“I was an ARMY vet who suffered an injury during my service which has given me issues throughout my time in the ARMY and my Career as a Firefighter civilian for the ARMY leading to my medical retirement. Dealing with the V.A. was a Minefield of misinformation and disappointments. Finally I gave my claim and trust to the folks at Greene & Marusak to forge these murky waters for me. I was very optimistic about my conversations with the team and the information they provided made me feel at ease with them handling my case. I was pleasantly surprised to be awarded Permanent and Total under TDIU as I am unable to work and schedulelar 80% rated. This decision has made my life a little bit easier and my state of mind knowing My V.A. care is acknowledged and static. Thank you for your help and peace of mind.”  – Chad N.

Lawyer took time on phone, not hurried, answered questions and told of next move as in re-filing etc. Had to re-file several times, but they got it done. Now I can continue on with my life. No worries about income any more. Thank you. Greene & Marusak.”  – Kevin H. US Airforce

“Loved working with the Greene & Marusak crew. Always had a positive conversation with the team. All other attempts to get my 100% rating failed. I struggled for years with the VA. Using Greene & Marusak it only took a month. I have referred them to several vets. Thank you for your integrity and pit bull attitude “which means don't give up”. Thanks for all you do.” – Michael W.

“My interaction with Greene & Marusak was great. And the help I received was a major life saver. As a partial result of current events, I lost my livelihood. Seeking help when I did literally saved my life. The entire process of working with my representative at Greene & Marusak went smoothly. Greene & Marusak was ferocious to protect its client (me); most notably during the appeals process. It helps to have a motivated party on your side. This coupled with the professional process made the experience almost painless. For me, the Greene & Marusak representation was worth it.” – Kemal

“Greene & Marusak did an outstanding job of representing me and my issues. The entire staff was thoughtful, sincere, and listened to me. They skillfully navigated some very complex claims with positive results. The firm did a wonderful job of communicating with me, managing my expectations, and understanding that the VA is confusing and not forthcoming with a lot of information. Greene & Marusak did a great job of keeping me informed and encouraged through the process. I intend on sharing my experience with other veterans who have challenges with the VA.” – Mark V.

“To my fellow Vets that are looking for legal representation for their disability claims, I highly recommend Green & Marusak. I can’t begin to tell you how well all staff treated me through this complicated process. They explained how all the intricacies worked in easy to understand language. Thanks so much to everyone at Greene & Marusak” – Larry F.

“Thank you very much to Greene & Marusak, for your excellent representation in my recent VA appeals. Last fall, 2023, I received a denial decision from VA, for two types of cancer, with very debilitating residuals. My military service was completed, 40 years ago. I first contacted Hill and Ponton. Fortunately, they provided this very helpful referral for me, to Greene & Marusak! Within two months of receiving my case, Attorney Courtney Ross, secured Service Connection for my cancers. Ms. Ross, successfully appealed further, and I was awarded Permanent and Total, TDIU benefits last month, June 2024. Thank you to Attorney Ross and the Paralegal staff for your expertise and support in securing VA benefits for me, in “record time”. I deeply appreciate all of the extra efforts by the entire team at Greene & Marusak.” – Carolyn T. US Air Force

“I highly recommend the law firm, Greene &Marusak, to veterans needing help. I’m a Vietnam veteran and because of their extensive knowledge and experience with the VA claims system they were able to get me a 100% rating. I am forever grateful for all of their help. I would like to thank the team there, they always returned my calls and emails promptly. This is a very good law firm. THANK YOU” – Charles G.

Thank you to everyone at the firm.” – Arnold R.

“I am writing this letter today to thank you and your team for representing me, and for fighting in court against the Department of Veterans Affairs for me. From the first day that your office took on my case you explained clearly what I should expect from your office as far as your representation is concerned. I have to say that you did not just settle for a quick response nor a quick payoff. You took the time to review my files and rejected what the VA thought was the quickest way for them to win. You fought back in order for them to realize how serious my situation is really like. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up against the VA, because our voices need to be heard and not just tucked away. I am honored to have had your firm represent me, and will gladly give any other Veteran your name and telephone number so that they too will have the opportunity to have you represent them. I would also like to take this time to thank your staff for all their hard work and communications with me. They kept me well up to date on everything throughout the entire process. They were very professional and caring about doing the right thing along with the people they work for and for us Veterans. Thank you once again!” – Luis R.

