Peña & Bromberg is honored to welcome Amanda L. Mineer, a nationally recognized VA disability lawyer, to the firm as Of Counsel. With more than a decade of experience helping veterans and their families, Amanda has built her career on making sure those who served our country get the benefits they earned.
Her addition supports Peña & Bromberg’s mission to offer strong and complete representation for people seeking disability benefits, especially veterans dealing with the complex Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system.
A Decade of Dedicated Advocacy
Since 2012, Amanda has focused her entire practice on VA disability appeals. She has represented thousands of veterans before the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. Her deep knowledge of VA rules and her skill in building persuasive cases have helped veterans win benefits, even after years of delays and denials.
Her work goes beyond legal strategy. It is rooted in compassion and persistence. Veterans and their families often face long wait times, repeated denials, and difficult processes. Amanda has shown that determination and a strong understanding of the law can help overcome these obstacles and deliver justice for those who have sacrificed for the country.
National Recognition as “The MST Lawyer”
Amanda is well known for her groundbreaking work with survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST). She is nationally recognized as “The MST Lawyer,” and she has never lost an MST case. This success highlights both her legal skills and her commitment to making sure MST survivors are treated with dignity and respect.
MST cases are often sensitive and difficult. Survivors may have limited documentation, face stigma, or struggle with the VA’s process. Amanda has built her reputation on handling these challenges and achieving life-changing results for her clients.
Her impact goes beyond individual cases. Her consistent success has raised awareness about the needs of MST survivors and has helped set better standards for handling these claims nationwide.
Educator, Leader, and Advocate for Change
Amanda is also a respected teacher and leader in veterans’ law. She has been invited to present Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs to attorneys and Veteran Service Officers across the country. She shares strategies that help others better serve veterans.
She has also worked as a consultant for law firms looking to expand into VA disability work. By guiding new attorneys, she helps ensure more veterans receive informed and effective representation.
Her leadership has made her a trusted authority on VA disability law and has inspired positive change throughout the legal community.
How Amanda Strengthens Peña & Bromberg
Amanda’s role as Of Counsel strengthens Peña & Bromberg’s ability to represent disabled individuals and veterans with complex cases. Her experience with VA disability law and MST appeals fits perfectly with the firm’s strong background in Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.

This shared commitment is central to the partnership. Peña & Bromberg has always focused on a client-centered approach built on compassion, legal skill, and modern tools. Amanda’s addition strengthens this foundation and reassures clients that their cases will be handled with care and expertise.
