What Steven Nappier may charge
Free help and fee rules. Accredited VSO assistance is free. Attorneys and claims agents may not charge for preparing or filing an initial VA benefits claim. They may generally charge for review after the claimant receives notice of VA’s initial decision, subject to the applicable rules and a written fee agreement.
The 20% limit applies to fees paid directly by VA from past-due benefits. It is not a universal cap on other arrangements, which must be reasonable. Ask how fees and expenses work, what happens if the claim is unsuccessful, and where the agreement must be filed.
U.S. federal benefits representation; sources checked October 7, 2026: VA fee guidance and 38 CFR 14.636. Court representation and individual fee disputes require separate review.
Before you sign with anyone
- Confirm the accreditation yourself on the VA’s official accreditation search. This page mirrors that list; the VA’s copy is the authority.
- Ask what happens to the fee if you lose, and get the fee agreement in writing.
- Ask who will actually handle the claim — the person you spoke to, or someone else.
- Ask what evidence they intend to develop. A representative who never asks about your service history or your treatment records is not building a claim.
- Talk to a free VSO first. Alabama has 120 accredited VSO representatives, and they can file the same initial claim at no cost.
