This law firm is absolutely amazing. I've been dealing with my VA claims on my own for 5 years. After my last denial from the VA I decided to hire Comerford Law. Best decision I could've made. Attorney Comerford was able to get my denial overturned and get me backpay. He made this process so easy on me. Attorney Comerford and his firm handled all communication with the VA. He was quick in responding to me and answering all of my questions as well. Would definitely recommend, and will use this firm in the future.

I have worked with Comerford law firm for many years on my VA cases. Attorney James Comerford was direct and very diligent working and winning my 100% unemployability case and my more recent back pay compensation appeal cases. I am incredibly grateful for his patience, hard work and professionalism, he definitely knows the ins and outs of the many (sometimes) complicated laws. I highly recommend him. I wish everyone the best, patience is 🔑

Mr. Comerford is not only a great lawyer but he is a great human being. He was with me step by step with my disability case and went above and beyond lawyer duties. He cared for my well being and that meant a lot to me and I'll never forget.

He was patient and extremely helpful throughout the process. Jim worked for many years helping my dad slowing increase his disability benefits with the VA and finally he was able to achieve the well deserved 100% disability…

It is not always certain when you are in the hands of good company. Mainly for the inevitable reasons of misfortune, bad experiences, or overall gullibility. It's hard to predict where life is going at all times but most importantly you need to know who to call when life goes sideways and you are in need of legal advocacy at a moments notice. This call to service can only be met by one professional team in the Chicagoland area and the east Tennessee region, in turn that is, The Law Offices of The Comerford Law Office LLC.

If you're reading this review, it probably means things aren't going that well for you. You're reading this because you need help. I know this feeling also, and it can be a dreadful experience when looking for that help as it relates to lawyers. Well, the good news is this, the search is over. Mr. Comerford is just a good human being but more than that; he knows what he is doing. After calling around and spending weeks explaining my story, time after time, to dozens of lawyers that deal with the Department of Veteran Affairs, Mr. Comerford heard me…

Jim, was the only attorney that believed in my case and took knowing we had obstacles but would win. Jim was great to work with and always made time for my calls and in the end, won my VA case for me with retro pay. Hands down the go-to VA Attorney to hire.
