Travis H.
I am writing this review on behalf of my Father, Frank Hise. Jim represented my father to help him get his VA disability benefits to help him obtain 100% disability which is well deserved. My father and mother are not easy people to work with and have a hard time dealing with anything different so Jim had his work cut out for him. 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.

Mr. Comerford is just a good human being but more than that; he knows what he is doing.

Timothy C.
The professional services I received from James Comerford were totally professional and amazing. After being denied my VA benefits several times and misrepresented by others, I am grateful to say James Comerford won my appeal with the VA. I was treated with respect and dignity from the time I called his office to speak with staff all the way to Jim himself calling me. I am forever grateful to the great staff and James Comerford for winning my appeal.

Client of Comerford Law Office
James Comerford demonstrates he is a lawyer that will help veterans seek the compensation they deserve. He does not give up too easily. His track record proved to me, I needed his support and assistance. He was the hope I was looking for to put hope and life back into my claim and give it some respect, so those on the Board of Appeals would take my case a little more seriously. He provided me with hope and supported me every step of the way through the hardest times. I personally thank James for helping me get my case granted…
