Finding a VA lawyer overseas

Question:

Hello Mr. Strickland,
I just spoke to a lawyer and was informed that they nor any other lawyer state side will be able to help me as I live in Germany. Is this true and if so how can I get help? Thanks

I'd offer that you will want to speak with another lawyer. Or 10 more lawyers. VA cases and appeals aren't particularly concerned about where you live. Your accredited veterans lawyer can be in any state and you may never meet that person face to face. Veterans live all around the world and VA recognizes and supports that, as noted here.   

It may be a bit more awkward to represent you while you live abroad but with good Internet access, I'm not sure I see a problem.
