About Dax J. Lonetto, Sr.

Since Dax Lonetto established his practice in 2014, it has always had a single clear focus — serving and representing those individuals with disabilities or injuries who are seeking to collect benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration.

By maintaining this specific focus for hundreds of claimants and veterans to date, Dax has managed to hone his skills as an advocate and counselor in this field. He knows exactly what needs to be done to ensure that clients receive their benefits, and doesn’t rest until they do.

  • Thoroughly evaluate your benefits claim.
  • Ask questions and gather details in whatever language is most comfortable for you, including but not limited to English and Spanish.
  • Assess and thoroughly explain the steps needed to move forward.
  • Create and file all required paperwork, ensuring that it’s done right the first time.
  • Represent you in court at any hearings, as needed; and
  • Communicate with you regularly, and stay on top of your case until it’s been won and your benefits have been collected.

About Dax Lonetto

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Dax J. Lonetto, Sr., Esq. has a long history of success. He graduated with highest honors from Jesuit High School in 1998, then went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Marketing & Finance with a minor in Spanish from Florida State University, again graduating with honors in 2002.

Soon after this, Dax made the decision to pursue law, and entered the College of Law at Florida State University. He earned his Juris Doctorate in 2005, was admitted to the Florida Bar that same year, and has since gone on to be admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Since 2007, Dax has been a member of  NOVA (the National Organization of Veterans Advocates) of NOSSCR (the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives).

Dax was also selected for inclusion in the Latino American Who’s Who and was featured in the third volume of their publication. Credentials aside, Dax cares deeply about what he does and the people he represents. He is dedicated to the cause of helping those with disabilities or injuries who have given their service to the United States as veterans or workers. What Dax understands better than most is that this group has traditionally been underserved both by government agencies and by other legal services, in spite of the contributions they’ve made. This is why he’s made it his mission to balance those scales one client at a time. Dax, who is fluent in both English and Spanish, also understands that language can be a barrier to receiving these kinds of benefits. This is why he’s committed to serving clients regardless of their primary language, by whatever means works best for them.

Client Experiences

What People Say About Dax Lonetto …

“I was referred to Mr. Lonetto by a former client. I do not regret coming to his office. Since walking through the door the staff is very attentive, welcoming and helpful. Mr. Lonetto was very attentive and very diligent to the situation I was facing. He didn’t waste any time to take my case and represent me. I am very thankful for his professionalism and his passion for helping our family and the Tampa Bay community.”
Mr. Morales
“Dax and his staff are the greatest! I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. I will definitely recommend your services to any other vets I know. Thank you Dax for being such an amazing and caring person!”
KM
“Dax Lonetto Won For Me! I wish to advise all veterans that if you have been turned down by the VA for disability, you should contact Dax Lonetto. The VA denied my disability in 2015. I contacted Mr. Lonetto and for the next four years he battled the VA on my behalf. After denial after denial, he sent it to a higher review board. The review board then awarded my disability, and I received back pay for over four years. This would NEVER have happened without the hard work of Dax Lonetto. We lost battle after battle but he won the war for me! Give him a call.”
Rick
“I want to take this opportunity to thank and to recommend the services of Dax J. Lonetto Sr., Esq. to any Veteran that is applying for or having issues with the VA disability award process. I sought Mr. Lonetto’s assistance after my justifiable claim was denied by the VA. Through Mr. Lonetto’s recommendations, I obtained supporting statements from my VA physician, plus a non-VA medical expert in the field. Both were in agreement with my claim and Mr. Lonetto submitted the new supporting documentation. The VA again denied my claim. Dax then appealed and represented me for a new, or fresh look (de novo), by a higher level VA representative. My claim was approved! Granted, this process took many months for the VA to accomplish, but because of this attorney’s expertise, I was successful. If you have a valid claim, I can think of no one else to better serve you and to recommend a course of action, plus provide faithful representation than Dax J. Lonetto Sr.”
Daniel
“Highly recommend [Dax] Lonetto my husband has been fighting for social security for more than 5 years he was denied supposedly Morgan and Morgan were the best when they denied him. Then we hired dad Lonetto and he helped him win the case! Thanku Mr. Lonetto!”
Cookie Tavarez
“I am a Desert Storm Veteran. Dax Lonetto was instrumental in helping me receive all the benefits I deserve. He knows the system so well, the VA responded with excellent results. I am also receiving SSDI which Dax one again fought for my benefits. He is the most caring and personable lawyer I have ever know. I am so glad I found Dax Lonetto and would recommend him to anyone seeking assistance with VA or SS claims. Thank you Dax … you’re the greatest!”
Ken
“Dax and his team were phenomenal. The VA had denied my disability claim for Service Connected Sleep Apnea. Dax handled everything for me. All of our correspondence was handled through email and phone, so I never had to travel up to the lawyer’s office. He filed my appeal, scheduled an appointment with a civilian doctor, and after about a 12 month wait, the VA approved my claim and I received the increased VA disability rating, plus the back pay from the date I originally filed my claim. I would highly recommend Dax for any VA disability claims.”
Justin Puckett
“Dax worked diligently for 4 years to successfully get all of our Appeals and Claims to the VA accepted and resolved. He [is] extremely competent and always kept us informed as to what to do, when to do it and what not to do. His office is great to work with. Really appreciate him and highly recommend Dax for VA Appeal and Claim work!”
Philip Thompson
“Mr. Lonetto is professional, efficient and effective. He has extensive knowledge of VA Regulations and how to navigate the complex claims processing within the Department. In my case, he studied my file and proposed a road map that resulted in an increase of my disability rating in a fairly short period of time. I am very happy with my decision of engaging Mr. Lonetto to assist me in my case. I will not hesitate to use him again in the future and I recommend him to anyone needing an attorney to assist with VA disability claims.”
Milton D. Vazquez, Sr.

“I highly recommend Mr. Lonetto! He was very professional, helpful, and courteous. He was able to guide me through the whole process, and answered all the questions I had. Mr. Lonetto was able to get my case approved the first time in front of the judge. Thank you for helping me and my family!”
Diana Padjune
“Successfully Appealed the Claim In Connection With My Fibromyalgia And G.I. Disorders. Dax Lonetto Won For Me!!!! Dax and his team were phenomenal. The S.S initially denied my disability claim for benefits in connection with my fibromyalgia and G.I. disorders. Dax handled everything for me. He filed my appeal, scheduled an appointment with the court, and after a wait of about a year and 2 months, the S.S. approved my claim without me having to go to the court. I would highly recommend Dax as your attorney for any disability claims. He is compassionate and caring – God bless you and your family, always. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done.”