“After contending with the Veteran Administration for several years, we were at the end of claims, appeals and actions to advance my disability awards. We turned to Mr. Marusak for help. As soon as he began work on our case, positive things began to happen, culminating after just over a year, in a total and permanent disability award. Over that year, Mr. Marusak and his staff kept us informed and reassured at every step. We could not be happier with his efforts and results. We would whole-heartedly recommend this firm to anyone attempting to navigate the VA disability and awards bureaucracy.” – John & Rachelle T.

“After years of attempting to fight through the VA system and get my 100%, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed a professional organization who would be aggressive and not quit until it was achieved. Green & Marusak came through and in more ways than one - denial, appeal, supplemental claim, expert testimonial, whatever it took, they tirelessly pursued my case until we achieved victory. I will admit, at one point, I had my doubts, but they showed up in a clutch situation... I am now at the 100% rate that I have deserved for many years. And I would highly recommend them to any of my Veteran brothers and sisters…” – Shawn G. SGT(P) US Army

“The sad truth is that I am a Veteran with PTSD all for being honest. I never got rated right when I got out. It took 30 years for me to get the courage to really fight for what I deserve. Yes, 30 years it took to be validated. Is this not sad? The only real shinning star in this whole deal was Greene & Marusak. They saw that I was being honest and they took my claim and appeal. Due to all of the VA’s loop holes they were able to win. I will be honest, someone should have fully helped me back when I first went to the VA in August of 1994. As a Veteran with PTSD it is really hard to find help. I do believe if I knew getting a lawyer was the only way that I could get the 100 % disability, I would have done this sooner. That is the fact, that took it me years to get help for my condition. I want to thank Greene & Marusak for taking my claim and really doing the best they could and really winning for me. It took 30 years for someone to do the right thing. Greene & Marusak did the right thing. My sincere thanks.” – VPV

“I would highly recommend the law-firm of Greene & Marusak, and specifically Attorney Dan Marusak to any veteran contemplating a disability claim with the Veterans Administration; particularly so if the claim is complex or controversial. Dan first filed a disability claim for me after I was diagnosed with cancer in the spring of 2011. The claim was denied because I had served aboard ship in Tonkin Gulf but had no proof of record that I had been ashore in Vietnam despite the fact that I had done so in connection with my duties. Dan persisted and continued to file claims in my behalf, eventually he succeeded in securing a 10 percent disability for hearing loss. We continued to pursue the cancer claim with a new filing in 2019; after that claim was also denied, Dan persisted and was able to secure a hearing with a law judge, whom we were able to convince, that I had, indeed, visited Vietnam on several occasions. The VA then accepted my service-connected claim but granted a zero percent disability attributed to the cancer; they claimed my symptoms resulted from a different medical condition. Dan then solicited a letter from my physician affirming that my symptoms were, in all probability, attributable to my cancer. Success, I was awarded 100 percent disability dating from my 2019 claim. Dan was not satisfied with that and continued to pursue the claim to date from the original 2011 filing. Dan was able to win a 100 % disability for me including nearly 13 years of back compensation. I will be forever grateful for the tenacity and persistence of Dan Marusak and his firm of Greene & Marusak” – Bill N.

“I want to thank the Greene & Marusak team for their representation. They are truly a great veteran disability representation team that gets the job done! What I couldn’t do in three years, they were able to do in 6 months! Thank you Green & Marusak and the entire team for assisting me. You have definitely blessed my life and family! Thank you very much!” – Jemal Q. US Navy

“The purpose of this letter is to both praise and recommend your organization for the outstanding work performed on my behalf. I have been attempting to have my VA rating increased since 1999 without any success. Earlier this year I was put in contact with Greene & Marusak assigned a team to review my file, prepare documentation and submit for a Higher Level review. 100 days later I was increased to 100% total and permanent status back dated two years. I highly recommend Greene and Marusak to any Veteran having difficulties in receiving their proper valuation from the Veteran Administration.” – Tracy L.
