Karl Kazmierczak was hired to represent my mother with her claims appeals with the BVA. It was impossible to even speak with Karl for well over a year. I always had spoken with his mother Christine until I threatened to fire Karl and retain another law group that would be more aggressive with handling the delay tactics of the BVA. Karl also held onto a very important piece of our case that could have settled everything in our appeal process very early on! My mother had received an award letter for the aid and attendance dated effective as of August 26, 2016. Karl knowing how severe my mothers medical and financial hardships were didn't do a thing to demand payments on the awarded aid and attendance! Karl also failed to get myself (Mother's caregiver) my full 100% monthly stipend for family caregiver of $30,000 a year! These amounts would have saved health issues, and extremely valuable personal properties that we lost in storage! These claims were originally filed by my late father that was diagnosed terminally ill in March of 2011. He was the original claimant for multiple claims. My father was a nearly twenty five year three war Veteran who was exposed to Agent Orange during his Vietnam war service. The VA waited for my father to die so that they could deny all claims! They falsified his DD-214 putting him stateside, and Karl did not do anything about this fact either! Karl had so much information that could have sunk the BVA once and for all, but failed on all of it! The aid and attendance award letter was the ace under the sleve, and Karl intentionally kept ahold of it without ever presenting it with a demand of payment! I know what this looks like to me! Karl lied about his reasons for not doing anything with the award letter multiple times! He stated first that he was told that the award letter was never sent until I told him that I had a hard copy in my posession! Then he told me that it was not an award letter for aid and attendance but a denial letter for service connection for cause of death. After this lie, he went with cause of death has to be established first before the aid and attendance can be granted. I called him out on these cover up lies, and his final attempt to save himself was telling me that it will come when the DIC is awarded! Fact of the matter is he lied about multiple things regarding his holding onto the award letter for so long! My mother has been receiving the widows pension so the aid and attendance was awarded but never honored by the VA to date! Seems like Karl was intentionally holding back from demanding payment so that the valuable accrued benefits would build up to make his 20% retaining fee that much more money in his pocket! Now Karl will be answering to both the state bar and a legal malpractice lawsuit! There is so much more that Karl failed miserably on, but it would take many hours to explain and type out! Karl Kazmierczak should be throughly ashamed of himself for the fraudulent non aggressive behavior he provided along with putting both myself and mother through massive amounts of stress and hell on earth! Karl will be answering for his actions in every single way possible! Forget to mention that Karl quit on us after figuring out what I was getting to, and before I could fire him! He waived his 20% retaining fee for obvious reasons of knowing that he screwed up badly! We also received the remand letter from the BVA today. The Veterans Law Judge should have granted ALL claims and then some! Instead, he remanded the claims back to the RO to provide further information on service connection cause of death! The Judge should have read the brief from Karl, my mother, and myself stating the fraudulent changes to my father's DD-214! Instead, he sent them back to the RO! Plus there was my father's statement dated from 2016 stating that he was stationed a U - Tapao Royal Thai Air Force Base along with a buddy statement backing up my father's own personal statement! Shame on the VA, BVA, and Karl Kazmierczak!!!

I am a veteran who had expelled all my options with the V A . In doing so I had talked to a lot of vets on how to navigate an appeal. Left somewhat overwhelmed I decided a lawyer was the first step to take. I looked for local help with no luck and then decided to go with a lawyer close to the V A in D C to try the appeal process. I found Kazmierczak and Kazmierczak online and thought give them a call. I was put in touch with Kristine. What a beautiful soul this lady is she navigated the whole process for me all the while I found out that I had made an impression on her . She took it personally to see that I was going to be ok with the process. Low and behold I was granted my decision in record time without the hassle of trial or video streaming and was awarded my benefit. I was extremely pleased with my decision to connect with this Law firm. I am confident in knowing I made a solid decision by hiring Kazmierczak And Kazmierczak for my appeal process . Thank y’all for believing in a lost soul who’s options were very slim. If you are needing Representation for your appeal give these folks a call. God Bless America and God Bless our troops.
