What Savanna Polimeni may charge

Accredited attorneys and claims agents may not charge for preparing your initial claim. A fee may only be charged after the VA issues a decision and you file an appeal or a supplemental claim, and the fee agreement has to be filed with the VA (38 CFR § 14.636). Fees are commonly a percentage of retroactive benefits — 20% is typical and 33⅓% is the outer edge of what the VA presumes reasonable. Nothing about being on the accreditation list sets or endorses a rate; ask for the fee agreement in writing before you sign.

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. Michigan has 320 accredited VSO representatives, and they can file the same initial claim at no cost.
