The Persian Gulf War Veteran with the amputated leg in the above picture is known as "Grandma Mary", by us at VictoryByVeterans.org.  She is a grandmother who works on her feet as an RN.

She needs a new prosthetic, or to improve her present one, but her injury lawyer took so much of her "medical bills funds" for his fees that she cannot now afford a new leg!  The money her lawyer charged and deducted from her medical fund amounted to over $10,000.00/ HOUR!!!

What added insult to the injury of such a crazy high fee was Grandma Mary's obvious injury was a no-risk, no-lawsuit, "shuffle some papers" claim for her lawyer, and the insurance companies admitted fault!!! This type of claim does not require top lawyer skills and high fees.

To make matters worse, her lawyer first met her in the hospital.  He had Grandma Mary sign a terrible contract when she was lying in bed with a partially amputated leg and groggy under the effects of strong, opiate painkillers!

The contract she signed said Grandma Mary could not sue her lawyer about his fee!! And her lawyer refused to give her a full copy of her file and contract! Veterans beware because Grandma Mary's story is fairly common!

We love lawyers! And we love the injured veteran clients even more because they need help and hope. Lawyers are not trying to take advantage of veterans, but they are stuck in the customs of a judicial system that hasn't changed much in 200 years.  Veterans have always had the right to negotiate a different price than the high "1/3rd standard fee", but they did not know they had that right. A donation to VictoryByVeterans.org will help us to inform veterans of a lot more of their rights that can mean the difference between bankruptcy and survival.

We help veterans like Grandma Mary by teaching vets how to avoid unnecessary lawyer fees that deplete vets' money they need for future medical bills. By helping vets share information about their claims, the next veteran will know where the legal fee land mines are at and not step on them! 

Approximately 80 -130 veterans' families go bankrupt every day because of unnecessary legal fees that are deducted from veterans' medical bills funds! This deduction by the lawyers makes it increasingly tough on veterans' families because inflation makes the veteran's future medical bills cost rise by about 9% every year.

Help Grandma Mary to help her fellow vets avoid receiving a horrible financial result like she suffered because she was not part of an organization like VictoryByVeterans.org that serves as a lawyer watchdog! Learn more by watching the above video!

Your donations will help us afford a better quality video! We had to get this video out right away because of the high number of vets who are going bankrupt each day by signing terrible contracts with injury lawyers! Learn and earn!


Is this the way we should treat our veterans? Leaving our vets without enough money to pay their future medical bills and staring at a bankruptcy tank rolling at them?  Should we act passive and helpless to let personal injury lawyers take their sky-high fees out of an injured veteran's injury settlement funds that she needs for her future medical bills and expenses?

Do you really think that the lawyer/politicians will fix this?  Passing new legislation or court rules fixing this problem from the top down will take at least a few more decades. We veterans must immediately take care of this decades-old problem from the grass-roots upward, one injured veteran at a time.

Lawyers have a right to make a profit and to charge contingent fees, but we veterans have the right to be charged a FAIR PRICE that fits the quality and value veterans recieve.  Isn't it quite crazy to allow the worst and the best injury lawyers to charge veterans the same price (1/3rd)? That is like charging the same price for a stale ham sandwich and a fresh sizzling steak. It does not make sense under any economic theory.

America's lawyers should be more efficient because they haven't improved their efficiency for 80 years even though efficiency has improved dramatically for the the rest of America's economy!


We are talking about fairness - economic fairness about money veteran families need to survive. The same basic, humane, fairness that people fought and died for on war battlefields and by workers striking and protesting for a better wage and quality of life. VictoryByVeterans.org is fighting for the right of veterans to be treated respectfully by the people that are supposed to be protecting the veterans' pocketbooks - the lawyers. 

By veterans creating an efficient, PRIVATE, non-governmental, non-VA organization like VictoryByVeterans.org, they will be in a much stronger position for organizing and networking information between veterans, and between veterans and lawyers (who respect veterans.)


BEWARE! NUMBER CRUNCHING FOR THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS! JUMP OVER IT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MATH!

LAWYERS GET A NEW DEAL! In the1930's Great Depression, the individual state governments' bars standardized the injury contingent fee at 1/3rd (or 33.3%) to create a social program designed  to subsidize the standard of living for lawyers with "free money" for referring injured people to injury lawyers.

The "free money" lawyers' referral finders' fees program is designed to be supervised by the Judicial Branch. Of the 33% "standard fee", 22% is paid to the "working lawyer" and 11% is paid (usually behind the clients' backs) to the "non-working lawyer" who found the injured person and referred her to the working lawyer.  It is a finder's fee system.  The governments' "free money" programs are generally modeled after the ABA's Model Rule 1.5(a-e).

