Agent Orange Claim for Veterans’ Disability Benefits: Get Financial Support in Upstate New York

If you or your spouse served in Vietnam and came in contact with Agent Orange, the harmful chemical could still affect you today, more than 40 years later.

You were following orders when it happened. Now, you can’t work much—or at all—because of it.

You need help—veterans’ disability benefits, specifically. When you can’t provide for you and your family because of an illness connected to your service, you deserve financial security.

Sometimes, unfortunately, the VA doesn’t have your back. A low disability rating can fall short of what you need to keep going.

The experienced lawyers at Lachman & Gorton can help you set things straight. We’ll help gather the medical evidence you need to prove how serious your health issues are.

You deserve fair compensation. Don’t settle for anything less.

So if you’re in Elmira, Rochester, Binghamton, Syracuse, Buffalo, or anywhere in Central or Upstate New York, get in touch today to get your case started.
