I was referred to Andrew in 2012 after two failed attempts with the VA regarding my husband's death, age 56, in 1998. He was a USAF retiree Vietnam, physically and psychologically ill. So many years had passed. Andrew's knowledge of military law, his fortitude and the compassion he showed to me and our case kept me going. He is a fighter and persevered. His appeals were outstanding and October 2017 the VA sent a favorable decision of 100% service related disability at time of death. I was also to receive DIC and SBP proportionately. I then needed Andrew's intervention between the VA and DFAS as both said the other was to pay retroactive benefits and DFAS said no to SBP. Thanks to Drew, the VA provides 100% DIC monthly benefits and paid the retroactive benefits. Due to Andrew's professional skills, knowledge, experience and a fine innate quality one doesn't always find in lawyers today, the favorable decision wouldn't have been achieved. I highly recommend Drew to veterans and their survivors.

I HIRED MR. ANDREW R. RUTZ AFTER DEALING WITH V.A. FOR 6 YEARS.I'VE MET WITH MR. RUTZ AND I THINK I CAN CALL HIM ANDREW. ANDREW TOOK MY CASE IN 2015 AND MY CASE WAS SETTLED IN FEB. 2018. I WAS RECEIVING 10% DISABILITY AND ANDREW WAS ABLE TO GET ME 100% TOTAL AND PERMENANT DISABILITY. I DEALT WITH THE SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO GET HELP BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CASE SETTLED. IT'S NOT EASY. YOU HAVE TO GET THE PROPER PAPERWORK AND YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH(COMPUTERS,LIBRARY, ENCYCLOPEDIAS. YOU HAVE TO DO THE LEG WORK,BUT IT PAYS OFF. YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT. ANDREW IS A HUMBLE MAN THAT IS A TRUE ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS. ANDREW I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS. I'M GETTING OLDER AND IT WAS A TRUE BLESSING. I LOVE YOU BROTHER. TOMMY

I was seeking representation for my va claims denial for increase percentage after having failed. Mr Rutz did get me a higher rating and is now representing me in trying to gain my TDIU rating. I can honestly say that Win, Lose or Draw he has always been available and I only have the utmost respect for how he really tries to help you win the awards the va doesn't think you deserve. I truly believe he is concerned and dedicated to his oath to help his clients get a fair shake from the va..no doubt about it..he is worthy.....the best....!!!!

I had my claim initially filed with county service officer and nothing happened. because of my age and health I could not wait forever. I contacted Mr, Rutz and he went from 8 pages of military records to a stack that exceeds one foot. I now collect disability compensation exceeding 100%+. It wasn't easy but he dug into the system and found what was needed. When I was in southeast "boots on the ground" was not part of the language. Military orders printed in Japan never indicated location I was assigned to. Much was done verbally with 90 day travel orders.

Andrew was very professional and did a wonderful job for me I would recommend him to anybody thank you what you have done for me Andrew you're a wonderful guy thanks again

I was injured while in the military and tried to work with the VA but, had no luck, I went to the internet and found Mr Rutz. Mr Rutz explained to me what I needed to do to get started and what he needed from me. So I sent all of my paper work to him from the VA and sent it to him and he started on as soon as he received it, And with in a few months he had my va rating up and soon after that was done he had me at the rating I needed to be, Mr Rutz was very professional and kind at the same time every time I called, Mr Rutz in my mind is very professional and went above and be on to help me when I needed it, he is 2nd to none and your firm should very happy to have him, Thank you

Upon learning approximately two years ago that my service-connected disability was incurable and progressive, I applied to the VA for compensation. My claim was approved but I was dissatisfied with the level of disability assigned by the VA. To prepare myself for an appeal I did a lot of reading. I learned that there is an arcane language unique to the VA appeals process much of which acquired definition in Federal Court decisions. And I saw also that I would have to navigate the complex legal matrix in which VA appeals are argued. All this was possible and help from Veteran's Service Organizations exists in theory, but I do not think it is easy to find a representative, let alone one who is well-qualified. I decided I wanted professional help. I had heard of Bosley & Bratch and I contacted them. At Bosley & Bratch it was my good fortune to have Attorney Andrew R. Rutz review and agree to take my case. He expertly and quickly took over my appeal. Mr. Rutz advised me, as necessary, and responded to my inquiries and concerns fully and with empathly. Never did I feel that he did not have enough time for me. So effective was Mr. Rutz's representation that I received a favorable decision from the VA in five months. I recommend Bosley & Bratch highly to anyone appealing a VA decision. Based upon my own experience I would describe them as effective, caring and dedicated. I am especially grateful to Mr. Rutz who has my unqualified endorsement.

Out of frustration after several years of fighting with the Veterans Administration to adjudicate my disability claim appeal, I contacted Bosley and Bratch. I was very fortunate to speak to Mr. Rutz who after reviewing my problem opted to take my case. Beside being the ultimate professional, he was polite, knowledgeable, thorough and cared about me as a human being and a veteran in need of help. I provided the information he requested and he immediately put the VA on notice that they were dealing with a smart attorney. He filed my case with the Board of Veterans Appeals gathering and presenting my case. When I turned 75 years old. he cited the regulation and I my case was advanced because of my age. He responded to VA challenges with conviction and The Board decided in my favor. There is no doubt in my mind that without the help of Mr. Rutz, I would have either given up, become overly agitated or done something drastic and stupid. I owe the successful conclusion of my appeal, a retroactive award date going back six years and a relief that I didn't think I would ever feel. Thank you Mr. Rutz. You are one Ace attorney.

If I were you don't go with these people they will drag your claim out for years just so they will be able to take a large sum of ur back pay. They take 30% plus additional fees. My case should of been done and settled in a year and it took over 3 yrs to get it no thanks to these people I ended up contacting my senator and va rep to fight for me. At the end I still owned them 30% because of the contract.

Drew is an outstanding Attorney. He is expertly informed in the field of Office Of Personnel Management. After a long search to find someone to represent me in my struggle with OPM, (CSRS), I discovered this Attorney that has paved the way to finally getting my retirement corrected. He has broken through barriers that seemed impossible to break. I highly recommend him if you need help against formidable OPM. I interviewed several Attorneys and couldn't find one that knew about the OPM language or how to navigate the road blocks that you face to get them to pay attention to their errors. Then I found Drew!