The "free money" system is a way for lawyers to be able to make more money because, back in the 1930's, lawyers believed that they are the profession that should produce the leaders of American society. It was originally reasoned by the lawyers, who the US Constitution allows to regulate themselves, that if the lawyers were going to be the leaders of America, they needed a higher standard of living during the tough times of the Great Depression.  The "free money" system is alive and well to this day. (Except in Colorado)

The "free money" program redirected approximately $25 Billion dollars from injured clients medical bills funds to "non-working lawyers" wallets in 2016. But VictoryByVeterans.org is designed to provide veterans' families with information and support to help prevent veterans from losing their money to unnecessary "free money" lawyer fee program(s).


However, in today's Internet society, the "free money" government program is living on borrowed time.  And veterans can hasten the end of the "free money" system by protecting their own injury money through a donation to VictoryByVeterans.org.

Internet transparency of the lawyer fee "free money" system is allowing injured people to discover that huge portions of their injury settlement monies are being paid to "non-working" lawyers for doing nothing.

It may be interesting to note that physicians go to prison for paying referral finders' fees to each other, whereas lawyers write their own rules to allow $25 Billion/year to be paid between lawyers each year for referral finders' fee kickbacks.



The government's "free money" system for lawyers hits minority, low-income and middle-class famiies severely and worse yet, it is also bankrupting veterans' families.  Everyone pays more for healthcare because the ancient "free money" government program is actually making doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers to suffer big losses that are passed onto taxpayers.

Could you imagine how much more we would pay for our healthcare, if emergency room physicians received a referral fee kickback of 1/3rd of the medical bills generated by everyone an ER physician referred along to another specialist physician? [Ex. Referral to orthopedists for broken bones.]  The additional cost to consumers would be staggering. However, that is what lawyers are doing with injury claims referred among each other.  Meanwhile, physicians go to prison, if they do the same thing lawyers do.

Veterans need a NON-government organization like VictoryByVeterans.org to be founded for veterans needing legal services. Veterans need competitive rates for all legal services, and especially for worker compensation and personal injury lawyers.  

This can be accomplished through a free, open and transparent marketplace like VictoryByVeterans.org where injured people can negotiate price and compare notes with other veterans. 


Enough is enough; America's lawyers have been organized for over 200 years and it is now time for the injured clients to organize themselves with the most transparent and truth-revealing invention ever - the Internet.




Grandma Mary's story proves that there is a tremendous need for VictoryByVeterans.org. Our projections reveal that there are approximately 150,000 veterans families affected each year in the US by very high lawyer fees.

Of those families, about 30,000-50,000 veteran families will go bankrupt every year because injury lawyers are still using a very inefficient fee rate, the "standard 1/3rd fee" (33%), which dates back 80 years to the Great Depression!!! That is the same rate that Grandma Mary's lawyer used! Vets deserve more efficiency, competition and fairness. 

Veterans deserve better.

Keep reading to find out "WHY?" the founder sacrificed everything to bring the truth to veterans and the public.



VictoryByVeterans.org was founded by a veteran and “whistleblower lawyer", Mark Moran.  Mark Moran was a successful lawyer who participated in the lawyers' referral finders' fee kickback program for decades and he received a lot of "free money" fees.

Mark also successfully represented a man through the US Supreme court and eventually won that case. Mark donated over Four Thousand (4,000) pro bono (free) hours in that hard-fought cause involving a union lawyer who volunteered to testify in front of a grand jury in order to clean up the corruption in the FELA personal injury lawyer field.

Mark Moran and his client went through a meat grinder in that case. However, along the way, Mark Moran discovered a lot of information about the secret referral finders' fee kickback program that the government began for railroad workers' lawyers
almost one hundred (100) years before .

Mark Moran then did a lot of research about the referral finder's fee kickback program and he was amazed at the startling information that was never made public.


Freedom isn't free and neither are "free money" referral finders' fee kickbacks that lawyers take out of injured veterans' money that the veterans need to pay their future medical bills and expenses.

As a result of knowing a lot of the truth about the government's referral finders' fees program, Mark Moran could not turn his back on fellow veterans, and stay quiet, and "not rock the boat."  Eventually, Mark discovered the truth about how injury lawyer fees can and do destroy thousands of families every year through bankruptcy, suicide from financially caused depression, divorce, and the list goes on.

Mark Moran sacrificed his home and his life savings to research and develop this system for 6 years to help all families, and especially the families of veterans. That is because when a post-injury settlement family goes bankrupt they have no idea why it happened and that they probably could have avoided the resulting bankruptcy and its by-products - divorce and suicide. 


Mark could have just kept his mouth shut and lived in the mansion he built for the rest of his life safe and sound, but Mark could not let innocent families be destroyed. So Mark forfeited his family's home, dedicated all of his assets to revealing the truth to injured people, and vowed to save these families.

