Story

VETERANS LAW

If you're an injured and disabled veteran, you know that making a claim for VA benefits is a complicated and unfriendly process. If you have been denied VA benefits, you have a right to appeal that decision. Contact CCK for help. CCK has a unique, in-depth, understanding of the regulations, statutes and case law to fight for you. If your appeal is denied, you may need to sue VA in court. Not every veteran's law firm takes cases to court. CCK's willingness to take cases to court and its success in doing so strengthens its ability to represent your interests. Through this approach, CCK's team of veterans lawyers and claims advocates often achieves successful results for clients.

CCK's veterans' lawyers will make a thorough review of your file in order to establish a record to argue your case before the Regional Office, the Board of Veterans Appeals, the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims or Federal Circuit court. Where appropriate, CCK will locate and retain experts as needed to strengthen your case. CCK is prepared to see your claim through, from filing an initial claim all the way through to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. By preparing to go the distance, CCK's veterans' lawyers achieve many satisfactory results for clients before the case ever reaches the hearing room or courtroom.

Since 1990, attorney Robert Chisholm has focused his practice on helping veterans obtain the full benefits and VA compensation to which they are entitled. Mr. Chisholm, one of the preeminent veterans' lawyers in the country, is a two-term president of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates (NOVA) and was the second President of the Veterans Attorneys Bar Association. He continues to lead his team of attorneys, practitioners, and advocates to obtaining successful results for their clients.


ERISA LAW

CCK has successfully litigated cases against some of the largest corporations and insurance companies in the nation. Its civil litigation practice is effective and has a proven track record of success for clients. CCK has the resources and ability to represent clients in many aspects of litigation including: insurance dispute; ERISA and non-ERISA long-term disability insurance disputes; life insurance disputes; serious personal injury; and wrongful death, contract, and business disputes.

If you have been denied insurance benefits, CCK can help secure those benefits to which you are entitled. CCK's ERISA attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to handle complex cases in long-term disability, short-term disability, life insurance, long-term care insurance, and pension benefits. CCK's team of experienced attorneys know how to interpret ERISA statutes, the applicable Department of Labor Regulations, the plan documents and the case law of the federal courts to protect your entitlement to benefits.

If your claim has been denied, you may have a limited amount of time to appeal the decision, so it is important to get help as soon as possible.

Mission

As attorneys, we see civil litigation as more than enforcing a right or seeking a remedy. We fight to restore pride and independence to clients whose lives have been impacted by the wrongful denial of meritorious claims, or other negligent or wrongful actions of another party. We often find ourselves representing individuals and families who are confronted by the daunting prospect of challenging the government, or a large corporation or insurance company.

Our willingness to take cases to court and our success in doing so strengthens our ability to represent our clients' interests. Through this approach, our team of lawyers and claims advocates often achieve successful settlements for our clients before the case ever reaches a courtroom.
