Dedicated to Defending Those Who Served
When you’ve fought for your country, you shouldn’t have to fight alone for the benefits you’ve earned. At Good Attorney, we help veterans across Utah and the United States win their VA disability appeals with skill, honesty, and the same persistence that defines those who served.
Founded by Attorney Aaron Drake, a VA-accredited attorney, military veteran, and former JAG officer, our firm exists for one purpose: to make the VA do what it should have done the first time: treat veterans fairly.
Our Mission
To fight for veterans with the same courage and integrity they showed in serving our nation.
We believe that every veteran, from a Korean War Marine to a currently serving soldier, deserves:
- Clear answers, not government runaround.
- Respectful representation, not red tape.
- Full and fair compensation, not half-measures.
At Good Attorney, our work is about more than winning cases. It’s about restoring dignity, security, and peace of mind to those who’ve already given so much.
Who We Serve
We proudly represent veterans from every branch and every era, including:
- Korean War and Vietnam veterans
- Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan veterans
- Active-duty, Guard, and Reserve members
- Military retirees and surviving spouses
No matter your background or service era, you’ll get the same level of respect, personal attention, and professional advocacy.
Our Practice Focus
We specialize in VA disability law, and only VA disability law. That focus allows us to understand and anticipate the VA’s complex procedures better than firms that dabble in multiple areas.
Our key areas of representation include:
- VA Disability Appeals under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA)
- Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU)
- 100% Permanent & Total Ratings (P&T)
- PTSD & Military Sexual Trauma (MST) Claims
- Agent Orange & Toxic Exposure Claims
- Denied or Underrated Claims
- Back Pay & Effective Date Disputes
Whether you’re appealing a recent denial or reopening a decades-old claim, our firm provides the legal strategy, technical precision, and personal commitment needed to get it right.
Why Veterans Choose Good Attorney
1. Led by Experience You Can Trust. Attorney Aaron Drake brings decades of experience in military and VA law — and the perspective of a combat-deployed veteran who’s lived the challenges of service. He understands the VA’s process, its rules, and its blind spots because he’s spent years navigating and challenging them on behalf of fellow veterans.
2. Proven Results Nationwide. We’ve helped veterans secure life-changing ratings, years of back pay, and full recognition for their service-connected disabilities. Many clients come to us after years of frustration and leave with the outcome they deserved from the start.
3. Straight Talk, No Jargon. We explain the law in plain English. You’ll always know what’s happening, what to expect, and how we’re fighting for you.
4. Compassionate Advocacy, Zero Upfront Fees. We don’t charge veterans until we win. If you’ve been denied or underrated, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by working with a VA-accredited attorney who truly understands the system.
A Mission Born of Service
Attorney Drake’s own deployment to Iraq, and years of working alongside service members as a Judge Advocate, inspired the creation of this firm. He’s seen the toll that service can take on veterans and families, and he’s committed to making sure that no veteran is forgotten or mistreated by the system built to support them.
Serving Veterans Nationwide, Based in Utah
Good Attorney is proud to call Salt Lake City, Utah home. From here, we represent clients across the country through secure digital communication, video consultations, and direct access to VA systems.
No matter where you live, if the VA denied or underrated your claim, we can help.