Most veterans don't need to be reminded of the following truth.  "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

Here is a picture of the nice home that Mark sacrificed because it had been built primarily with referral finder's fees and “1/3rd standard contingent fees”! Mark's conscience told him that he could not live in a house that was built upon other people's bankruptcies and misery.



As a result of strong beliefs, Mark and his wife forfeited their home and Mark devoted himself to help all families, especially veterans' families to avoid those highly destructive lawyer fees!

Needless to say, the bar associations don't like Mark Moran telling the fee secrets that have been buried for decades, as many of those fees are collateral for loans made to "non-working" lawyers.  

This story isn't The Big Short. It is The Big Tort! 1 Out of every $50 in the US economy goes to the personal injury (Tort) industry because it is over 2% of US GDP!

If Mark sacrificed this home to bring the truth to your family, please listen to his information because it is simple, 6th grade level math that every lawyer has confirmed was accurate. Mark is revealing the truth about legal fees that can be avoided to save your family.

Lawyers will probably not tell you ALL the information about referral finder's kickback fees, if you do not ask them the right questions. That is why a donation to VictoryByVeterans.org will help all injured veterans discover the truth they need to know about their lawyer fees.



Lawyers Charging Veterans Referral Finder's Fees Costs Veteran Families Billions of Dollars Each Year!

The following Chicago Tribune newspaper story sadly reflects the type of treatment injured veterans also suffer by lawyers giving so little information to their injured clients that clients cannot make good money decisions! Vets deserve the whole fee truth up front and in plain language - not in legalese - before they meet with lawyers and sign a terrible contract!

Veterans, seize the day while you have the advantage! Veterans have the lawyers outnumbered 20 to 1!! The Time To Organize and Act is Now! There are 24 million US veterans and active duty service personnel and only 1.2 million lawyers. And there is an oversupply of almost 300,000 lawyers!  

But lawyers are still controlling the artificially high price of their legal services for injured veterans. Veterans must understand that the total number of veterans should be used to take advantage of the oversupply of lawyers in order to make lawyers compete and give veterans better prices.

VETERANS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER, FLEX THEIR MUSCLES, FOCUS THEIR FIRE SUPERIORITY, AND DEMAND BETTER PRICES ACROSS AMERICA BY HELPING BUILD VICTORYBYVETERANS.ORG!

HOW V.I.N.E. WORKS (VETERANS' INJURY NETWORK): Injury lawyers are not evil. But they have been lazy and inefficient for decades, by not competing on price, quality, and value for their injury legal services like the rest of the industries in the USA. VictoryByVeterans.org will interview talented injury lawyers who will agree to give veterans the "professionals' rate."

BEWARE! NUMBER CRUNCHING FOR THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS! JUMP OVER IT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MATH!  The professionals' rate deducts the 11% "advertising cushion" from the "1/3 (33%) standard fee" to charge veterans the discounted rate that injury lawyers charge other lawyers (22%)  over one million times per year.

Please keep in mind that tens of thousands of injury lawyers are working for a net profit of 22% every day but they are charging their clients an up-charge to 33% to have an advertising cushion! If veterans are coming to them without advertising through VINE, they will work for their usual 22% and save vet families billions in unnecessary legal fees. 


I personally have successfully negotiated a reduction from 33% to 22% for friends and family many times in my 30-year practice of law.  VictoryByVeterans.org will build a website that accomplishes similar discounts for veteran families across America.

As you may see, there will be a good number of lawyers who will want to join VINE because they will get more business at their usual profit margin of 22%, and not have to pay other lawyers the 11% advertising cushion. However, it will take time, organization, staffing, marketing, overhead and computer programming costs. And we will try to hire vets too!

Lawyers who don't choose to be in VINE can wait until the next year to get on the Veterans' Injury Network (VINE) list. Visitors to the VBV website will be allowed to see the contact information for lawyers in their state or city who agreed to give veterans a respectful, reduced rate for injury claims representation.



VictoryByVeterans.org is designed to help vets organize and to deal only with lawyers who agree to give veterans competitive prices for legal services. Vets deserve more money in their pockets and more respect from their injury lawyers! We can also help vets try to negotiate a rate with a lawyer whom they would prefer to use.

It's about time! 80 Year-old lawyer fee rates and procedures that were created during the Geat Depression have not changed and have fallen behind our advanced Internet Era online procedures used to collect unpaid medical bills!

This has caused a terrible "Perfect Storm" where veterans' families are being crushed into bankruptcy by unpaid medical bills! Technology has changed and so should the lawyers! Lawyers costs and risks have gone down considerably in the past 50 years.  As a result of this, lawyers need to pass their lower overhead onto veterans as lower rates! Now!


