Shrader & Associates is pleased to announce that attorney Ross Stomel has received accreditation with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as of May 22, 2023. This accreditation signifies Mr. Stomel’s commitment to providing exceptional legal representation and support to veterans and their families.
The VA accreditation process ensures that attorneys possess the necessary qualifications and expertise to assist veterans with their legal needs. To obtain this accreditation, attorneys must meet specific requirements and adhere to certain standards set by the VA. Mr. Stomel has successfully fulfilled these criteria, demonstrating his dedication to serving the veteran community.
As an accredited attorney, Ross Stomel has proven his standing as a trusted legal professional in the field of veterans’ affairs. He is authorized to provide representation and assistance to veterans in matters such as disability compensation claims, pension claims, survivor benefits, and other VA-related legal issues.
To maintain his accreditation, Mr. Stomel will continue to adhere to the VA’s guidelines. These include remaining in good standing before each department or agency and in each jurisdiction in which he is admitted to practice. Additionally, he is required to report any changes in his status of good standing within 30 days of such a change, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Continuing Legal Education (CLE) is another crucial aspect of VA accreditation. In his first year as an accredited attorney, Mr. Stomel has completed three hours of qualifying CLE courses on VA benefits. Going forward, he will certify that he has completed an additional three hours of qualifying CLE courses every two years. These courses are designed to enhance his knowledge and expertise in serving veterans effectively.
Ross Stomel will also abide by the VA’s standards of professional conduct for accredited individuals, as outlined in 38 C.F.R. § 14.632. These standards set the bar for ethical conduct, ensuring the highest level of professionalism in interactions with clients and the VA.
