Most attentive lawyer We contacted Mr. Pack at the end of 2023 to assist in filing a VA claim. He has always been prompt to answer any questions we have. He explained that this is not a speedy process but would help us throughout the process. We could not have asked for a better attorney.

The Best at His Craft!!! Mark is truly amazing at what he does. Reason being first and foremost, HE CARES!!! He cares about our Veterans and wants to take care of them! As a Combat Veteran himself, he understands firsthand what we go through and how hard transitioning out of the military, especially after combat, is. I know Mark professionally and personally, from serving in Afghanistan to home, Active Duty to Civilian/Retired, he is a genuine caring lawyer/individual/person/man. I do and would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone seeking a Lawyer that is compassionate, cares, and understands, especially for Retirees and Veterans.

Biography

Retired Marine. Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran.

Going to law school after retiring was a challenge. Trying to navigate VA benefits in order to enhance the education experience was difficult on a good day. I found I discovered my niche: Veterans need Veterans with a broad range of administrative, legal, medical, military, occupational, and social skill sets in order to get the best possible result from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Fees
  • Contingent Fees
    If your VA Benefits Claims are denied and you wish to appeal, my contingency fee is 20% of recovery, plus costs. If your appeal is denied before the BVA and you wish me to represent you before the CAVC, my contingency fee is 30% plus costs. For Social Security Compensation Claims, standard contingency fees apply.
  • Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
    For all other matters, fee schedules are negotiated in advance. Costs are an unfortunate nature of doing business, however, I do my utmost to keep costs down for clients. Costs that may be billed are usually of an unusual nature, but common sensical: i.e., if you prefer to correspond via US Mail, vice email, postage costs may apply. Another example may be is if I am required to drive out to you, fuel charges may apply.

Q. What can I do? Is it too late ? How to file myself?are there contingency lawyers or pro bono lawyer for this kind case?
A: I'm sorry for the loss of your father. We lose our elderly Veterans population at a depressing rate.

I would bounce this question off of a family lawyer and maybe a probate lawyer in the jurisdiction where they were allegedly married and where he died.

There are so many moving parts to this question:

- Was this a valid marriage?

- Was the witness competent to be a witness to a marriage?

- If the marriage license is flawed, does the jurisdiction provide the respondent with a means to remedy?

- If the marriage can be declared invalid by statutory reasons, can marriage fraud be proven?

With regards to dealing with the VA.

If there were a legal basis, i.e. a court declares the marriage invalid, it MAY be possible to file a dispute with the Veteran's Benefits Administration.

Additionally it would likely be beneficial to contact the DVA's Office of the Inspector General to report the situation.

As to how their processes would work in this situation is difficult to predict with certainty. I believe it would be likely that this could go to a hearing before the Board of Veterans Appeals, possibly to the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. In the most extreme circumstance, if the case ultimately produced a Constitutional question which our jurisprudence has not addressed, it could be decided by the US Supreme Court.

I evaluate the chances of this question going to SCOTUS as mathematically insignificant, ergo 0%.

Now for the reality check. When she tells her side of the story, she's a grieving widow who lost the love of her life twice. From her perspective, she could spin the saddest story since Old Yeller for a judge and jury to hear.

This is probably not the answer you want to hear, but based upon these immediate factors, and with the understanding that there are other factors that were not evaluated, I cannot calculate any reasonable odds of success. This case would be very expensive to prove and emotionally draining.

With regards to pro bono, I can't think of any one I know personally who would do this pro bono. It would be advisable to shop around to find the best fit for your legal needs.

Q. I am being harassed by voice to skull technology and they are threatening my life.. nobody believes me please help
A: At first glance, this does not appear to be a legal question.

However, the gap between technology and science fiction depends largely on the time of day.

Hypothetically, assuming what you say is true, although I would more likely rephrase as mental distress in response to suspected directed energy transmission of unknown origin, this issue seems less Star Wars and more modern technology.

If the brain is essentially a biomicroprocessor, using organic chemistry to generate thought processes, and if a directed energy emitter could alter the organic chemical foundation of certain parts of the brain, then it should be theoretically possible to establish both causation and correlation.



This analysis hinges on determination by experts that the potential plaintiff was subjected to directed energy; that as a result, the potential plaintiff's brain chemistry was adversely affected by said directed energy; and that but for the exposure to such directed energy the potential plaintiff would have been in good mental health.

Extending the analysis to this hypothetical, it is worth mentioning that there may be some federal questions which may be brought by the Department of Energy and Federal Communication Commission, just to name a few.

If such could be proven, depending on the circumstances, there maybe criminal charges, if for example, if the potential plaintiff were maliciously targeted or if this was a criminal violation of federal and/or state code.

Another likely scenario to this hypothetical would be this is some random party with no malicious intent, such as an inventor, conducting experiments for lawful purposes, in which case, a potential plaintiff could apply for injunctive relief from the court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Again, these are all hypothetical, based upon the assumption that science can explain why XYZ is happening.

If the science can't establish that notional XYX explanation, then there is very little a court could do to assist.

In any event, it absolutely would be necessary to speak with a medical doctor, preferably a neurologist and psychologist, an expert on brain chemistry, an expert on radiation and emissions, etc.

Note: this answer was formulated on the theory that what the potential plaintiff reports is true. I wish to underscore that this is not intended as medical advice, and to the extent that this hypothetical analysis is considered legal advice, it is strongly suggested that a personal injury attorney review this theory against the jurisprudence of the appropriate jurisdiction and the ground truth facts.

Q. I am not sure what kind of lawyer I need to talk to.
A: If your son and the other soldier were still in the service, there should have also been a military investigation. If they were both out of the service at the time, then there would likely only be the civilian investigation.

Consider submitting a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of the Army in order to determine if an investigation was ever conducted by the Army; if so, what were the results of that investigation and if no, why was no investigation conducted.

My deepest sympathies go with you and your family.
