I am so fortunate to have Samantha represent Me with my v a disability claim. She was so personable and explained everything to me and any questions I had throughout the two year process. She was quick. To respond And put my mind at ease. The way she responded back to the VA with her knowledge of writing was superb. And without her I wouldn't be nowhere Except in despair and would have given up.
Jamie Bell with Berry Law Firm was wonderful! Any questions I had she was there with a answer based off of years of experience. Berry law Firm was able to push my claim across the finish line from 80-100 percent!
Attorney Josh Yambor was awesome! Josh is a very knowledgeable and experienced personnel injury attorney. When I had any questions or concerns Josh would always respond in a timely manner, he would take the time to address my questions or concerns so I’m heard and at ease with my case. If I’m ever injured in a wreck again, I want Josh Yambor to represent me. He is the best personal injury attorney that I know. I will recommend Josh to anyone that is looking for a personal injury attorney. I wasn’t sure who to turn to after being rear ended and suffering extensive injuries to my back and hip! Josh Yambor fiercely represented me and got the result in my case that I deserved. If I’m ever injured in a wreck again, there is only one person to call and that is Josh Yambor at Berry Law!
After my car accident I thought everything would be taken care of by the other insurance company since the accident was not my fault. It became apparent after weeks of not getting a straight answer or not being able to talk to the person who was assigned to my case (who happened to be from a different time zone) as well as being transferred to call centers outside of the US that I needed to sit down with an attorney. I am so grateful that I went to Berry Law and met with Evan. He listened and asked his questions so patiently with me. He took care of everything for me. I didn’t have to speak to any of the insurance companies after that. My stress level went from a 10 to 0 allowing me to just concentrate on recovering. He would check in with me consistently to see how I was doing and to let me know how negotiations were going. Evan is professional, knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Evan Daniel Stein will forever be my first recommendation to others!
They are pitbulls in disguise. They will not quit until they get you want you want. I would reccomend them to any service member that has filed a claim and was unsuccessful. They will change things around in your favor. The VA is expecting a number of claims to fail and for you to give up. Don't do it call Berry Law and see what happens. Good Luck.
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and has a variety of illnesses relating to exposure to Agent Orange. Prior to being recommend to Samantha Robb, we applied for disability compensation and found the process a bit overwhelming. We made a few mistakes along the way (forgot to sign one form) and that only lengthen the time for our paperwork to be processed. Once we made contact with Samantha Robb, we felt very lucky to be in her care. She explained the process of what she was going to do, she kept us advised of the progress. Most importantly, she never made me feel that I was asking too many questions (which I sure I was). If I sent an email, I usually got an answer that day or the very next morning. We feel very blessed to have Samantha Robb on our "team". She and her staff at Berry Law are the BEST!!
Life changing experience. I have battled with the VA for years trying to navigate the claim process and just wasn't able to get anywhere and I finally decided I needed help so I reached out to Berry Law. Quickly I was connected with T.J. Kroh and his team and immediately I knew I was in good hands. They took over my case and kept me informed every step of the way. I would reach out impatiently and no sooner than I could refresh my inbox T.J. would always have a professional response for me letting me know where I was in the process. Even after successfully completing my claim and getting me to 100% they were right back at it the next day fighting for me once again to get dates fixed to make sure that I am getting everything that is owed to me. Thanks again T.J. to you and everyone on your team for your extreme professionalism and everything that you have done for me and my children!
I had a great experience with Berry's law firm! I highly recommend it. They were able to get me more than I thought I could get. I appreciate Jason and the team for being very helpful and responsive throughout the process. They answered all of my phone calls and emails quickly, providing more than I needed to get my claims approved. You won’t find a law firm that will work harder for you. Initially, I was doubtful that I would make it through the process, as I was trying to do everything on my own. I had no clue about the laws, the process, or the ins and outs of it. If you’ve been trying to handle things on your own and have gotten nowhere, Berry Law is the right choice for you. Just permit them to work on your claim and they take it from there. Thanks to Jason and Berry Law Firm!
Worked with thomas and Berry law firm. They were very attentive to what I needed as far as assistance with the Va. They fought hard for me over the years and got me the results I deserved. I am truly grateful for their assistance. Highly recommen
Samantha was very professional, honest and caring about my case. She has great personal pride in helping Veterans with their cases with the Veterans Association. Samantha helped me win a long and tedious appeal process with the VA. Hi highly recommend Berry Law and Samantha Robb for any VA related services. You will not go wrong with her.
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.
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.
