This presentation will cover how to enter into a fee agreement with your client, recent changes to the process resulting from passage of the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act, and important court cases that govern this area. When can an attorney or agent enter into a fee agreement and what fees are permissible under the statute? What is the difference between a withholding and non-withholding fee agreement? In addition to these topics, Robert and Lindy will discuss when and where fee agreements must be filed, as well as how and when VA reviews agreements. Samples will be provided.
