Agatha Ketterman

Associate · Discharge upgrades

Leaving the service was one day. The record of it has followed you since. A board can look at it again.

Agatha served as a Navy judge advocate before joining the firm, and now spends most of her days with veterans’ records. She rebuilds the story from the service file, the medical evidence and the people who were there.

She tells clients plainly what a board can and can’t change, and what the application would need.

How Agatha builds an application

Agatha starts with the discharge papers and the service record, then asks what happened in the months before. The answer usually sits in a medical file or a letter nobody has looked at since.

She writes the request around the change you want, in the board’s terms, with the evidence behind each reason.
