Seth Chambers is very prompt at informing me of any VA actions on my case. Seth always delivers notifications of changes as soon as he receives them. When he sees issue that he feels needs to be address further by the VA, he always contact me to advises me of any action he feels is appropriate, he then gives me the final say before submitting any appeal.
Daniel - we appreciate you taking time to leave a 5-star review for Seth and the great communication that you received.

We appreciate you leaving a 5-star review for David Ossian and Berry Law!
Working with Montana was a great experience. She is knowledgeable, considerate, compassionate and extremely attentive. She took great care of me. After many attempts on my own and almost losing hope, Montana was able to get me, my 100% rating. She is a wonderful individual and a professional sharp lawyer. I highly recommend Montana. I am forever grateful to her and all she did for me.
David and Jamie have been great to work with they are attentive and quick to respond to any questions I may have. David and his team have exceeded my expectations and guided me through the process. I would highly suggest other Veterans work with David and his team for they have done more than I have asked and continue to help me with my other claims.
The legal representation offered by David and Berry Law is top notch! David goes above and beyond in reviewing my service record, analyzing my initial C&P exams, and requesting additional exams. The diligence and expertise in seeking the compensation I deserve from my service connected disabilities is a valuable service that all veterans with disabilities should utilize!

Seth Chambers was excellent in communicating throughout my case, and was phenomenally helpful after my first case was approved—even in submitting new claims that he did not have to assist me with. I would highly recommend Mr. Chambers and Berry Law to those who need assistance with their VA claims.

Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
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.
