21 OCT 2024 · Heidi Hrabcak graduated from Capital Law School in 2003. After being sworn in Heidi practiced law in the areas of employment law and civil litigation. Through this experience, she gained extensive trial advocacy skills and learned to effectively fight for client’s rights.
After litigating cases at the state and federal level, Heidi found her passion for advocacy was leading elsewhere. She wanted to help people and give them a voice.
In 2009 her father, a former interrogator during the Vietnam War, wanted assistance with his VA claim. His appeal had been pending for over five years. Heidi didn’t have any experience in VA law, but decided to take on her dad’s appeal. Through the process she found that her skills in litigation blended nicely with those required of a veteran’s law attorney.
After ten years of practicing veteran’s law she is familiar with the VA system and knows what the VA commonly misses in veteran’s claims. Her vision is to win veteran’s claims by using due diligence, listening and implementing an artful strategy. Not one case is the same, and that is what she likes most about veteran’s law.
She is licensed to practice law in the States of Ohio and West Virginia and accredited by the VA to represent Veterans world-wide. She represents Veterans before the VA Regional Office, Board of Veterans Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

She is a Daughter of a Trucker so it runs in the blood. AT 5'2, other Truckers we're always amazed when she would get out of the truck, after backing into many tight places around Columbus and surrounding areas.
Ms. Scott, knew after her divorced that she had to Put her "Big Girl Panties" on and get out there and provide for herself. So she consulted with her Father, who himself was a trucker for over 55 years.
She knew she needed to make a lot of money and a lot of money fast. She she traded in her heels and suits for a Big Rig and Boots. She Trucked for over Seven years. And loves being a Trucker!
While Trucking in Columbus and Throughout the Region, she saw how much the City and the Surrounding areas had grown. One day at a Delivery Stop in the BIG Rig, she had to use the restroom facilities, but the Warehouse she was delivering at, didn't have facilities for the Truckers. In desperate needs, she had to hold it until her next available stop, but while in the moment, she got a bright idea.....When you're in a Semi, you have plenty of "Windshield" Time, so you have lots of time to think!
and thus the light bulb was bright in her head. With a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, Ms. Scott started doing her research and saw that the Portable Restroom Business is an extremely Lucrative business. So she started preparing a Business Plan and talking to her local Banker. They praised her Business Plan and put together a Small Business Loan package and Ms. Scott had prepared herself Financially to make the leap and resign from her Trucking Company and Start what we will get to know as her own Empire, Trucker Jons.
Ms. Scott looks to put the Posh in the Porta Potty Business!!
