Hired Law Firm

Fantastic firm who really cares about their clients. They have experience advocating for their veteran clients to take on the VA which so often overlooks and denies claimants. Corrina was fantastic and I would call her right away if I ever have any future issues

This is the best Law Firm that I have ever worked with when it came to getting VA benefits. I highly recommend it, and I already recommend them to all of my disabled veteran colleagues at work who need professional help with VA Claims.

Hired Attorney Joshua Yambor

I decided to trust Berry Law after a serious personal injury accident, and I highly recommend that anyone in a similar situation do the same. Josh and Alex were incredible to work with throughout the entire process, making the experience as painless as possible. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and communicated professionally and promptly. Their expertise and care were evident at every step, and they made all the heavy lifting seem effortless. Most importantly, Josh and Alex went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for me and my family. These guys are true masters of their craft. Simply put, they are the ones you want on your side. I wholeheartedly recommend them to friends, family, and anyone in need of reliable legal representation.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

First of all I like to greatly Thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for guiding me to hire Berry Law Firm in representing for my VA disability claim process. This firm has stuck by me through this long but warrented endevor. I have finally acheived 100 percent P&T with an added Christmas bonus. Most notable are Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Tuesday- Hoffts for getting me there. They encourged me to fight in Trueth and in tenacity to obtain what is rightfully ours! Please Please Please as a veteran NEVER give up! From the bottom of my heart I wish every veteran blessings and encouragement! This Firm WILL get you there! God Bless!

Hired Law Firm

I have been fighting with the VA since 2017. In 2019, I had enough of doing it on my own, so I hired Berry Law to fight for me. I had a friend who was also in the same situation as me. He turned me to Berry Law. I live in Oklahoma. They did everything by email and phone with me. They always kept me in the loop as to what was going on. Whenever I had a question if they didn't answer the phone they would call back within the day. They got me to 100% P/T. This outcome has changed my life. I don't have to worry about finances nearly as much anymore. I am thankful for everything that they have done for me.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

I reached out to Berry Law firm, and Attorney Montana Crow paitently and tirelessly persuied both current claims and past denials. She successfully litigated and brought to light the issues. I was granted increases in disability ratings and former denials were granted. For years I was afraid of expensive attorney fees, and so lived with my disabilities, not knowing they (Berry Law firm) worked with disadvantaged veterans in this area. Thank you Attorney Crow,

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

it has been nothing but an honor to work with Stephanie on my disability claims. Because of her tenacity and compassion to veterans she was able to leap me over the hurdle and finally get 100% disability. Stephanie helped by connecting the dots from PSTD to secondary sleep apnea. Believe me when she file a claims, Stephanie uses her legal expertise and case law. Because of Stephanie, I won my appeal with the highest court. This gave me my final 10% to reach 100 permanent disability rating. Not only that they are now a part of my connected disabilities for future treatment. Bottom line if you want to win, you’ve got to contact Stephanie she is the best. She is still fighting for me and trying to move back my disability affective dates unbelievable.

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.
