Lieutenant Commander Don D. Johnson Jr. (Ret.) is an accredited attorney for the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for veteran’s benefits and appeals before the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

Many veterans are unaware of the benefits that they have earned.  Mr. Johnson is very familiar with veteran's benefits as he is a veteran himself.  Mr. Johnson is also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. 

He has assisted veterans with their disability benefits, appeals, college tuition for their children and several other legal issues. 

If your claim for VA benefits is rejected or you did not receive a rating that you feel is fair, you have the option of appealing the decision.  Mr. Johnson has experience and training that can be put to use for your claim or appeal.  However, certain time limits apply and it is important to act before they expire. 

By law, organizations and individuals must have VA permission, referred to in the law as "recognition" or "accreditation," to represent Veterans before the Department in their claims for VA benefits. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that Veterans have qualified and competent representation. Please feel free to check his status as a VA qualified attorney at this website: http://www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp.  Just type in Donny Johnson. 

Mr. Johnson is licensed to practice law in New Mexico and California, and is in good standing in the states, courts, and agencies in which he is authorized to practice or appear for clients.

Mr. Johnson offers a free initial consultation for legal issues involving veteran benefits.
