Many to include myself struggled with the VA for quite a while, many did not survive the wait. A fellow Marine, a good friend, and a Brother told me of a group that he had found to represent him and that group was Gumps. After sometime they’re thorough representation and raport I was finally able to put some issues behind me. In closing I would definitely recommend this group to assist any veteran in processing their issues with the VA.

"Thank you, Thank you! You have changed the life of my husband Rickey Ned Bloomer, so happy you won a settlement for him. he is a changed man and his depression decreased. He finally has hope for The future but his health is so bad I’m not sure he will live long enough to enjoy the extra money. he has bought a car that he can drive his electric scooter into + have more mobility + he has money in his pocket to do whatever he wants to do He is a conservative person so he will not waste the money. So happy to see him happy, thank you!"

I just want to say how pleased we are with the services we received from Gumps VA compensation. Mark was immediately granted 90 percent disability after Gumps submitted all the paperwork. The process was efficient and easy for us. The staff at Gumps was always available for any and all questions that we had and very nice and friendly to us. We would highly recommend them to any and all veterans that are struggling with the VA to reach a compensation decision.
Thanks again Gump!

I appreciate what your firm has done for me, and my disability. Before your firm got involved, I was unsuccessful in getting more than 60 percent service connection. However because of your legal efforts with handling my case/claims, I was recently awarded a full 100 percent disability. This would not have been possible without your help

Allan, This award decision has been a long time process. You had faith in me from our initial contact years ago. You kept my claim process moving along even though I was discouraged at times. You knew what to do and when to do it. You and your staff did an outstanding job in the success of receiving this award for my condition that changed my life over 20 years ago. Thank you for everything you and your staff have done. I am grateful for the hard work you have put into this claim for the success that it is. I hope to keep in touch with you and your staff, especially Don, in the future. Sincerely

He cut through the red tape went straight for the objective and wouldn’t take no for an answer he will always be my man and God bless him and his organization

I would like to thank you once again for your success in the approval of my recent award decision. When we last spoke, you were pursuing other issues on my behalf. This decision took a long time and there were many denials by the VA concerning my cancer.
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in July 2000. I was operated on shortly thereafter for cancer tumors.
I took sick leave and used vacation pay at the Postal Service through 2001. During this time, there were more cancer surgeries. There were BCG treatments and several operations to try to stop the tumors. In October 2002 I had to have the removal of my bladder, prostate and some small intestine. Many rounds of chemotherapy followed. I did not plan to retire, however I could not support my wife and family on no pay and having to buy my health care benefits in full from the USPS.
I was retired from December 2001 – April 2006 and went to work for the Town of Watertown, as the Deputy Fire Marshal.
After reading over the award decision, I don’t understand why the VA did not go back to when I was first diagnosed with cancer in 2000. The award only went back to August 2005. I realize there is much I do not understand how the VA arrives at the decisions they do, this is not to be taken as disappointment in what you and Allen have accomplished. My gratitude is overwhelming.
My present evaluation is 90% based on 60% for loss of a major organ, 10% for tinnitus, 70% for PTSD, I believe these are correct. In the near future, I was told that I will need reconstructive surgery for reposition of the stoma.
Thank you once again for the help and also for being there when I needed you.
Should you need to contact me, (203) 509 1790 is the best number to use.

Hello Angel, so glad to hear from you. Mr. Held and crew really worked hard and tirelessly on my behalf. Of all my years, I've never had anyone work so hard on my behalf. I can finally start putting my financial life back together. This is the real " Dream Team". Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

I contacted Gumps VA compensation Services after a friend recommended me to do so. I spoke to a representative and she listened to my concerns about health issues that started to occur after my service. They provided me with the information and documentation to fill out and from there they took care of everything. I truly am surprised what they were able to do for me and now I have the benefits that I was originally denied. They truly worked hard for me finding scientific studies to prove my military related health issues. I would like to thank them for everything they have done for me and my family.

From a veteran point of view. We need people like Mr. Held and Ms. Ashley because they care, about us veterans, that put their lives on the line to put a blanket of freedom over our country. There are the ones that are the heroes because they make sure that our veteran and their families are taken care of. I was just a sailor going to sea for twenty (20) of service. When got time for me to retire from the Navy, I did know what was going to happen and how I was going to feed and take care of my family. I had bills to pay, and I was in a lot of pain from the problems that I got from being in the Navy. The only money that was coming in at the time was my military retirement and that was not a lot. Mr. Held and Ms. Ashely help me get 100% disability and it put me in the position to pay my bills and feed my family. Hero - a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Mr. Held and Ms. Ashely are heroes and they meet all the qualities of a hero. Thank you, Mr. Held and Ms. Ashely for being my hero

Good Morning Angel and Victoria,
Upon contacting Gump's Legal I was hesitant from starting another system to get my VA disability (ies) approved.

Angel Bolen is my intake specialist and walked me through the process. Stayed with me one the phone as I messed up many forms and corrected my errors (thank God the internet doesn't show white out). I was assigned a case manager, Victoria Taylor, an attorney, Candace Bennett, and a new outlook on "how to" process VA claims. Next is my case manager, Victoria Taylor walking me the follow up from intake, reviewing documents, asking questions and completing more forms. My verbiage, we didn't have to wait for me to type the responses. We'd still be waiting for the keyboard to cool down from me "TAPPING" the keys (LOL).
My initial contact with my attorney was scheduled within 60 days of initial contact, however due to circumstances out of our control we rescheduled for 60 days later (now 4 months from initial contact. CAndace Bennett changed my perspective on how I viewed the process and brought me in-line with how the VA processors view the process. Within 20 days of phone contact with my attorney, I had two C&P exams to attend, 60 days from initial contact with my attorney the portion of claims input & processed have been approved.
We are still in process with the last portion of claims, however this is good. We are moving forward one step at a time and I have been in for two more C&P exams which came out favorable for me according to the examiners. We are just waiting for the VA to process and return their findings.
I have recommended Gump's Legal to friends and would highly recommend Gumps Legal to veterans struggling to get their disabilities approved through the VA.

