Hired Attorney Jason Thomas

I wholeheartedly urge my fellow veterans to Call Jason Thomas and Berry Law for assistance with your VA claims! You won’t be sorry. My long experience dealing with the VA has taught me several lessons: we need expert help winning everything we deserve from VA; and there is no doubt Jason Thomas and his team at Berry Law Firm are your best help in that fray. I first heard of the Berry Firm after I had already received “help” from two different supposed solid veteran advocates, and the quagmire they left me in left me feeling ready to give up. My last hope was a referral to Berry Law, and what a difference the right attorney makes! Jason Thomas’ hard work has won me benefits, increases and we're still working! He is a great communicator, responds and explains, exactly what we need navigating this confusing, daunting VA system. You earned your benefits sacrificing your health in service to your country - call Jason for help!

After my sleep apnea claim was denied for being service-connected, I reached out to Berry Law and they not only filed for appeal but they filed all my other claims. Without their assistance and hard work, I wouldn't have had my upgrade to 100%. I am grateful for Berry Law and its service to our service veterans!

I worked with Sean Shepherd and he by far exceeded my expectations. Hardworking and definitely felt like he was fighting for me. He would answer all of my questions in a timely manner. He explained everything to me so there was no confusion.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Had never hired an attorney before hiring Rachel, but do not regret the decision. I was on a motorcycle and rear ended stopping for a red light, the motorcyclist behind me decided to attempt to run it. I was part of a ride to participate in a flag line for a veterans committal service when hit. Was hospitalized twice, due to the accident and I was unable to attend my beloved Aunt's funeral because of this accident. I had no idea what was to come with the medical bills, but having Rachel represent me was a blessing while I was healing. Rachel was compassionate, understanding and always responsive to my questions. I am incredulous of what Rachel was able to accomplish in settlement due to her negotiating skills, and knowledge. I cannot express how glad I was to have Rachel represent me in this case. A settlement can never replace what is lost in life, or what one has to endure, but in my case, I can honestly say Rachel was able to give me the best possible outcome.

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

Stephanie Costello help me tremendously. Back when I got out in 2019 from the army I was awarded 80% disability, for whatever reason the va took some percentage away for whatever reason. I tried to fight and do it myself but was not getting anywhere. I heard of berry law firm and decided to give a try. Not only did Costello won my case we still have other claim we waiting for the board of veteran appeals. If everything goes right I will have a big check dated back since 2020. Costello responded to all my emails and kept me inform on the next step for the plan of action. At first I thought everything was moving slow but it wasn't because of her. The va in generally is very slow. Now here is the timeline. 2020-2021 I was able to go from 80% to 90 and 2023 I went from 90 to 93%. 2024 Costello won my case to 100% as P&T. Not only did she win my case but she still fighting other claims for me making sure I get what I'm entitled to. I referred alot of veterans to her. She has amazing work.

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.
