David M. Bulluck
Attorney Specializing in Veterans Disability Claims
David M. Bulluck, founder of Veterans Disability Help Center, has built his career on a deep commitment to seeking justice for individuals and families. Recognized as one of Florida’s leading trial attorneys, David brings extensive experience in state and federal courts, a dedication to helping those who have been wronged, and a proven track record of securing life-changing outcomes for his clients.
David’s expertise extends beyond personal injury law to include veterans’ disability claims—a practice area where his passion for advocacy and family ties to military service come together. Inspired by his grandfathers, a Navy veteran and a U.S. Army veteran, and his father, who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era, David has dedicated his career to supporting the veteran community.
Qualifications & Accolades
David’s exceptional results have earned him membership in the prestigious Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a distinction held by fewer than 1% of attorneys in the United States. He has also been recognized by Florida Super Lawyers, an honor reserved for only 2.5% of lawyers statewide.
As one of fewer than 500 attorneys nationwide accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), David has undergone specialized training to advocate for veterans seeking disability benefits. He is admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and is approved by the VA to access the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS), which provides direct access to critical service records and military documentation.
Veterans Disability Law Expertise
David applies his in-depth understanding of medical procedures, terminology, and legal strategy—skills honed over years of personal injury litigation—to veterans’ disability claims. His approach includes:
- Thorough Case Analysis: Leveraging access to VBMS to review service treatment records (STRs), official military personnel files (OMPFs), and prior rating decisions.
- Strategic Appeals: Identifying the most effective appeal lane—whether supplemental, higher-level, or Board of Veteran Appeals (BVA)—to maximize benefits for veterans.
- Comprehensive Case Building: Investigating primary, secondary, and presumptive conditions to establish service connections and advocate for the highest possible disability ratings.
Commitment to the Veteran Community
David’s work extends beyond the courtroom. He actively supports the broader veterans’ community by serving on the boards of two nonprofit organizations that assist enlisted military personnel and veterans. His dedication reflects a strong belief in honoring those who serve our nation and ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve.
