The advertise that they will help you with suing the VA for malpractice. My wife was assaulted at the Orlando VA injected against her will, with contrast after repeated objections, that made her go into anaphylaxis shock and slowly suffocate. This firm told us that they would not take the case for some BS reasons. I wouldn't waste your time with them, lawyers want an easy win so they can pocket easy money. They advertise like they care, and will fight for you, but they just care about making easy money.

Response from owner

As with all the one star reviews, this person was never our client. (see all the 5 star reviews from actual clients). We declined representation. Basically he is just bashing lawyers. We are a legal business and not crusaders. We work diligently to screen cases for merit and possibility of a positive outcome. What we do not do is just take any case just because the person threatens a bad review. It is important that our case quality is good as the government agencies respect us as a serious law firm pushing serious cases that have a chance of recovery.

You get a AI answering, then emailing the same questions, then wait 2 months. Then the AI mails you back that the day after you got of 4 days of ICU for brain bleed, had siezure, went to the VA who then told you that you didn't have a brain bleed. 47 days later you almost die, have 2 surgeries, inability to work with lifelong damage is something they are incapable of winning. Really? How about a real lawyer and doctor, not a bot. And a response in under 2 months? So if it's not low hanging fruit and a hours work they won't be interested. I should have done the math as well, dividing what they claim for recoveries by the years, it's pretty slim for a "national" firm.

Response from owner

First, this was a case evaluation we declined on the merits, and this person was never our client. We have skilled personnel who carefully screen our cases, including a doctor and a nurse. Just because a layperson thinks there might be a case does not mean there is a winnable case. It is not uncommon for the VA to do everything correctly, and a bad result still happens. Secondly, sometimes the VA does something wrong, but it does not cause the injury claimed. Obviously, this person had a bad experience at the VA. But a bad experience does not necessarily mean negligence or a winnable case. It is not as simple as that, and that is why professional assistance is essential. We provided the person with a swift answer after reviewing his case. He was just unhappy with the answer. It is rare for people who complain that we did not accept their supposed "super-easy" and "simple" case to go on with another attorney and achieve a significant recovery from the VA. Bottom line, we have been handling medical malpractice cases under the Federal Tort Claims Act almost exclusively for 25 years.

Extremely rude, dismissive, discriminatory against veterans, hubristic, and just generally a bad attitude. Veterans stay away from these people…

Response from owner

First, this person was never our client. We receive hundreds of inquiries each week. Not everyone has a case that we can help with, and some people become very upset when we tell them exactly that on their first encounter. Then they leave to a bad review. We have hundreds of actual clients that can tell you the exact opposite of what this one-time contact poster has said.

Thanks nothing. Asked so many times help. You then didn’t even pick up. Terrible law firm. Berry Law group is way better! I wonder why they never wanted to help this disabled vet! Pathetic too you couldn’t even call me back at one point! You sir owe me an apology! Good luck now! This has more merit than anything! Broken stimulator. Since 2024 February 23 fell in front of a Va rep in nj. Was silenced for almost 2 years. Stimulator was damaging me ever since. Luckily I turned it off. Multiple Sen and congressional offices ignoring my cry’s for help. Yeah I think this is the biggest one ever. 5 letters went out certified one wrote back. It was very provocative too that letter. I’m no fool sir. Even called yall last night because it’s an emergency in my back. I never lie! God works in mysterious ways. This is his way of saying second chance. Your loss not mine.

Response from owner

We turn down cases that don’t have merit. This person was obviously declined and was never our client. Unfortunately some people try to force us into accepting their cases or they leave bad reviews. We take our job seriously and readily represent many, many veterans with cases that have merit.

I wouldn’t recommend them. They called me for weeks and told me they would be able to represent me. I stopped contacting the other law firms. Total scam, waste of time and gather my data. Bad business, and not to mention it was an easy case. The wrongful party is already offering compensation to settle out of court and has formally apologized and excepted fault. Before the written intake I provided all information and was called back told that they will accept over a week later I get this email. Totally unprofessional

Response from owner

After requesting for two weeks, this person finally provided us the medical records on September 22, 2025. We reviewed within 4 days and turned down the case. He can say what he wants, but quick evaluation and decision making based on facts is good lawyering. Taking substandard cases is not.

Thank you again for standing by us and helping us navigate this journey. We truly appreciate everything you've done. With sincere gratitude and deepest respect, George & Barbara Murphy

