Joshua Yambor was a pleasure to work with.He always listened,cared, professional,gave his best for my case. He's a very experienced attorney that made things very easy. We did almost everything over the phone,or by email,was great. Joshua is a humble person,and said his help did most of the work.I would recommend Joshua Yambor,and Berry Law to anyone.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and professionalism Attorney Jason Thomas of Berry Law provided me during my Veterans Affairs claims process. From the very first interaction, Mr. Thomas was not only professional but also deeply reassuring. He took the time to listen to my story, believed in the pain I was experiencing, and treated me with the respect and dignity that many veterans often feel is lacking in the claims process. Thanks to Mr. Thomas, I felt heard and understood, and he helped me navigate what would have otherwise been an overwhelming
We are grateful for Barry Law. Dealing with the VA while going through cancer surgeries and treatments was very difficult. Blessed to have Jason and Barry. I encourage anyone to contact Barry Law. Thank you so much.

I contacted Berry Law Firm because I reached a point with my VA disability claims where I was at a dead end. My claims and my appeals were getting denied, so I figured it was time to get help from some professionals. A friend of mine, who also happens to be a veteran, suggested Berry Law Firm. Since I’ve contacted them, they have won two appeals for me, in which I received a really good amount of retroactive pay! They’ve also got my percentage increased from 60% to 90%, and they are still fighting to get me to 100%! My case manager, Justin Reavis has been great and has really worked hard to help me. I live in Amarillo, TX, and even though they are in Lincoln, Nebraska, I have felt the distance has not been an issue at all. Contacting Berry Law Firm has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made in this journey to get my correct VA disability rating!
I am absolutely satisfied with Berry Law Firm representing me for my car accident! Joshua Yambor was amazing along with his staff!!! I would recommend him to any of my family members, friends and neighbors. He is one of the BEST lawyers that I have ever dealt with! Thank you for the Outstanding job in representing me!!! You are one in a million!!! Tere
I almost gave up on a claim the VA kept saying was not service connected. One of my brothers I served with said he had a stress free experience once he put Berry Law on it. Now I could say the same thing. Berry Law gave me a sense of peace once they took over. They were professional, informative, and I can tell they gave a damn!!! Thanks Berry Law!! Keep doing what you are doing there are some Veterans out here that need you!!!
Berry law was tenacious in handling my appeals with the VA, they never gave up ,especially Kelli Williams and Jerusha Hancock. Their compensation was extremely fair, I never felt that they were taking advantage of the situation. I would never have gotten a favorable settlement of my appeals without them.

One of the reasons I chose Berry Law Firm was I needed someone who could win my case. When I asked him if he thought he could win for me, he said he would not have taken the case if he could not win. He would have been wasting my time and his. I started at 50% after VA nickled and dime and an additional 220%. I received my 100% rating. Mr T.J. Kroh never gave up the entire time. He was the Lawyer I worked with. He answered all emails and communicated with me everytime I asked. He entered all my appeals with professionalism. To read how he wrote the appeals back to VA to let them know how incorrect they were with their decision, they came up with a stoke of geniuses. I never had to ask him to change anything. He knew exactly how to prepare my defense. So listen up if you tire of beating around the bush with others. You will not regret choosing Berry Law Firm for your representative. This is the reason why they win cases. They understand how to get you 100%.
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.
