What is a Claim Shark?

A Claim Shark is someone that takes advantage of veterans and their families by charging fees to “Consult” or “Assist” with their VA Claim. These Claim Sharks attempt to charge fees that are sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars for their exploitative and unethical practices. Claim Sharks are not VA accredited, meaning they aren’t required to stick to the ethical standards that accreditation brings so their advice can often be misleading or even fraudulent.
