A Life Transformed – Alfred
Alfred's military service began right out of high school, dedicating himself to Air Force communications. However, around six years into his service, a workplace accident involving 2000-pound reels of telephone cable left him with a debilitating back injury. The pain was excruciating, and the bureaucratic labyrinth of the Veterans Affairs (VA) system added another layer of challenge to his struggle.
His frustration with the VA was palpable. In Alfred's words, "Working with the VA was time-consuming and frustrating. It's like nobody can walk in there and communicate with the VA."
As he sank into depression, he realized he needed legal support capable of navigating the complexities of the VA system. That's when his wife, a steadfast advocate, discovered Morgan & Morgan.
What set Morgan & Morgan apart for Alfred was their dedicated VA attorney—someone who could not only comprehend the intricacies of his case but who could also communicate effectively with the VA on his behalf. The turning point came when Morgan & Morgan's attorney successfully secured Alfred a 100% disability rating, marking the end of a nearly 30-year struggle.
Alfred's gratitude for Morgan & Morgan goes beyond words. "I want to thank Morgan & Morgan for ending an almost 30-year nightmare that went on with the VA," he expressed. The weight of navigating the VA system, a burden felt by many veterans, was lifted off his shoulders. "They know that the veteran is out there, and the veteran doesn't know which way to turn. So Morgan & Morgan takes that load off of you. They work for you, and they keep you in the loop."
According to Alfred, his life underwent a profound transformation. "My way of life now is so much better,” he shared. “Now, I'm a changed person. I look at life totally differently. Life has a lot more to offer."
At Morgan & Morgan, our clients are never just case numbers. They are people with stories, families, and lives that matter. Alfred was one of those people, a proud veteran whose strength, dignity, and perseverance left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of working with him.
Throughout his case, Alfred remained deeply proud of who he was and what he had accomplished. That pride came through in every interaction, including the testimonial he shared as part of a Morgan & Morgan commercial. Alfred represented veterans everywhere who deserve respect, support, and justice.
Sadly, Alfred has since passed away. His loss was felt deeply by the attorneys and staff who worked closely with him. Even after his passing, Morgan & Morgan continued to stand by his family, helping secure VA widow’s benefits for his wife so she would have the support she deserved.
When the question arose of whether Alfred’s commercial should be taken out of rotation, his widow made her wishes clear. She shared that Alfred was incredibly proud of that commercial and would want it to continue. Out of respect for him and with her blessing, his story remains part of Morgan & Morgan’s message today.
Alfred’s legacy lives on through the impact he made, the family he loved, and the reminder he leaves behind: that veterans deserve unwavering advocacy, both in life and beyond. At Morgan & Morgan, it is an honor to continue telling his story and to fight for others the way we fought for Alfred.
