Attorney Nicholas Holt

Unruh Law welcomes Nicholas Holt, an appellate attorney with more than five years of experience before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Unruh Law, a VA disability law firm that represents veterans across the country, has welcomed attorney Nicholas Holt to its team. Holt is an appellate veterans law attorney based in Richmond, Virginia. He handles appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, the federal court that reviews decisions made by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.

Holt has practiced before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims for more than five years. In that time, he has handled hundreds of cases for veterans across the country and abroad.

His work matters most when a claim reaches the end of the VA’s internal review process. If the Board of Veterans’ Appeals denies a claim, a veteran can take the case to the court. Many veterans don’t know that option exists, and others aren’t sure whether their case is worth taking further.

Holt has spent his entire career working for veterans and their families. He is the grandson, son, brother, and cousin of service members from every branch of the armed forces, so the work is deeply personal to him. He understands the challenges veterans and their families face every day as they work through the benefits process.

“I grew up around people who served, and I’ve watched what happens when the system gets a decision wrong,” said Attorney Nicholas Holt. “Veterans earned these benefits. My job is to make sure the court hears their side clearly and fairly.”

Holt holds a bachelor’s degree from American University, where he was part of the three-year Policy, Politics, and Law Scholars Program. He earned his J.D. from Boston College as a Public Interest Designation Fellow, with a certificate in Pro Bono Excellence.

“A lot of our clients come to us after years of denials,” said Attorney John Robert Unruh, founder of Unruh Law. “Nick knows how to take a case to the next level, and he cares about these families the way we do. We’re glad to have him on board.”

Veterans and families dealing with a denied claim, a low rating, or a pending appeal can visit www.jru-law.com or call 415-335-6417 to schedule a free consultation. The firm works with clients remotely, so veterans can get help wherever they live.
