Hill & Ponton Client Success Stories

Over $300 million recovered for over 30,000 veterans

Thank you to the firm of Hill & Ponton!!  Brian Hill and his staff were able to get my 100% disability with the VA for my exposure to herbicides in Thailand. I have been fighting for this for many years and kept getting denied, after consulting with Hill & Ponton I decided to let them help me and it was the best decision I could have made. I found their professionalism to be outstanding.
