ABOUT BRYAN

A Veteran Fighting for Veterans

Bryan Blackmore didn't just serve in uniform. He served as an Attorney at the Board of Veterans' Appeals, the very body that decides veterans' claims on appeal. He drafted BVA decisions. He worked directly with Veterans Law Judges. That experience now works entirely in your favor.

A 1998 graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and holder of a J.D. with honors from Florida State University College of Law, Bryan was one of a handful of Coast Guard JAGs to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom, deploying to Baghdad in support of Task Force 134.
