Hired Attorney Samantha Robb

Cant say enough about Samantha and the work she did for me and my claims cases with veterans affairs. Always attentive with any question Ive had and always got back to me within 24 hours. Can't say the same about other lawyers Ive had in the past. Shes made feel like my cases actually matter to her and the professionalism and work she put in has paid off because she helped me go from a 10% va disability rating to 90%, and all i had to do was sit back and let her do her job. Which was huge for me and my stress levels during this process. 100% recommend her and Berry Law to any of my fellow military veterans that need help navigating the va claims process

Corrina & the folks at Berry Law were very professional with communication on time frames that we would hear back from the VA. If a denial letter was sent Berry Law was back at it with appeals till the case was won. At the end of the day I received 100% P&T.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

First off, I was referred to Barry Law from my insurance agent. From the moment that I contacted them until the last possible moment, I felt extremely cared for. I called them very distraught about a car accident that I was the victim of and was still suffering with a lot of physical pain from that. Then trying to deal with all the medical claims, the other person’s insurance & my new medical appointments was just overwhelming for me. Rachel and her team not only took the stress off of it for me, but they communicated thoroughly & continued to inform me of every step of the entire process. They were able to keep all the providers from sending me over to collections & ended up winning my case so that I was able to pay all the medical providers and even get my savings account paid back after having to purchase a new vehicle. I honestly can’t say enough about the way that they took care of this all for me. If you’re considering hiring them, do it! You’d be foolish not to.

Mykaylan made every step of the legal process very easy for me. She explained everything along the way. She was very responsive and communicated throughout the entire process. I was able to complete the entire process through phone calls and emails. She was very professional. I would highly recommend Mykaylan and Berry Law Firm to others.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Jacob Frys at Berry Law. From the very beginning, Jacob approached my case with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. He took the time to really understand my situation and walked me through every step of the process. What stood out the most was how responsive and knowledgeable he was—he always made me feel like I was a priority, not just another file. Navigating the VA disability system can feel overwhelming, but Jacob’s guidance made it clear and manageable. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I was able to move from 80% to 100% Permanent and Total disability—a life-changing outcome for me and my family. I truly appreciate his persistence, his encouragement, and the way he fought on my behalf. If you’re a veteran looking for someone who will go the extra mile and treat your case with the seriousness it deserves, I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob Frys and the team at Berry Law!

Hired Attorney Jason Richard Thomas

Absolutely exceptional lawyer. My father was denied by the VA multiple times for multiple cases over his health. My father was exposed by Agent Orange while serving in the military and has multiple health issues. The VA denied him for health issues and kept him on partial disability just for his knee of all things. So, after denials, we reached out to Mr. Jason Thomas through Berry Law, and Mr. Thomas turned denials into wins. A 40% disability rating to 100%+, with some back pay as a lump sum payment. We went from one or two cases to multiple cases, ensuring my father gets everything he deserves. Without Mr. Jason Thomas, there would be no success with the VA. We cannot thank him enough.

Hired Law Firm

As a 20-year Air Force veteran, I retired with a 60% disability rating that didn’t fully reflect the conditions I endured from my service. Feeling frustrated and unfairly denied, my wife and I researched top law firms and chose Berry Law for their stellar reputation. From my first interaction with Corrina Bartels, I knew I was in capable hands. Corrina’s professionalism, compassion, and expertise turned a daunting appeals process into a clear, manageable journey. She provided step-by-step guidance, ensuring I understood exactly what documentation and medical evaluations were needed. Her proactive approach and attention to detail were remarkable. In just over a year, thanks to Corrina’s relentless advocacy, the VA awarded me a 100% disability rating—a life-changing victory for me and my family. Corrina didn’t just handle my case; she gave me hope and delivered results beyond my expectations. If you’re a veteran seeking justice for your disability claim, don’t wait—reach out to Corrina!

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.
