of their staff and great customer service.The team of professionals mainly consist of veterans from all branches. So, you can rest assured, they have a real genuine concern on helping other veterans out with their claim. I also have noticed their ability to work very cohesively and diligently together. They are always there to answer any of my questions, look into current issues I am dealing with, file new claims, and does a great job of relieving me of the stress of dealing with the VA alone.Do not go through the headache of dealing with the VA yourself. It can be a challenging and long process. Pick a law office that is fair with their return and doesn’t see anything until you do.You will not be let down. Best wishes!
Bill came highly recommended from a fellow veteran, from the moment I reached out to him and had an opportunity to talk to him, I was confident that I was in good hands. Professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to, it’s been an amazing experience. Marina, his assistant was also amazing to work with and the whole experience with dealing with the VA was much easier with their help. I will be recommend you guys to every veteran in my position . Thank you very much!
If you think you have a hard case, just bring it to them. I bet they make it look easy.
Wish I would have come to them sooner. Would have saved me so many headaches. I tried to do it myself but never got anywhere. They got it done so fast. Highly recommend
William is a hell of a guy. The best we have to offer in this world. To see him light up so passionately when talking about helping people is a sight to see. A truly candid experience. Keep doing all that you do for people because it’s clearly your happy place:)
Thank you so much bill for all the hard work you’ve done for me and my family. It’s truly gods work you’re doing and I can’t thank you enough. Idk where I’d be with out you. I’m choking up just thinking about it atm. How could I not be emotional thinking about not having my children with me and my wife by my side, because without your efforts my family would be in fractions. Because of you we are whole and happy and prospering. I owe you big time. I mean that. If there is anything you need I will be there for you at the drop of a hat.
Bill, Carley & the team at Veterans Affair Law go above and beyond...they've taken on a battle with the VA and my benefits that I had given up on.Thank you so much for fighting my fight
Bill and his team is a God send!!!!!! For years I was under the assumption that I did not qualify for any benefits, because I was “only a reservist” although I was injured during active duty. They took my case and have been diligently working towards a favorable resolution. They call and email when they say they will. Omg, the most important part is they LISTEN!!!! and assured me that my service to the country was and is important!!!! Thank you so much Bill and Carly!!!!!!
Bill and his team are consummate professionals. I expected nothing less, as I had the honor of serving in the Marine Corps with Bill. He is as much as a fighter for veterans today as he was for the guys to his left and right while we were in. I was at 80% and had run into wall after wall and I just could not seem to get over, under, or around them. So I called for the breacher and Bill knocked the walls down and got me to 100%. This means the world to my family and I. Thanks again to Bill and his team at Veterans Affairs Law, you guys are incredible!Semper Fidelis
Bill and his team are awesome. I almost gave up trying to get my benefits because of all the red tape the VA throws at you. A friend of mine gave me Bill's number and with one phone call I felt way better about getting all my benefits. The process was so painless. I would highly Highly recommend this firm for what ever your needs are.Roger Binsfeld
I sat down with my local VA office for guidance on how to start filing for my disabilities. I was very upset to hear that because I was “a National Guard member and not an Active Duty Member” it was going to be “harder” to prove my medical conditions. After a long, drawn out process and 2 years of getting nowhere, I decided to reach out to Mr. Sterbinsky. He was efficient, respectful and has always treated me with dignity. He reassured me that he would fight and continue fighting for my disability compensation. Within a few months, the proper paperwork was submitted and within 2 years from the first interaction of speaking with Mr. Sterbinksy, I was awarded a disability rating of 100%. He remained in contact with me periodically to update me on my case. He is just a phone call away when I had and continue to have any questions. He continues to fight for Veteran’s rights. I have recommended him to fellow Veteran’s and will continue to do so. Put your trust into him, get the rating you deserve! You won’t be disappointed! I am proud to call him a friend.
Mr. Sterbinsky and his team made the process of getting me into the VA a breeze. I am an Iraq veteran that departed the Corps in 08 and I avoided the VA for over 12 years even though I was told and knew I should probably be over there talking to them. Sometimes we need a helping hand and when I heard Bill calling out to any veteran who needed help with the VA I gave him the call.I couldn't be more grateful for his help in getting me in and continuing to fight for me on issues the VA acknowledges but doesn't want to do anything about.
Bill and the team at Veteran's Affairs Law have been awesome. They have helped several service friends of mine to recover benefits they didn't think were going to be possible to recover. The integrity of Bill has clearly been pushed down to his staff too. Highly recommend!
Very professional. Veterans affairs law has goes above and beyond. They really care for the Veterans they help.
I've been back and forth with VA since 2014. Hired Mr. Sterbinsky about two years ago and was one of the best decisions I've made. I wish I would have known about Mr. Sterbinsky services before. Bill and his Paralegal staff are phenomenal. Always there to assist and give you guidance. HIGHLY recommended for any Veteran trying to increase their VA rating!!! Thank you Bill for all you do, I really appreciated.V/rJaime
Bill and his team handled my dispute in a timely manner. They were very professional and very efficient. This has helped me and my family more than you know and we will be forever grateful. Thanks again and keep helping clients. You are all amazing at it!
I highly recommend Bill Sterbinsky Esquire and his team for all Veterans in need of legal services.
One word to describe Bill and his team. Tenacious. It was a long fight with the VA, but with the team at Veterans Affairs Law, I won. They just kept fighting, appealing, calling them out when they did not follow their own procedures. Don't fight the VA alone, hire the team at Veteran Affairs Law!
Bill was sensitive to my needs. His passion to help did not go unnoticed. I think that his own service to this country makes him a perfect fit to help other veterans and their families.
Bill and his team made my entire VA claim process a breeze! They were thorough and so easy to work with. I had to be patient and wait on the system itself, however I could not be more confident that things ran even smoother due to their help and knowledge of working with the VA and knowing the language and the laws. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking help with their VA claim process or if someone just had questions in general about how to navigate the system.
My experience with Veterans Affairs Law has been phenomenal. I struggled with the VA and my ratings for more than a decade. This team has brought me to 100% as of early this week! I appreciate the help from the whole crew and I recommend them to any veteran that needs help!!!! Thank you to Bill and the associates that work with him!!
VA Law has been nothing but helpful and resourceful for me. From someone who figured they would never get any form of disability because I had nothing in my medical jacket to prove anything to start with, all the way to 80% and currently climbing. Bill Sterbinsky and his team have done incredible work in less time if I were to claim all this myself and it's incredibly appreciated. Thank you all!
I used to think lawyers were all scumbags and never understood why someone would use one to assist with VA Benefits. But then I met Bill. This guy is legit. I never would have thought a Marine could be this smart either! I was struggling with my claim, even with clear cut evidence of my injuries. Bill said he could help, so I let him do his thang. He called the VA out on them not following the proper procedures and looking at the evidence. I went from 70% to 100% P&T. Thank you for all you do for me and our Brothers and Sisters! You are a true treasure to our community!The Army is still better though.
