Javier Centonzio
Javier Centonzio is the Managing Partner of Girard & Centonzio, Veterans Disability Lawyers, where he focuses exclusively on VA disability compensation claims and appeals before the Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. A VA-accredited attorney and former Infantryman in the United States Marine Corps and Kansas Army National Guard, Javier brings both personal and professional insight to his advocacy for veterans and their families.
Inspired by the sacrifice of his friend, Sgt. Jessie Davila, who was killed in action during their deployment to Iraq, Javier dedicated his legal career to serving veterans. He previously interned with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Regional Counsel, and The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program, where he also contributed to the National Veterans Legal Services Program’s Veterans Benefits Manual.
Javier later clerked for the Hon. Robert N. Davis at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, gaining extensive experience in veterans law and appellate advocacy. Today, he represents veterans nationwide in disability compensation claims and appeals, helping veterans and their families secure the benefits they have earned through their service.