VictoryByVeterans will help organize and arraign lower rates for veterans across America!  Our mission is to save veterans' families from bankruptcy due to unpaid injury claim medical bills. "We don't just save money, we save families!" TM



When veterans' valuable injury settlement medical bills money is gone, many vet families go bankrupt! Then taxpayers foot the bill for the injured veterans' medical bills! Some ask, "Why do the “1/3rd standard fees” and the "referral finder’s fees" allowed under ABA Rule 1.5 stink so bad? Answer: Because 1/3rd is a turd! It stinks! Veterans are fighting back for their family's survival!

This following newspaper article shows how prevalent and huge referral finder's fees can be and how much they might cost veterans' families. This particular Pennsylvania family had over $800,000.00 taken out of their future medical bills funds just to pay a lawyer who did no legal work at all for her referral finder's fee!

When this family's medical bills fund runs out, and it will run out, that family will suffer $800K of bankruptcy and human misery! And then the taxpayers will pay the medical bills! VETERANS BEWARE!

Founder Mark Moran was shamelessly threatened by other lawyers with an officially requested court order that would fine Mark if he revealed more about the injury fee system in a public court.

Mark has resigned as a lawyer so that he can't be "gagged" by other lawyers who want him to shut up about the billions of dollars of "free money" lawyers have been taking in for decades. (Think about how long it took the government to reveal some of the truth about Agent Orange and PTSD!)


Mark stuck his neck out, (his family's home, his savings, his law licenses) and jumped on this grenade for veterans' families because Mark is a fellow veteran and the "free money" system has been taking future medical bills monies from unsuspecting injured people for decades. Mark knew that somebody who knew the truth had to jump on this grenade for the common good of injured people, especially veterans, or it would just keep happening like the movie "Groundhog Day."

Mark Moran's conscience could not allow veteran families to be written off over and over again by a judicial system that had not changed for 80 years and was causing families to be blown apart for reasons none of the injured veterans understood!

Mark founded VictoryByVeterans.org so that veterans can learn the startling truth about injury fees that has been buried for decades; truth that his dying father, a record-setting lawyer and a WWII fighter pilot, told Mark. Mark's father explained to Mark about how the injury fee system really worked and why.  Now lawyers want him to shut up about his father's revelations!

Please help veterans become educated about "The Truth", to organize through VictoryByVeterans.org and to stand up for their rights to their own money. Veterans have the right to know the truth about their own injury money! Injured veterans CAN handle "The Truth" Colonel Jessup!


The #1 cause of veterans' bankruptcy is unpaid medical bills. To help vets avoid bankruptcy, VBV created a unique "Robinhood Non-profit." We help veterans' take "Freedom Fees" money from the rich, in the form of fee reductions by injury lawyers, then it is given it to the poor injured veterans so they can pay for $8 Billion in medical bills and expenses!

Our unique business model is simple.

(1) We develop a nationwide network of lawyers; Veterans Injury Network - VINE. VINE lawyers will give injured veterans the same type of "professional courtesy discount" (Freedom Fees) that lawyers charge other lawyers. (22% instead of the standard 33%. Note: Most lawyers only net 22% anyway.) The VBV Freedom Fee discount will allow the average injured veteran family to keep extra thousands of dollars!

(2) We provide critical online information that can help the 150,000 injured veteran families per year avoid bankruptcy by not allowing valuable "medical bills funds" being taken from them as unnecessary lawyer fees.

(3) We help veteran families “Just Say No!” to lawyer referral fees and price fixing at a “1/3 standard fee.”

(4) Short Term Goal: Our 2017 Goal is to help 1,000 veteran families survive injury claims by saving maximum money on legal fees! [That should "raise" over Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000.00)
for injured vets' medical bill funds.]

(5) Long-Term Goal (5 Yr.): VBV will help veteran families save $8 Billion/Year of money they need to pay medical bills!

We have good company! The consumer-protective Colorado Supreme Court and the 21,000 lawyers in the Colorado Lawyers' Bar has totally prohibited lawyer referral finders' fee kickbacks in Rule 1.5(e)! VBV will be offering very reallistic savings to veterans across America on the on the same types fees that have been outlawed by the Colorado Supreme Court and Bar. [See Rule 1.5 (e) "Referral fees are prohibited."] LINK: http://www.cobar.org/For-Members/Opinions-Rules-Statutes/Rules-of-Professional-Conduct/Rule-15-Fees

VictoryByVeterans.org will lobby every state to follow Colorado's courageous actions that put the consumers' pocketbooks ahead of the lawyers' wallets.  Start blowing taps for unauthorized fees across America!


The sooner we start building a Veterans' Injury Network (VINE), the sooner we stop veterans' families from going bankrupt from unnecessary legal fees! This is not going to happen with us under-armed and under-funded! Fall in and donate, please!
