VA Nexus Letters

Expert medical analysis, supporting successful VA benefits claims.

At Hardman Medical Consulting, my VA Nexus Letters are more than just paperwork; they reflect detailed analysis and genuine dedication. With a background in corporate law, state prosecution, and criminal defense, I’ve spent years mastering how to connect the dots and establish causation. I bring this same approach to medicine, applying my expertise as a physician to ensure that no one can better link your service history to your medical condition. I leave no stone unturned in ensuring the accuracy and strength of your nexus letter.

I review every page of your medical records, immersing myself in the details because I understand that every piece of information could be critical to your nexus letter. My experience allows me to zero in on the relevant facts, and my training in law and medicine enables me to craft nexus letters backed by rigorous evidence and sound reasoning. You can trust that I’ll bring my medical expertise to bear and dig deep into the medical literature to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

I charge $400 for my nexus letters, a price substantially lower than anyone else writing these in the United States. Each additional diagnosis costs $150. If your case is too complex for me to provide at this price point, I will communicate that with you upfront, but it’s my intention to provide high-quality, affordable services to as many veterans as possible.

I’m not willing to write a nexus letter for anyone. I hold myself to the highest standards, which means I’m selective about the cases I choose. When I write a nexus letter, it’s because I genuinely believe a service connection exists, and you will know that the VA respects my opinion because of this. This integrity sets me apart—you can trust me because I’m not doing this for the money.

Alongside my colleagues at Harvard Business School, I developed the idea of disrupting the nexus letter market as a public service for veterans. My goal is to make these essential services more affordable for veterans while maintaining the highest quality. I carry the name of a WWII prisoner of war who gave his life in service to this country, and my father was a Vietnam veteran. My commitment to the veteran community and those who have sacrificed runs deep.

At Hardman Medical Consulting, you’re not just another file. My expertise in law and medicine, along with my dedication to digging deep into the facts, ensures that your nexus letter is presented with the strongest possible evidence. I’m committed to providing high-quality, personalized support to help you secure the benefits you’ve earned.

No one can guarantee a successful claim, as the VA makes the final determination.
