William “Bill” Sterbinsky, Esq. is a Florida native that comes from a family of military veterans. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served four years from 2003 to 2007. During his time in the Marines, he worked as a Security Forces Marine and then deployed to Iraq with 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, Weapons Company.
He spent 10 months in Iraq fighting in the Al Qaim Province, north of the Euphrates River. After his Discharge, he pursued a history degree at the University of South Florida where he found a passion for all things military. Also, while pursuing his education and dealing with VA claims for himself, he found that the VA system did not operate properly.
He witnessed many errors and unjustified delays. This new chapter and understanding propelled him into law school where he studied VA claims. After graduating law school, he started working for the prosecutor’s office in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, in Florida. One of his greatest achievements was helping build a Veteran’s Treatment Court.
A court constructed to offer second chances to veterans that found themselves troubled by the judicial system. Those courts are still actively operating today. Also, during this time, Bill is a co-founder of a local non-profit called SRQ VETS. He and a few local veterans witnessed many voids within their community that were adding stressors to the lives of veterans.
As such, they created a 100% volunteer non-profit that assist local veterans in their times of need. The true value of this non-profit is to take care of our own. This non-profit continues its mission still to this day. Today, with an experienced team of veterans and the knowledge obtained through the years, Veterans Affairs Law, P.
A. continues to provide legal representation to veterans nation-wide. This team helps veterans fight the VA for benefits provided under the law. The team researches service treatment records, military personnel records, command chronologies, prior decisions, helps file claims, argues for discharge upgrades, assists in filing for Board of Correction of Military records, and assists survivor dependents on all matters involving the VA.
These fights can be arduous but the elements or persistence, creativity, and patience have proven to be valuable attributes.
