Hired Law Firm

My experience with Berry Law, specifically Seth Chambers and Missy was exceptional. Before I came to them, I was struggling to navigate the VA claims process and wasn't sure how to move forward with my claims. I discovered them through a friend's recommendation and reached out to their team for assistance. Seth and Missy were knowledgeable, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process, helping me to understand my options and advocating on my behalf. Thanks to their efforts, I received a very favorable decision on my claims and the appropriate compensation to manage my health condition. I am extremely satisfied with the service I received and would recommend them to anyone seeking assistance with their VA claims.

I struggled with getting Benifits I deserved from the VA after serving in the Persian Gulf War (Desert Storm). A friend of mine to me about Sarah at Berry Law. I contacted Sarah and she helped me get the treatment that I need/deserved from the VA. Sarah and her team are amazing. I have told all my friends that have served and need help. I just want to say to Sarah and her team “Job well done and thank you”.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

Hiring a lawyer to handle my veteran claims didn't really appeal to me, but my wife assured me that Montana was the one that would be doing it and that her success rate was amazing, I thought that it would get dragged out so that they would make more money off my back pay. I talked with Montana about her plan and she made me feel very comfortable moving forward by giving specific details of what was going to happen from then on. She answered all my questions and concerns and kept me in the loop about any and everything that was going on. Three months later I received 90% and two weeks after that I was awarded my 100%!! I definitely would recommend Montana to anyone and everyone who would ask me about a lawyer without a doubt. She is amazing!!

Matt Bartling and McCain Vasa provided a level of competence on VA appeals that allowed me to get increased compensation that had previously been denied on numerous occasions by the VA. Berry Law came to my attention from the radio talk show for veterans hosted by Denny Gillem on Frontlines of Freedom. This increase in compensation will allow me to have a better quality of life by allowing me to have assistance with all activities of daily life. Thank you for your professional attitude and approach to my problem.

I have such a great experience with Berry Law. I was assigned Jamie Bell, and it was the best thing that happened in my whole VA case. I have a long story, with a lot of ups and downs. Jamie listened to everything I said, and then helped me find the records. The team communicated with me through-out the steps, and helped me navigate not only the VA, but my emotions as well.

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.
