Tim served as a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps and trained troops from Mozambique to be peacekeepers in Somalia.
After seeing my friends and fellow Marines struggle with the VA, I knew that there was a pervasive issue with the benefits system. Any help that I can provide is deeply gratifying and personally rewarding.”

Andrew Thibault

U.S. Marine Corps

(803) 779-7599


Andrew is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former correctional officer. During law school, Andrew spent much of his time assisting veterans through a veterans legal assistance project.
When I came home from Iraq, I saw many veterans struggle to obtain the benefits they had earned. Many had given up on the process, leaving behind compensation and resources that could change their lives. I wanted to help them navigate that process. I want to ensure that we are not leaving anyone behind.

You Served Our Country. Now It’s Our Turn to Help You.

If you’ve already received a decision and your benefits do not match the severity of your injury or its impact on your daily life, our VA Disability team can help you appeal a VA Disability decision or walk you through the process of filing for VA Disability benefits, helping you to be fully prepared to explain your situation and prove your illness or injury is service-connected.
