Life-Changing Representation – Twenty years ago, I suffered a significant spinal injury and severe mental health damage from specialized military training. For years, I was deceived into believing I wasn’t eligible for benefits. Despite clear medical records showing my on-duty injuries, I was repeatedly stonewalled by bureaucratic processes and a legal framework designed to deny, deny, deny. By mid-2024, I faced yet another denial. Frustrated but determined, I started reaching out to attorneys. I spoke to a lot of them. For me, the right vibe and connection are essential—if the relationship doesn’t feel right, I won’t move forward. After all,…

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.

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. 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. Owner and Operator…