Thank you Gump's Legal.

My husband (Christopher Johnson) and I were referred to you all by Raven Jones and we are extremely fortunate and blessed to have received her recommendation. She was so sweet and pleasant during the intake process and made sure we completely understood the ins and outs of the entire process and how it would work. She reached out frequently to make sure we submitted all necessary paperwork and documents to ensure a successful process and prevent any delays with our claim. She is truly a gem and you all are very lucky to have her on your team. I truly hope she is compensated appropriately for her work. Great job you all.

I will try to keep my experience less lengthy because I can talk! Especially about BEES and Honey, including Hives for Heros! I first heard of Gumps VA (2023) from a combat Viet Nam Marine who had become frustrated with results on His claims handling by others. We were at the Conroe VA clinic. The Marine was told about Gumps and went there and within months He had His deserved benefits. I also was frustrated with the Montgomery County Texas rep on site at the VA clinic. She stated "you weren't even in Combat!" Like She had been in the Mid East. Needless to say there wasn't much done by Her for me. She filed an "intent to file" and that was it in 2009. I'm a "Viet Nam Era" veteran. I had some life changing injuries Here in the states while on active duty! both in travel and later a parachute failure! My Father recommended joining the DAV as a life member, He did after WW2 and appreciated their representation. I took His advice and joined in 1976. I was honorably discharged 10/75 with 10% on my DD214. I sought medical care at the Houston VA Hospital for Service connected treatment. When I was scheduled for a "Means Test" upon arrival for a scheduled appt at the VA medical clinic in 2002. I decided it was time to file for VA benefits, the DAV processed and I was awarded 20%! In 2022 my neighbor who is a 100% Mid East war vet "helped me file" fill out an updated claim. In 2022 I was awarded up to 30%. I was a little frustrated with the result, I remembered my conversation with the Marine Viet Nam vet. I sought out Gumps VA and physically went to their office in Conroe. I filled out their paperwork and they became my representative for VA claims that was 1/2023. Paperwork, emails and mail started moving. VA Exams started. I received a VA denial and I rushed over to Gumps office, I felt they should drop everything and address my concerns. That was probably the day I noticed the 2 huge piles of physical mail, I asked the receptionist what all that mail was. She told me that was the morning delivery, that was the copy the VA sent to Gumps, usually 10 days after I received my copy. I commented it looked like hundreds. She told me there will be another delivery in the afternoon". It was probably then, I realized it all has to be read and dealt with. The Office manager came out to see what I had come there for. We discussed my denial and my concern. What I came to realize it's a first in first out system. Would I want someone to come in and be placed ahead of me. To start to sum this up, there has been much activity towards the VA and back towards me, Including Exams and denials. Gumps has never given up, with appeals, supplemental and more evidence. The bottom line I was "awarded" 70% 3/25. Then again 90% with individual unemployability 8/25. It took time, It was worth it! About 50 years!! Gumps VA may be headquartered in Conroe Texas, although they are located across the US. You don't have to physically go there, online, and emails work.
Response from the owner:Thank you John, great working with you.

I cannot thank Gump VA Services enough for everything they did for me and my family. What started as a 20% disability rating turned into a 100% disability rating because of their dedication, persistence, and hard work over more than 12 years. Throughout the entire process, Gump VA never gave up on my case. They stayed on top of every appeal and guided me step by step through everything I needed to do. They helped coordinate appointments, explained the process clearly, and walked me through visits with several doctors to make sure my case was fully documented and properly handled. The team was always professional, knowledgeable, and supportive during a very long and frustrating journey. Staying with Gump VA Services was truly life changing financially for me and my family. Because of them, I finally received the benefits I deserved. If you are a veteran struggling with the VA claims process, I highly recommend Gump VA Services. Their commitment and determination made all the difference for me.

There are no words in any language or dictionary that can express my appreciate and gratitude to Mr. Bradley and his staff for what they accomplished for me. His care and concern to ensure I received what I had earn is just remarkable. I will forever be grateful. Thank you so very much Gumps VA Compensation Services.
I was introduced to Gumps from a C&P examination doctor after sharing my fustrations with her on obtaining 100% disability. The doctor told me she heard about Gumps over the years and stated everyone she spoke to who used the services was granted their 100%. I started working with Gumps in Sept 2024 and Nov 2025 I was granted 100%. I would always tell my husband that Gumps legel services were silent snipers LOL. I would rarely hear from them but when I did it was typically an email with an update and I always knew they were working when I would have scheduled C & P exams come through the mail which kept me confident they were actually fighting for me. Shanda was always very helpful and would respond to any questions or concerns in a timely manner and Angel and Brandon provided updates as well. I am grateful for the legal team and I have recommneded them to muliple veteran's I know who are still fighting for their 100% disability rating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gumps VA Compensation Services did an excellent job! I was finally able to be seen and heard and cut through all the VA red tape. As a veteran, it’s hard to know how to handle certain situations, but Gumps has specialists who truly fight for you and know the VA language we don’t. They caught mistakes the VA overlooked and made sure my case stayed on track instead of just moving on. They gave me the attention and support I needed — highly recommend!
