Working with attorney Jamie Bell was a pleasure. She is very knowledgeable and pleasant person to work with. I will definitely use her in the future. She worked hard on the case from the onset and found an avenue to increase my VA benefits that had not been previously explored from vso's that I had used prior. I highly recommend her to all veterans

I learned about Berry Law from a very good frien, Chad Collins, their previous COO. I reached out to Berry Law, and within days I was contacted by Mr. David Ossian and his amazing coworker, Melissa. With little effort and no payment on my part, Mr. Ossian’s expertise changed my rating from 60% to 100% Disabled and Unemployable! This drastically improved my quality of life, as the VA granted me Home-Based Care, due to my very limited mobility and inability to drive. I honestly do not know what I would have done without the dedication and expertise of Mr. Ossian, Melissa and Berry Law. And I didn’t pay one penny out of pocket! I highly recommend Berry Law and Mr. Ossian and Melissa to any veteran whose VA rating does not reflect the level of their disability after dedicating their life to serving America and sacrificing their health. You won’t be sorry.

This firm saves lives. Don't pay up front money with little or no results. This firm works strictly on won cases. If you are a veteran, trust no one else. We lost a friend to suicide when he paid a different firm $5000 up front with no results. This firm helps veterans reclaim their lives. We thank them for everything.

Abbie was very helpful from the start and was always looking into getting the best outcome through my case; she worked really hard on everything and she is simply the best at what she does. I am grateful for her responsiveness and communication through my whole case.

On top of all the tags, he was absolutely wonderful. I have never had to do anything legal like this before and he made the whole process easy and clean. He was accommodating, friendly, and an open (and good) communicator. Thank you so much for taking a less than ideal situation and making it go smoothly. I appreciate you greatly, highly recommend.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel Collins has helped me navigate and understand my legal rights as a victim in an almost fatal auto accident in Omaha NE summer of 2023. My initial response was hesitant that I could recover all the money I had needlessly to spend for my post-car-accident medical care, therapies for my injuries, cost of hotel and additional car rentals. After going over the details of my car accident (not my fault at all), Rachel has explained the whole matter more clearly to me and was able to help me recover the losses I have suffered. Rachel, thank you for your professional, patient and great service! - Peter, Park Ridge, IL

Krystal is extremely knowledgeable on veterans benefits and was very helpful in getting my claim submitted. I have recommended her to several of my veteran friends that were hesitant to file claims due to their lack of understanding.

Montana was excellent to work with. Very straightforward, honest, and responsive. Removed the burden and understanding from my shoulders and adeptly and expertly ran with it. Absolutely worth it. Saved my sanity and well-being.

Saying Thank you, sometimes doesn't feel enough. It only scratches the surface in Thanking my unbelievable Attorney Seth Chambers and his incredible Legal Assistant, Angela, who both represent Berry Law Firm. Prior to this Life-Changing experience, I tried representing myself, long story short I didn't realize the magnitude of the journey. From day one, Seth rolled up his sleeves, took my info, stayed fully committed and on task. Seth's super power is being a Veteran himself, made a huge difference. He has innate empathy for Veterans. He personally understands our pain and anguish. It’s hard to relate to someone's hardship, if you haven't walked a mile in their shoes. His incredible Legal Assistant Angela matches his energy and work ethic. She answers all calls/emails promptly. She's top-notch! Together, we achieved TDIU status. I'm still crying from relief. Call Berry Law firm right now and attain justice for yourself! You're welcome.

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.
