Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.

We had a very positive experience working with this law firm on a disability claim. From the initial consultation, Kathy W. was knowledgeable, informative, and supportive. She maintained consistent communication throughout the process and responded to our questions promptly and thoughtfully, which helped ease what can be a very stressful experience. During the court hearing, Attorney Christian provided clear guidance and sound advice, ensuring we felt prepared and supported every step of the way.

If you need help with disability, I highly recommend contacting this wonderful group. It took over two years to get a favorable ruling for my son and they were there every step of the way. Professional, thorough, easy to work with. We are so appreciative.
Get Help With Military Discharge Upgrades
A Veteran's character of discharge can have a profound effect upon his or her entire life after service. Upgrading a discharge may lead to greater eligibility for Veterans benefits, chances of obtaining better employment and housing, removal of a 'bad paper discharge' stigma, and simple vindication.
USERRA and FMLA Protections for Service Members
Recognizing the need to protect families and military service personnel's rights, Congress has enacted two acts: The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). These acts allow servicemembers to take extended leave to attend to important family matters, health issues, or military service. If your employer prevents you from taking this time off work or does not reemploy you after returning from military service, you have a right to take them to court. With over four decades of experience advocating for employees, our FMLA and USERRA attorneys offer tough employment legal counsel. Our attorneys will help you assert your right to extended leave.
Assistance with Veteran-Owned Businesses
Whether you're opening a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S corporation, C corporation, or DBA business, you may want to consult with a lawyer before beginning the process. A lawyer will provide sound advice on any contracts and agreements that keep your business on solid footing and assist you with employee-related matters.
Why Hire an Attorney at Grimes Teich Anderson?
Although many Veterans do successfully navigate the VA and other federal systems on their own, there are many times when retaining an attorney could result in a more favorable result.* Each year thousands of Veterans have their claims evaluated incompletely or incorrectly, leading to under-valued or denied claims. At Grimes Teich Anderson, our understanding of the statutes, rules, and regulations surrounding both the VA and DoD help our attorneys build a strong case on our clients’ behalf. The fact that we have personal experience as being service-connected disabled Veterans, Veterans’ dependents, and family of active duty service members means that this work is personal.
Our Veterans Affairs attorneys can help you receive a proper evaluation by the VA and other federal agencies and, if necessary, before the courts, including the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
