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.

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.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bill Sterbinsky and his team. Bill assisted me in navigating the painful journey of the Veteran Administration’s benefit process. He assisted me in navigating my benefit claims expeditiously, and he was able to succeed where others so-called VA reps I used in the past failed. Bill is a fellow warfighter who speaks our lingo, and he is someone who is easy to talk to. He is amazing on what he does, and if you are tired of trying to navigate the VA benefits claim process on your own I recommend you give him and call. He is very reachable. Thanks again, Bill

Great people to go to if you want to get your rating up. I was finally awarded my 100% in less than a year thanks to Bill. He filed things on my behalf that I never knew about and nobody else cared to really try and help. I've already recommended him to other family and friends.

I should have reviewed this amazing team a year ago. So I must apologize for my delay.You wouldn’t be here reading these reviews unless you are in need of assistance. I was that person two years ago. At the time Bill was still with the Alex Dell Law Firm. He decided to branch out on his own so that he could focus on US, not someone else’s deep pockets. So please, if you see any negative reviews from Bill’s time with that law firm, do not allow that to sway any judgement. I followed him as he was branching out on his own. Best decision I ever made.But! That is not why I am writing this lengthy review. Without going over my entire medical history… I was stuck at 50% for more than a decade. In 2013 I struggled to get to that 50% because that would mean that the Air Force would have to finally admit what happened to me during time in service. I am a veteran with PTSD/MST (among some other things). Since it was such a struggle to get to the 50% years ago, I just didn’t have the fight in me to go after more. My life post service has not been easy. It’s hard when you don’t get the validation you so deserve and have to struggle and fight to get your COMPENSATION not your “benefit”. When I was first introduced to Bill, he was immediately my friend. My brother in arms. This poor man was not only my attorney, but he also played therapist and cheerleader. He listened and encouraged me to keep going. So many of us have been faced with the decision to not move forward because we have been made to believe we are undeserving. You are worthy!! You are worthy to be here and please stay, but you are also worthy of the compensation for what you went through during your time in service. If you allow Bill and his amazing team to guide you through the process, you will not be disappointed. He may not be able to get you to 100% like he did for me, but he will fight for every single point/percentage he does get you. He is so worth the small percentage that he takes for payment for you to have a lifetime of compensation. I recommend him to every veteran I talk to that is struggling to get compensation. I owe so much to this team. Not only for the money that get every month now, but for finally having my validation from the military. The money is great but the validation is priceless.

Bill and Team are AWESOME!! I waited too many years to file claims. When I did, the Team worked relentlessly and was able to help me get 100% disability! While that is a great thing, it's sad to be that broken. Bill's team is enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable... I could go on and on! Thank you, Veterans Affairs Law, for all you do helping veterans!

Bill and the folks of Veterans Affairs Law are absolutely amazing. Beyond my personal representation, I have referred a number of veterans to them and they resolved the outstanding claims for every one of them, 3 had been fighting for over 10 years for compensation on service connected injuries. A true asset to the veteran community!!

Bill Sterbinski is one good man and a great lawyer. He did for me in 4 years what dealing with the VA by myself for 24 years couldn't do. And I will now be rated at 100% disability. THANK YOU for all you have done for me.

And it did! If you're considering Veterans Affairs Law to represent you, I say do it! You won't regret it.Semper Fi 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.
