The Veterans Practice
Catherine Cornell, Attorney
Veterans attorney dedicated to obtaining the VA benefits our nation’s heroes and their families need and deserve.
Lawyer Catherine Cornell helps veterans and their families navigate the often complicated and overwhelming VA benefits process. From new claims through appeals, Catherine will not stop fighting until she obtains the maximum disability benefit for her clients.
The practice is located outside Chicago, Illinois, but Catherine can take on cases anywhere in the U.S. Since VA law is federal, a veterans attorney is not limited to taking clients only in the state where she is licensed.
Catherine’s attorney fee is a percentage of the back-due benefit the VA pays when it grants a disability claim. In other words, you owe Catherine nothing until the VA issues a favorable decision in your case.
Areas of Practice
VA disability compensation
If a veteran is injured while on active duty they might be eligible for VA disability compensation payments. However, even though these benefits are needed and deserved, veterans often struggle to obtain them. That’s where a veterans attorney comes in. After practicing exclusively in VA law for more than 15 years, Catherine can use her expertise and knowledge of the law to ensure veterans are ultimately awarded their benefits.
Survivors benefits
When a veteran passes away, their family members may be eligible for survivor benefits. Similar to compensation for veterans, it can be overwhelming and frustrating to successfully navigate this process. As a veterans lawyer, Catherine can help the survivors of veterans obtain these important benefits in Chicago or nationwide.
Training/Consulting