My experience with the Archuleta Law Firm has been great. I have been guided through a difficult time in my life by their caring staff. They understood my case from both a legal and a medical perspective. They made me feel like they really cared and they understood all the various aspects of my case. EJ was great to work with. He took time to explain all my options and to help me understand his reasoning behind his advice. I feel like I was blessed to find the Archuleta Law Firm, especially after I had a difficult time find representation in California. I would recommend this firm to anyone who finds themself in a position where they need someone to guide them and direct them through what is a difficult time in life.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointed by Lack of Commitment I reached out to this attorney regarding a serious military medical malpractice case, hoping for guidance and advocacy during a difficult time. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing. From the start, I felt my case was not taken seriously. All those delays, that were blamed on Covid 19, made absolutely no sense to me. Communication was minimal, and when we did speak, I sensed a lack of genuine interest or urgency. Military malpractice cases are complex and emotionally taxing, and I expected a level of professionalism and empathy that simply wasn’t there. Once we received a denial for our claim, you all were quick to move on. Leaving us to fight alone, rather than offering thoughtful insight or exploring the merits of my situation, they seemed dismissive and quick to move on. It felt like my case was judged prematurely, without a full understanding of the facts or the impact this has had on my life. The medical experts, statement was contradictory, and not helpful. I understand that not every case is won, but you all failed my family, and the way mine was handled lacked respect and transparency. If you’re seeking an attorney who will truly listen, investigate thoroughly, and treat your concerns with the seriousness they deserve—especially in matters involving military medical negligence—I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Response from owner

As the person mentioned, the case happened during COVID-19. There is a federal law and numerous state laws that shield health care providers from lawsuits during COVID-19. As the person stated, they were explained the reasons for the denial and the laws involving COVID-19, which the person refuses to accept, saying that it makes "absolutely no sense to me." This case, like many others, has flaws that negatively affect the case. The law firm takes on many cases that have flaws and issues of one kind or another, not because we think we can prevail in every claim, but because the claims are the only chance most people have of making a recovery. It is not a promise of success. If the law firm only took perfect cases with no chance of the cases being denied, we would never have taken this case or many others. We take on many cases with issues because in many instances we can overcome those issues and the claim results in a recovery for the claimant. However, there is a percentage of cases where we are unable to recover and the claim is denied. Unfortunately, some of those people leave us negative reviews because their flawed case was denied.

These guys are a total joke. They are disorganized and appear to inflate their worth as attorneys when a significant amount of reviews prove otherwise. They’ll leave you on “read” for weeks with nonprofessional courtesy. Save yourself the trouble and find a different firm.

If you are like I was, you probably don't know where to start with your case, but I am here to tell you that you are in the right spot. I discovered Mr. Archuleta and his team through a simple Google search, and it was the best thing that ever happened to my family and me. They were very compassionate and thorough. They fought very hard for my family and me and were able to get us a very nice settlement. As with any case, patience is key, but rest assured, Mr. Archuleta and his team are working on your behalf.

I received a call shortly after I requested information about filing a claim. The representative was very kind and patient with me. After discussing my claim, she promptly sent the intake form. I haven't become a client yet—fingers crossed—but I am very pleased with my experience so far.

We, the family of Frank Aquilante USMC (1957-1961), would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Attorney Archuleta along with his entire staff for taking on our case against the Veterans Hospital, West Haven, CT. when no others would. Attorney Archuleta looked beyond his age and recognized the blatant medical malpractice that led to Franks death. Although nothing can bring him back we do find solace in knowing all those involved have now been held accountable for his passing. Thank you does not seem enough. We will forever be grateful ~ The Aquilante Family

After reading their response, I'm adding this detail in. Archuleta never hired a medical expert to write a report for my case. So it didn't have the expert backing it needed. Also once your case gets denied they will not take the next step as they do not sue the government they only try to settle. That seems like pertinent information. Not only did they only spend moments on the phone with me over the past 2.5 years. When I found out my claim was denied I was notified by a letter in the mail. It's impersonal with this law firm they didn't even offer a phone call. There is no personal connection here. I live with horrible chronic pain and a paralyzed lower leg and I did not feel properly represented. In fact it felt like they just took an easy way out. I was passed from one person to the next and none of the people I spoke was an actual lawyer. If you want impersonal attention this is the place. In my medical records it even says they admit fault. My case was not taken seriously. I'm heartbroken that not only did the government not take care of me during my surgery at the Minneapolis VA, but the law firm I selected didn't either. I'd look elsewhere for representation! If they say I was never their client id be very happy to send a document proving otherwise. If they say that ... I'd REALLY look elsewhere. (If you think I just a negative person, look at my other reviews, I give fair and honest reviews)

Response from owner

We are sorry that you feel that way. Your claim was handled to the highest levels of professionalism and skill. Unfortunately filing a claim is not a 100% guarantee of recovery. Not every claim is strong due to the facts of the claim. Some claims are denied by the government attorneys after they have conducted their investigation. Fortunately, we are able to recover for the majority of our clients. In the event a claim is denied we are required to send the client the denial letter because it not only includes the government’s explanation for the denial, but also any important information regarding appeal rights. No one wants to receive a denial letter, but it is a risk, particularly with weaker claims.

I do recommend the archuletta law firm. They have alot of expertise in navigating through the va. I called 6 other law firms they didnt want the case. I lstt hope Archuleta law firm decided to take the case and. I new I had a case I just had the to get the right law firm. They have years of experience with the va and the government. They have good communication keeping you informed. It is a long process. Please call Archuleta law firm first. I will believe if they can't win it no one can. Thanks again.
