Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend Seven Principles Law Firm I had an incredible experience working with Seven Principles Law Firm, and I’m beyond grateful for their help in increasing my VA disability rating from 70% to 80%. I still have a few more claims pending, and with their continued support, I’m optimistic about reaching 90%. I especially want to highlight Mark Cummings, my Account Manager. Mark is a highly knowledgeable and professional advocate who made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. He always took the time to explain each step, answered all my questions, and provided honest, expert guidance from start to finish. If you’re a veteran navigating the VA claims process, I highly recommend Seven Principles Law Firm and working with Mark. Their commitment to veterans is clear, and their results speak for themselves. Edit ------- Update! 7 Principles helped me get to 100% P & T! This time around Marti Russ helped through the process, as Mark Cummings is now retired. Marti and 7 Principles Team, thank you very much!

I deeply appreciate your dedication, support, and the confidence you instilled during the process. You made a real difference!Posted on joseph lemusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 30 yrs of fighting with VA and couldn't get past 10%. Deniel after deniel and many times of just giving up. I called Seven Principles and they helped me with all my paperwork, filing , C&P coaching and after 2 yrs I was able to get up to 60% with 36 months of back pay. Their fee was more than reasonable and way less than most. Now gonna use them again to file my secondary claims.
