I’m filing this motion to challenge the excessive fee paid to Glover-Luck Attorneys at Law, L.L.P., for breach of fiduciary responsibility and lack of knowledge of Veteran’s Administration disability laws and procedures.
I signed a 20-22a with Glover-Luck Law Firm January 21, 2020 to help me with my VA Disability claim that needed to go to Board of Veteran Appeals. During this time Glover-Luck refused to communicate updates about meeting appeal deadlines or respond to other questions. Glover-Luck filed the appeal May 1, 2021 with a filing deadline of May 2, 2021. During this time I had to initiate contact every two to three months for updates on submitting my appeal. On one such inquiry, Amanda Ascoli, attorney for Glover-Luck, admonished me when I called to inquire how the case was going. Ms. Ascoli told me, “Your calling for an updates keeps me from doing my work. Time I spend on the phone with you is time I could be doing something else.” After ending the call I was reeling and confused because I thought I was your work. With the deadline approaching and 90-100% of the appeals claim already completed by myself, I was terrible concerned about the delay, especially with no reasons given or offered.
I have little evidence of Glover-Luck communication after this event. Trying to communicate with my attorney became so futile, with no response to calls or voice mail messages, that I had to seek representation elsewhere. I choose a Veteran’s Service Officer, Stella Bartlett from Denton County Veteran’s Office. I terminated my relationship with Glover-Luck because of non-representation and no communication at a critical time in the case and Glover-Luck had to be released so Ms. Bartlett could represent me. Glover-Luck termination is dated February 7, 2022. Later I moved to Mena, Arkansas and made Donna Rice my VSO. Neither Ms. Bartlett nor Mrs. Rice seemed irritated with my inquiries.
Lack of knowledge of VA Disability Filing Procedures seems inconsistent for a VA Disability Claims attorney, i.e., someone in the Glover-Luck firm, don’t know who since I never got to talk to them, added a SEPARATE SECONDARY claim for un-employability. Because individual un-employability requires a minimum disability rating of 70%, when the Board of Veterans Appeals looked at the separate claim for un-employability, I had 0% disability rating and this claim was denied November 11, 2020. VSO Donna Rice concluded, that IF the un-employability claim had been attached to and summited with the PTSD, GERD and right knee injury claim, TDIU would have been awarded per the evidence sited for the 70% disability rating including;
1.) Difficulty in adapting to work like setting.
2.) Difficulty in adapting to work.
3.) Difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships.
4.) Occupational and social impairment due to symptoms that decrease work efficiency and ability to perform occupational tasks.
With the 70% disability rating granted, the BVA could and would have granted the additional 30% for TDIU per evidence stated. The monetary difference between the 70% rating and 100% rating for back pay from June 1, 2018 to February 5, 2024 comes to $98,227.29 plus monthly income increases from $1,716.28 to $3,7337. 85. That’s a lot of money to lose because your attorney was ineffectual, remiss and careless in their submission of documents and lack knowledge of VA Appeal protocols.
I demand a professional review of Glover-Luck, LLP and forfeiture of all fees.
