Testimonial

After fighting for over 23 years to “suck it up” and manage my PTSD alone, I finally hit a wall. When I finally filed for TDIU, the VA denied me, claiming I had 'resigned' from my last job and misinterpreting my medical notes. I felt like a fraud and didn't know where to turn. Hiring the Law Office of Sean Kendall was the best decision I’ve ever made. I worked closely with Megan Kondrachuk and Gabby Paradine, and their expertise is unmatched. Megan identified clear factual errors the VA made. She built a “Strategic Overview” that used my actual termination letter and the law (38 CFR 4.16) to turn the case around. Megan’s preparation was so overwhelming that the VA Senior Reviewer actually canceled my hearing because they decided to grant the claim on the spot. Beyond just getting me to 100% P&T, Megan successfully fought for a January 2023 effective date—over two years of back pay that I didn't even know I was entitled to. It resulted in a retroactive award of over $79,000, which has officially secured my family's home and my future. Megan is highly intelligent, no-nonsense, and incredibly responsive. If you are a veteran sitting in the “night watch” wondering if you should get an attorney—do it. This team turns years of denials into a life-changing reality. Thank you, Megan and Gabby! U.S. Navy Veteran
Mr. Kendall, I need to express my profound gratitude for your exceptional dedication and unwavering commitment to supporting veterans. Your efforts have been truly invaluable, and I am particularly appreciative of your consistent support and perseverance, especially during moments when challenges arose. Your steadfast commitment to my case made a significant and positive impact. I am absolutely certain that the favorable outcome would not have been possible without your remarkable hard work, comprehensive knowledge, and resolute persistence. Your expertise and tireless advocacy were instrumental in navigating the process successfully. Please accept my sincerest thanks for your invaluable assistance and all that you do. Sincerely, E.T. E.T.
I am still under the past presence of "Shock and Awe" after Attorney Megan Kondrachuk and the Sean Kendall Law Firm achieved securing a 100% disability award for myself with the VA. Bravo! Forty-five years of denials, and finally a win with a competent and accomplished attorney. Thank you for your diligence and passion for winning cases, against all odds. Kent
