Working with my lawyer was an outstanding experience. Aimee and her team always took the time to explain and reexplain if needed. I loved that my lawyer was a veteran. I’ve recommended Berry Law, and Aimee Robeson to a colleague and they helped him achieve a fair rating as well.

I was greeted by a friendly caring professional staff. My team of Jamie Bell and her legal assistant Jazsmin Cryer are extremely knowledgeable on all claim procedures and are always there to address any of my concerns. I would definitely recommend Berry Law to any of my fellow veterans who are tired of dealing with VSO'S and being denied by the V.A.

I came to Berry Law seeking assistance to appeal a VA decision to deny unemployability for service-connected disabilities. After researching all my options and firms I could go with, I chose Berry Law based on the successful results they have achieved representing other veterans. Matt Bartling (Lincoln Office) is very knowledgeable regarding veteran appeals. His efforts were pivotal as we moved forward through each step of the process. He was always easy to contact with any questions I had and made things very easy to understand. Thanks to Berry Law and Matt Bartling, our appeal was successful in achieving the outcome we were fighting for. I highly recommend contacting Berry Law if you are contemplating an appeal on any VA decisions. They have a top-notched team of professionals available to assist you every step of the way. This has been a true financial blessing for my family and I’m appreciative of the services provided by Berry Law firm. They fight for Vets.

I was talking to a veteran when I was in Florida. He was telling me if I wasn't satisfied with the decision the VA gave me on my claims I should call Berry Law Firm. The lawyers are veterans that work for veterans to get the benefits they deserve. Corrina B.and her legal assistant Avery D. are Great for they got me more than I ever thought and still working for me. So if you're unhappy or need help call Berry Law Firm.

In addition to thanking the extraordinary staff of Berry Law Firm, there are a few specific people who worked my case, who were directly involved in the multitude of steps that had to be completed to achieve the heaven-sent 100% DA rating that will definitely make a positive change in my life. David Ossian, working with Missy and Tuesday, achieved the vital status that will ensure I have health care for the rest of my life, but without huge invoices to pay. Thank you, David, Missy, Tuesday and the rest of Berry Law Firm for the priceless service they provide to us veterans. They are serving this country, too!

Hired Attorney Evan Daniel Stein

If you ever want a knowledgeable + Attorney please contact Evan Stein at Berry Law. I had the honor of working with Evan over this past months in my Auto Injury claim. He always stayed in touch, explained the process, walked me thru the necessary steps with how this normally works. The amount of energy and confidence he brought to the table was reassuring and for that I'm grateful. My claim doubled through Evan Steins continued pressing for everything I deserved. I definitely recommend Evan Stein at Berry Law. Norma White Nov 2023

I highly recommend Berry Law! I was talking about how daunting some of my claims with the VA can be with one of my battle buddies. He said he had been using Berry Law and that I should give them a call and see if they can help. I gave it a shot and spoke with Seth Chambers and decided to sign on. I worked with him and Missy and everything went great. They both were really easy to work with and always quick to answer any of my questions. Due to their hard work they got my rating from 40% to 80% and I couldn’t have been happier.

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.
