Biography

Joshua Sylvia is an experienced attorney who has worked in VA Disability for over a decade. Since 2015, he has worked in the Veteran’s disability field, first as a paralegal and later as an attorney beginning in 2021. Mr. Sylvia earned his J.D. from Roger Williams University School of Law in 2021, graduating summa cum laude. He is also accredited by the VA to handle veteran’s cases at the Regional Office, Board, and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

After almost 10 years representing thousands of disabled veterans at Chisholm, Chisholm & Kilpatrick, Mr. Sylvia joined Citadel Law Firm in November 2024 as a Supervising Attorney.

Joshua Sylvia has extensive experience working cases that involve exposure to herbicide agents, Persian Gulf War illnesses, Special Monthly Compensation, and claims involving Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU).  He also developed evidence that later supported the precedential decision of Cantrell v. Shulkin, which clarified the VA’s evaluation of marginal and sheltered employment for TDIU claims. 

With his dedication and passion for VA Disability law, Mr. Sylvia is well-equipped to handle the complex cases that our clients face.
