Avoid VA Claim Sharks – Get Accredited Help You Can Trust

Don’t Pay Upfront. Don’t Get Scammed. Get the Benefits You Have Earned – Legally.

If you’ve been denied VA benefits or aren’t getting the rating you deserve, don’t fall for illegal claim sharks. We’re VA-accredited advocates who fight for you — and we only get paid if you win.

What’s a “VA Claim Shark”?

Some companies pretend to help veterans with their disability claims. They offer fast results, insider promises, and demand upfront payments — but they’re not accredited, and what they’re doing is illegal.

If someone says they can “guarantee” a higher rating — run.

How We’re Different

At Parmele Disability Advocates, we’re VA-accredited, ethical, and transparent. Here’s how we compare:

VA Claim Sharks vs. Parmele Disability Advocates

Claim Sharks Parmele Disability Advocates
Fees Demand upfront payments or take % of monthly checks (illegal) Only paid after you win your case — never upfront
Promises Claim “insider access” or “guaranteed ratings” We give honest timelines — no one can make VA work faster
Contracts Push you to sign confusing or non-binding paperwork We explain your rights clearly before you sign anything
Accreditation Avoid VA accreditation or hide their lack of credentials Fully VA-accredited with publicly verifiable credentials
Evidence Skip medical or service records and rush the process Build your case with real evidence — the right way
Oversight Operate in the shadows with no VA accountability Our fees are filed with the VA, ensuring legal compliance

Why It Matters

Choosing the wrong help can delay your benefits, cost you money, and leave you worse off than before. Veterans deserve justice, not empty promises. We’ve helped thousands of veterans get the benefits they’ve earned — without the risk.

Real Veterans, Real Results

Prompt, cordial, always returned calls, and explained procedures and what to expect.  Other representation didn’t do near what Parmele did; their strategy worked.
