Dan Shawl is smart, honest and he cares about veterans like me. He helped me obtain disability benefits, which I would not have received without his expert help. Dan asked all the right questions and he helped me prepare for my interview. He also involved my two sons who wrote letters to VA about my health history. Without Dan Shawl’s guidance my claim would have been ignored. Speaking from recent, personal experience, I give my highest recommendation to Dan Shawl.
Dan Shawl is one of us. he served and continues to serve. Dan had been a true gentleman and he's an effective lawyer, too. Since asking Dan to take the reins on my VA claims in 2016, I've increased from 70% to 90%. Dan represented me effectively at a VA hearing and demonstrated detailed, personal knowledge of the system and the claims staff who handled cases at the regional office. He's an invaluable resource and a friend and supporter of fellow veterans and veteran charities. I recommend him without reservation and have recommended him to veteran family members, as well.

I submitted my initial claim with a different VSO in October of 2019 and found out that my claim was rejected a year later. For years I had been in chronic pain. For years I had been in and out of doctors appointments. So, you can imagine my shock and disbelief when my claims got rejected. I called up Michigan Veterans Law and I was appointed Attorney Pulley to help me file an appeal. Mr Pulley has been the game changer all us veterans need on our side. He was thorough, detailed, and extremely responsive. He coordinated paperwork, medical appointments, and even walked through the claims process with me. My appeal was successful and I was happy that the pain I had been going through was validated by the VA. From initial claims to appeals, the attorneys at MVL will help you get the results that you deserve. Thank you!
Working with Dan was great. I was referred to Dan by a friend that also knows Dan, and sure am glad I was. I started working my own self developed claim with a mountain of evidence and medical records. Even with all the evidence, I wasnt getting any results. This was because even with the evidence I didn't know the laws. I didn't know how to navigate the system or understand why I was getting nowhere. Thanks to Dan I recieved the results I was looking for and knew I had somebody looking out for me.
I would highly recommend MI Veterans law if you are dealing with the VA. I was referred by a friend (also military), my experience has been nothing but positive. Dan is very knowledge with the system and will take care if you. With my case I paid nothing out of pocket!
