Veterans Disability Law

Colonel (Retired) Rick Rousseau is committed to help Veterans receive the VA disability benefits for which they earned and are entitled. He does not get paid for his services until you do.

It is an unfortunate reality that many veterans’ claims for disability benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are denied or unfairly minimized. Colonel (Retired) Rick Rousseau is focused on helping veterans present the strongest possible cases to help them secure the VA disability benefits they deserve and are entitled.

How We Can Begin Helping You

While we do not file initial claims for disability benefits for veterans, we can begin working on your case after the VA has issued a rating decision.

The problems our clients face fall into two categories:

Complete denial of veterans disability benefits
Awarding benefits based on a disability rating that is much lower than what the person is actually suffering

Each case is unique. We work and collaborate with each Veteran to make sure that each one gets the individual representation they deserve.

Our Method

Our Team

We Know How To Build Cases The VA Understands

The VA has very specific requirements for the awarding of disability benefits. Even people with legitimate disabilities can be denied benefits if their case is not presented properly. With our military and VA experience, we understand how to build cases that clearly communicate your circumstances to the VA so that you can get the full benefits to which you are entitled.

Rick Rousseau and his team at the Criss & Rousseau Law firm handled my affairs and legal needs in a timely and professional manner. I very much appreciated the attention to detail and the warm and inviting atmosphere. If you are a veteran it would be well worth your time to visit with this retired JAG officer.

Rick Rousseau was a life saver for me… He guided me through all of the stumbling blocks of putting together a Power of Attorney and educated me on Medicare and Medicaid. My trip to Texas was quick and efficient thanks to his guidance – if it hadn’t been for his help there would have been many wasted hours and expense. I would strongly recommend Rick and his firm to anyone in a similar set of circumstances.
