What does representation cost?
Oakridge Claims focuses primarily on post-decision representation — appeals, Higher-Level Reviews, Supplemental Claims, and Board appeals — and builds every case on the record already in your file. It also takes initial claims and increases for worsened conditions based on case fit and current availability — a free, accredited VSO is always an option at that stage. For appeals and higher-level reviews, fees are contingent on awarded past-due benefits and are disclosed in writing before any work begins. VA presumes 20% is reasonable, but up to 33⅓% may be allowed if justified; Oakridge caps its fee at 20%
