Hired Law Firm

Retaining Berry Law Firm will be the smartest decision you'll ever make for yourself. Berry Law Firm hires professional, impeccably trained attorneys who all have the "human touch". They're compassionate, empathetic and trustworthy. Mr. Seth Chambers handled my case. Being a Veteran he uniquely serves his comrades by fully understanding and being able to relate to their plight. He's humble, very understanding and explains things to his customers on a level that they can understand. I've spoken to many law firms in the past, the respect that I received from Berry Law Firm, tops them all. Seth Chambers, along with his dynamic assistant, Angela, collectively helped me to achieve 100% TDIU. Considering I suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, severe insomnia and unfortunately have experienced suicidal thoughts and ideation, it's a relief to know that I'm taken care of as I am no longer able to work and sustain myself. Thank you graciously, Seth and Angela!!!!

Working with her made everything easy she wanted to take the workload and the questions that I had on her own plate which made it very convenient she relieved my stress by anxiety by resting me assured that she would do everything in her possible power to give me the best outcome which she did for that I'm very grateful I would recommend her for any of my friends family or just anybody who is looking for a personal injury lawyer.

Samantha helped me through the process and kept me informed. I got scheduled for an exam quickly and the report went through right away. I was very pleased with the results and my claim was approved. It was so much better than dealing directly with the VA.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel was a godsend. The injuries we sustained in an accident made it very difficult to not just deal with their insurance company, but also to focus fully on our recovery. Contacting her for help was one of the wisest decisions we could have made. She not just handled our case, but she was also so caring while doing so. Her advice and experience were spot on. I can't give her or her team enough praise. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She was amazing! Thank you Rachel for all your help!

They are a blessing and truly helped my case. I am thankful someone recommended Barry law to me or else I would still be fighting the VA. I have fought them for a long time and Barry law was able to quickly and effectively get the compensation I deserved. Just like it was recommended to me, I want to carry the message to there and say go straight them.

David and his team from Berry Law did all the heavy lifting for me and advocated for me professionally and compassionately. I got to 100 and couldn't be more satisfied. David and his team followed up with me and they explained everything so easily. It was a no brainer to go through them.

Hired Law Firm

I am a Army veteran and I put in my claim for a disability on my own 2 years ago. My initial claim was denied. I heard about Berry Law from a fellow Military Veteran. I contacted them and they immediately began helping me with appealing my claim. Allison Schwach from Berry Law was very determined to assist with my appeal of my previously denied disability claim. Allison Schwach kept me updated every step of the way, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Allison Schwach of Berry Law worked diligently fighting for my claim. Her hard work resulted in my appeal being approved and me getting an increase in my disability from 10% to 30%. I am very pleased with this outcome and I will definitely reach out to them in the future. I recommend Berry Law to anyone who needs help.

Hired Attorney Jason Thomas

This was the scariest yet most rewarding decision I ever made. Thank you Mr. Thomas and the entire staff of Patriots helping those of us who served and just didn't know the system well enough to present a; what was suppose to be a no brainer to 14 years of ring around the rosies. If you are thinking about hiring an attorney? You are in the right place. I just can't thank them enough for bringing me from 10 to 100 percent and the time was well managed. This is the firm you want representing you. Don't wait, its life changing!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
