At Berry Law Firm, I have encountered one of the most professional teams I dealt with. It took 12 years to do my way submittals, and they completed the process with a positive outcome in three months. Thanks, Corrina and Melissa, for the excellent service and continuous communication at every phase of the process. /r Alex P.

I couldn't be happier with my results from Berry law! Stephani Bennett went above and beyond to settle my case with the Veterans Affairs Administration. Although, my case took some time to finalize, Berry Law stood behind my every step of the way. Albeit there was a period of time when it appeared that I would not prevail in obtaining a positive result regarding my case - Berry Law continued to fight on my behalf and exhausted every resource within the statutes of the law. Because of Berry Laws' persistence and unwavering dedication to their clients; may case was settled with the desired results. Thank you to all the attorneys and staff for all your assistance. I will recommend Berry Law to fellow veterans, as well as family and friends. God Bless!
When my previous VA case representative retired, I was concerned that the new representative in my Case with the VA wouldn’t understand all the details and circumstances of my case. David quickly learned all the details of my case and has been a great partner in getting all my issues resolved with the VA. He is knowledgeable, professional and extremely responsive to any questions or issues that come up in my case. He put all of my concerns to rest and resolved my case successfully. Thank you for all of your help David and Berry Law Firm. Definitely couldn’t have done it without you.
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.
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.
