The Gregory M. Rada Scholarship For Helping Veterans

After Service LLC is committed to helping disabled veterans successfully appeal denials for VA disability compensation. We also represent surviving spouses who have been denied Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC). Our firm focuses on disabled veterans who are unemployable due to psychiatric conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia but we are here to help other veterans’ needs.

Attorney Gregory Rada has been advocating for disabled veterans and their families for more than a decade. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a disabled veteran himself, Attorney Rada has first-hand experience with how complex and frustrating the disability claims process can be. It took eight years from filing his initial claim to finally having his claim approved with the help of a VA benefits lawyer. After going through this process himself, he became dedicated to helping expedite denied claims to get disabled veterans the financial support they deserve.

In keeping with our firm’s commitment to advocating for disabled veterans and their families, we are proud to announce The Gregory M. Rada Scholarship for Helping Veterans. This scholarship is intended for aspiring lawyers and other advocates who have a career goal of helping veterans. It is our hope that through this scholarship, current and soon-to-be students will be able to seek the education necessary to become part of the next generation of legal professionals.
