The Times West Virginian Covers the Predatory Claims Act

Post Published By Toby Heaney

I’m pleased to inform you that our ongoing efforts to address the issue of predatory practices targeting veterans have gained significant attention. A Times West Virginian article sheds light on the plight of veterans who fall victim to unscrupulous individuals, including lawyers, exploiting their vulnerabilities.

The article highlights distressing examples where veterans have been exploited, despite successfully obtaining their entitled benefits. It underscores the urgency of our mission to curb these predatory practices and protect our veterans from financial exploitation.

I am grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness of this critical issue and to work towards implementing measures to safeguard the rights and well-being of our veterans.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Toby Heaney Jr.
