Denied? Read the letter. If it says "Condition not Service Connected," it means they agree you are hurt, but don't think the military caused it. This is not a dead end.
You don't necessarily need a lawyer or a judge. You likely just need New and Relevant Evidence. A strong Nexus Letter from a private specialist counts as "New Evidence" and allows you to file a Supplemental Claim to overturn the denial quickly.
If you are preparing that next packet, start with the VA rating decision letter evidence checklist, then use the VA supplemental claim evidence checklist to match the new evidence to the exact denial reason before you submit VA Form 20-0995.
