What Is Hill & Ponton? Services, Track Record, and How to Get Help

Hill & Ponton is a nationwide veterans disability law firm that represents veterans in VA disability claims and appeals. If the VA has denied or underrated your claim, the firm offers a free case evaluation and works on a no-fee-unless-we-win basis, according to its website. It is a fit if you want legal representation for a VA appeal or a complex claim; it is not a general legal aid office or a government agency.

What the firm does

The site positions Hill & Ponton as an advocate for veterans nationwide, focused on veterans law and VA disability law. The core work described is appealing unfavorable VA decisions and fighting for the benefits the firm says veterans deserve.

Its practice and resource areas include:

• VA appeals — challenging denials or low ratings
• VA disability ratings — understanding and contesting rating decisions
• PACT Act claims — including a questionnaire tool that uses your dates of service and conditions to check eligibility
• Mental health ratings, including PTSD
• VA unemployability (IU) and Special Monthly Compensation
• Toxic exposure research — maps and lists for burn pits, Agent Orange, Blue Water Navy ships, and specific bases and locations

The firm also publishes guides, a VA claims online course, and a monthly newsletter with client stories and claim tactics.

Track record and credentials

The homepage states these figures:

These are the firm's own reported numbers. They are useful as a sense of scale and experience, but they are not an independent rating or a guarantee of your outcome.

Cost and contact

The site states: "no fee unless we win." That is the firm's description of its fee arrangement. Confirm the exact terms, including what counts as a win and any costs, directly with the firm before signing anything.

Two entry points are listed:

• Free case evaluation — a form on the site
• Phone: 1-888-477-2363

Is it right for you?

Consider contacting Hill & Ponton if:

• The VA denied your claim or rated your condition lower than you believe is correct
• You are filing under the PACT Act or another toxic-exposure pathway and want help confirming eligibility
• You want an attorney to handle an appeal rather than navigating it alone

You may not need it if your claim is already granted at the correct rating, or if you only want general information — the site's free guides, calculators, and maps cover a lot of that ground without a consultation.

The clearest next step is the free case evaluation or the phone line above; both let you describe your situation and get a direct answer on whether the firm can take your case.
