5 stars does not begin to express the rating Patriot Advisors (PA) deserve. The team there is awesome and extremely responsive to the veteran's needs. The process is very fast and the team at PA is well versed in their craft. I cannot thank them enough for the professionalism and willingness to assist in taking care of our nation's veterans. To top it all off, the cost to hire PA to assist with your benefit submissions is very reasonable compared to other companies. They truly care about each veteran and their claim. Thank you PA for being such an AWESOME company to work with.

I highly recommend Patriot Advisors to any Veteran seeking professional assistance with the claims filing process. Throughout the entire process the team maintained clear, transparent, and timely communication with me. I was consistently kept informed at every stage of the process and any questions I had were promptly and thoroughly addressed. Patriot Advisors had a comprehensive understanding involved in navigating the claims process. As Veterans we know filing a claim can be daunting, complex and stressful. In my experience, Patriot Advisors provided thorough guidance and steadfast support, which greatly assisted me to navigate the process. Their attention to detail was definitely observed. The step-by-step approach, supporting documentation, NEXUS letter and DBQ were helpful on my claim. Their structured and methodical process enabled me to effectively advocate in the claims process. The team at Patriot Advisors are definitely professionals. They consistently prioritized my concerns and handled them with diligence and integrity. They were candid and realistic in their guidance and committed to the best possible outcome on my behalf. They’re for the Veterans to assist in the claims process. For any Veteran looking for knowledgeable and reliable assistance with your claims process, I strongly encourage you to consider Patriot Advisors. Thank you Patriot Advisors!!

Jamie Rigoni, PA-C, is a U.S. Army veteran and military-trained Physician Assistant with extensive clinical experience in emergency medicine, primary care, and general surgery. He enlisted in the Army as a medic in 2005 and later graduated from the Interservice Physician Assistant Program in 2011. Over more than a decade of medical practice, Jamie has treated thousands of patients with complex medical conditions. His background as both a veteran and a medical provider gives him a practical understanding of the challenges veterans face when documenting medical evidence for VA disability claims. After serving a tour in the Middle East in 2021, Jamie personally went through the VA claims process. That experience reinforced how difficult the system can be for veterans who are trying to identify all claimable conditions, understand secondary medical issues, and present complete evidence to the VA. At Patriot Advisors, Jamie assists veterans by reviewing medical records, evaluating claim-related conditions, and helping identify medical evidence that may support VA disability benefits. His combined military and clinical background allows him to approach each veteran’s case with practical insight, medical precision, and a clear understanding of the VA claims process.

Used Patriot Advisors twice now and both times they delivered exactly what was planned. Nexus letters and DBQs came through solid and helped me move the needle on my claims. These guys know their stuff and they are responsive when you reach out. One thing I will say: they are straight shooters. No hand-holding, no sugarcoating. They will tell you what you need to hear whether you like it or not. I appreciated that. Veterans who need someone to shoot straight will get along fine here. My advice: still keep a VSO in your corner, but the moment you need a nexus letter, contact Patriot Advisors. Do not wait. Highly recommend.

The guys over at PATRIOT ADVISORS are TOO LEGIT! I searched and searched for VSO’s and whoever I thought could help with little to no help and was told they could do nothing for me and my claims so I dug deeper and started looking at lawyers and found out theyre just money hungry grubs feeding off of veterans and only care about getting paid but then I found PATRIOT ADVISORS. Was a little skeptic at first but I reached out and had a conversation with Jason the owner whos is the most kindest most humble man and will do whatever he can to help you and after that I knew they were my guys! I paid to have my records reviewed and was told that they could help me. I paid to have a DBQ done and for my nexus letter and it was just a short week or so and had everything back and ready to file my supplemental claim. I filed with their intructions and in just 3 short days I had a decision!! The claim was so tight knit that the VA had no questions or arguements! I am now 100% PERMANENT AND TOTAL!! Took 14 years to get here! Thank you PATRIOT ADVISORS for helping me get that last 10% and not taking tons of my back pay! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PATRIOT ADVISORS TO ANY VETERAN NEEDING HELP WITH THEIR CLAIMS! I will def be spreading the word! GOD BLESS!

Each step of the process with Patriot Advisors was very smooth and the staff was great to work with. I was skeptical about companies that provide VA assistance being fraudulent and just after veteran's money. During my review of two diagnosis', I have they advised me that one of the diagnosis' was not worth pursuing. This gave me the confidence that they were not just after my money. Everything I needed for my claim was delivered very quickly. After my VSO submitted the claim, I had an approved claim in less than two weeks. If I need assistance again with a claim, I will definitely be contacting them again.

Patriot Advisors provided exceptional support and truly cared about helping me through the VA process. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication made a difficult journey much easier. If you’re a veteran struggling with the VA system, I highly recommend Patriot Advisors. They genuinely care, and it shows. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe how grateful my family and I are for Patriot Advisors!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Patriot Advisors. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping veterans navigate the claims process. When I first started working with them in late 2024, I had a 0% service-connected disability rating. As of May 2026, I am now rated at 100%. While every claim is different, I firmly believe that without the guidance and support of Jason, Laura, and their entire team, I would not have achieved the outcome I did. Their nexus letters are extremely thorough and well-supported with relevant medical literature, laws, and regulations. If you need a private DBQ, they can help with that as well. Throughout the process, they were responsive, professional, and willing to answer questions whenever I needed assistance. One thing that really stood out to me was their honesty. They are not simply trying to sell services. If they don't believe a condition is medically supportable or related to your claim, they will tell you. That level of integrity is hard to find and gave me confidence that they truly had my best interests in mind. Their pricing is straightforward and based on the services you choose, allowing you to decide what level of assistance best fits your needs. If you're a veteran looking for help with your VA claim, I highly recommend Patriot Advisors. My experience with them has been outstanding, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me.
