Berry Law has been beyond amazing for my husband. They helped him navigate the VA disability process and made things less confusing. He is now getting all the help that he needs to get better. This would not have happened without Berry Law. A special thanks goes out to his Case Manager Sarah, who was always available, fought for him, and always answered our questions.

I had the pleasure of working with Orron Hill and his exceptional assistant, Avery, for my VA disability case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Orron's expertise and dedication to his clients are truly commendable. He navigated through the complexities of my case with ease, providing insightful guidance every step of the way. Avery's professionalism and efficiency ensured that all the necessary paperwork and communications were handled promptly and accurately. Together, they make an outstanding team that delivers results. I highly recommend Orron Hill and Avery at Berry Law to anyone in need of top-notch representation for their VA disability claims.

Berry Law was awesome. I heard of them through a family friend and figured giving them a phone call wouldn't hurt. After a quick discussion, I was told that I would get a call back the next day if I qualified. I actually received a call the NEXT DAY. Would you believe it? Berry Law are experts about disabilities, their potential ratings, and the ways VA works to handle ratings.

Berry Law and the entire Berry Law team did an amazing job on my case. I am especially grateful for Corrina Bartels; she personalized my situation and made me feel valued. She listened, explained, answered all my questions, and guided me through the entire process. My case involved a disability case with the VA. Before reaching out to Berry Law, I tried to submit my own claim only to be denied on several occasions. When I reached out to other providers, they only made recommendations on how I should submit. When I found Berry Law, everything changed. Corrina, outlined the efforts and navigated through the VA processes by clearly articulating my situation to the VA. I am impressed with the Berry Law team, their experience and understanding of the VA and the military. Corrina and the entire Berry Law Team took all the stress away from me and carried the burden. They valued me and treated me with the utmost respect. I highly recommend Berry Law and Corrina Bartels.

I am a current client of Berry Law, the attorney has been outstanding when it comes to dealing with the cases that have been denied. After my attorney reached out to six of my cases that were denied with an appeal. Those cases are now open with the VA admitting that they did not review medical paperwork. Three of those cases find themselves in a favorable decision towards me at this time. I recommend attorney JT Kroh to anyone who needs a good person. I am very satisfied with very long and JT Kroh.

I’m so grateful for Berry Law. With their help I was able to get my disability increase in less than 2 months. I’ve been putting off going for an increase because I was dreading the process but Berry Law made it so easy. I wish I used them years ago.

Hired Attorney Michael J. Wilson

Mike assisted me with a difficult criminal matter. His expertise provided me with facts and gave me an unbiased look at options and dispositions. He was available when I had questions and kept me abreast of case information. We were very lucky to have gotten the best outcome possible, and I believe that is because Mr. Wilson was an integral part of my defense. If I should ever need another attorney, I'll be giving him another call indeed!

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.
