Expert representation with peer-level understanding.
What We Do
Comprehensive representation, from rating increases to appeals.
We specialize in rating increases and appeals — the cases where representation makes the difference. Our experienced team handles your claim end to end, with VA-accredited attorneys supervising the strategy, and our support team keeps you informed at each step.
01 — Disability Ratings
Claims & Rating Increases
Rating increases, condition-specific claims, and service-connection cases. We make sure your evidence is complete and clearly presented, so the VA can't look away.
02 — Appeals Process
Appeals & Higher-Level Review
Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Reviews, and Board Appeals — handled by a specialized team and supervised by VA-accredited attorneys who know the appeals process inside and out.
03 — Full Service
End-to-End Support
From documentation to final decision, we represent you the entire way — evidence, forms, filings, and every hearing. You don't navigate the VA; we do it for you, with someone you can always reach.
Our Process
A straightforward approach to a complicated system.
Four steps, refined over years of representing veterans. We do the heavy lifting at each one and keep you in the loop, so you always know where your claim stands.
Case Review
Thorough review of your service and medical history. We tell you honestly what's winnable.
Documentation
We collect every piece of evidence the VA will respect — records, statements, expert opinions.
Claim Filing
A comprehensive claim package — prepared to win outright, and built to hold up if it goes to appeal.
Ongoing Support
We represent you through the entire process — including appeals — for as long as your case has a path forward.
About Augustus Miles
Attorneys who know the VA — veterans who know you.

Augustus Miles brings together two things you rarely find in one place: VA-accredited attorneys who know how to win these cases, and a support team of veterans — many of them former clients who've been through the VA themselves.
That pairing is the whole point. You get representation that knows the system cold, and the kind of understanding you only get from someone who's walked the same path.
We take the whole fight off your plate and push for the rating you've earned — and we don't let up while there's a winnable path forward.
VA-Accredited Attorneys
You Only Pay If You Win
Served
Our fee is contingency-based — $0 upfront, and you only pay if we win. Some claims are stronger with independent medical evidence (a medical opinion or exam), arranged with and paid directly to a third-party provider — separate from our fee, and not needed in every case.
What Veterans Say

Every case is its own story. Filter by branch and read through the veterans who trusted us to fight for the rating they'd earned.

Remigio R.

I was expecting to get something like 50% and under, but ended up getting 100%. My family's life has greatly improved because of it, and the VA is taking my treatment more seriously because of it.

Don and Ed were incredibly engaged and helpful throughout the long process of acquiring a VA rating. I couldn't have asked for a better team to assist me with the acquiring the appropriate rating after serving for 27 years in the military. Five star customer service.

Common Questions
Straight answers, no fine print.
Do I really pay nothing upfront?
Yes — you pay us nothing upfront, and our fee only applies if we win your claim. One thing worth knowing: some claims are stronger with independent medical evidence, like a medical opinion or exam. When that helps your case, it's arranged with a third-party provider and paid directly to them — that's separate from our fee, it isn't something every claim needs, and we'll always talk it through with you before anything's arranged.
What does it cost to work with Augustus Miles?
Your consultation is free, and we work on a contingency basis — you only pay our fee if we win. Any third-party medical evidence used to strengthen your claim is billed separately by the provider, and it's not required in every case.
Can you help if the VA already denied or underrated my claim?
Yes — a denial or a rating that came back too low is one of the most common reasons veterans come to us. We handle Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Reviews, and Board appeals. We'll look at what happened, figure out where the claim fell short, and tell you honestly what's worth pursuing.
What conditions or claims do you handle?
A wide range — physical and mental health conditions, presumptive conditions (including those added under the PACT Act), secondary conditions connected to a service-connected issue, rating increases, and individual unemployability. If you're not sure whether something is claimable, that's exactly what the free consultation is for — we'll look at your situation and tell you what's worth pursuing.
Can you guarantee I'll get a higher rating?
No — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Nobody can promise a specific VA outcome. What we can tell you is that we know this process inside and out, we'll be straight with you about what's winnable, and we only get paid if your claim succeeds — so our interests are lined up with yours.
How long does the VA claims process take?
It depends on the type of claim and how backed up the VA is, so the timeline is largely theirs to set — claims often take months, and appeals can take longer. What we control is keeping your case moving and keeping you updated, so you're never left wondering where things stand.
Will working with you affect my current benefits?
Hiring us doesn't by itself change the benefits you already have — our job is to help you build on what you've earned. Every veteran's situation is different, so in your free consultation we'll look at your full picture and give you a straight, honest answer about what makes sense for you. No pressure, no surprises.
How are you different from a VSO?
Veterans Service Organizations do valuable work and they're free — if that's the right fit for you, use them. Augustus Miles is a contingency-based option for veterans who want dedicated, end-to-end representation from VA-accredited attorneys. You only pay our fee if we win.
Do you work with veterans nationwide?
Yes — we represent veterans in all fifty states. Everything can be handled remotely by phone, email, and secure document sharing, so you don't need to live near us to work with us.
