Attorney Chris Attig is a veteran himself, having served in the U.S. Army on active duty from 1993 - 1997, and in the reserves from 1997 to 2004. Mr. Attig was honorably discharged in 2004 as a Captain. He spent his time at a variety of posts around the U.S. and overseas - Ft. Bragg, Ft. Benning, Ft. Sill, Ft. Hood, and Camp Casey (Korea), to name a few. Mr. Attig is a graduate of U.S. Army Airborne School, and attended U.S. Army Ranger School. He knows the jargon of the military, he understands how things worked in the military, and he has a firm belief that even as a Veteran, he is still responsible for looking after the soldiers, sailors and airmen - enlisted, NCO and officer - that continue to serve our nation.
As a lawyer, Chris Attig has spent his career learning how to navigate the tangled web of government bureaucracy. He has clerked for, and served as an advocate for County governments, the Texas State Judiciary, and a Federal Executive Agency. As a private attorney, he has helped hundreds of Federal employees recover their jobs, and helped employees of nearly every Federal government agency recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in back-pay and other compensatory and consequential damages.
Mr. Attig is continuously trying to add more attorneys to the VA Benefits and Disability Compensation Practice Area. He speaks at least twice a year at conferences for Veterans Advocates, Attorneys and Judges. He currently mentors 3 attorneys beginning their practice in the representation of Veterans seeking their VA Disability Compensation and the VA Benefits to which they are entitled.
While Mr. Attig - indeed, no attorney - can guarantee that you will win your VA disability compensation or benefits claim, Mr. Attig does guarantee that throughout the battle, you will have a “tried-and-true” soldier and advocate by your side.
