Hired Law Firm

I worked with Sarah Hardy and can't say enough good things about her. I was impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and diligence working my claim. A little background about my past experience. For years I kept losing on my own. I had evidence in my STRs, Private IMOs, and treatment records to support my claim to no avail. It was difficult for my family to see my medical conditions and keep losing appeal after appeal. Finally, I got frustrated and did some research in the Veteran community for Attorney's/Lawyer's who could advocate for me and decided to work with Berry Law Firm to represent me due to their strong knowledge and background with helping Veteran's. Berry Law Firm, has a strong track record and a great reputation amongst the Veteran community not to mention their staff's mostly Veterans or family members. I was represented by Sarah, she got the job done with no hiccups. I am forever grateful to her and the Berry Law Team! Overall, great experience.

I'm a veteran in Lincoln Nebraska and had been having difficulties navigating the comp and pension system for my disability . I had heard that they help veterans like me so i gave them a call about 4 months ago in January of 23. I was put in contact with Krystal Klicko and from day 1 she was on it! She explained to me everything i needed to know, and took care of all of the logistics of my case. So much so, all i had to do was show up to my appointments , she did everything else ( which was a lot i imagine ), She also helped me understand each situation individually and talked to me when i was worrying about my case. Now thanks to Krystal Klicko with Berry Law, I have 100% compensation for my service and recognition of all the injuries and conditions i'd developed or incurred . For me, thats completely life changing and i will always be grateful for Krystal and Berry Law. In my case they even did it pro bono , which was just incredible . Especially for how much they helped me.

For years I battled the VA to attain 100% P&T and was on the brink of just giving up and calling it a loss, until I learned from a brother in arms about Berry Law. Mr Bartling and McCain took their time and asked all the questions they needed to assist me in the process. They went above and beyond to make sure the process was painless and in the end their knowledge and expertise got me the 100% P&T lifting the weight of my shoulders that I carried for years. I am greatful for what they did for me and will be recomending them to anyone that asks me who can help them with the process whether its initial claim or increase.

I submitted a claim for some health issues that developed while serving in the Marines. The claim was promptly denied. A friend recommended that I contact David Ossian at Berry Law, so I figured I would give it a try. David was very helpful and assembled a clear and concise claim based on our discussion. It was far superior to what I could ever assemble. The VA agreed and my claim was accepted. Awesome experience and Highly recommended.

Berry Law is your go-to attorney for VA claims and appeals. My husband and I were discouraged by multiple denial letters from the VA for his VA claims. He is a Gulf War veteran with symptoms of war related conditions that we thought would have no problem getting approved. When we received those denial letters, we were at a loss on how to proceed in the appeals process. We searched online for a good local VA claims & appeals attorney. Berry Law had great reviews and so we decided to give them a call. T.J. Kroh, our current attorney assigned to his appeals, and his assistant Gabriella have put in worked hard on many of my appeals through the VA claims system. They have been successful with getting higher ratings for my husband with several of his appealed claims. This team is thorough, very knowledgeable of the VA system, communicates well with their clients and never gives up on any of the claims & appeals that have been filed on behalf of the veteran.

Hired Attorney Jason Thomas

I have been working with Jason and his assistant Jamie for roughly 4 months and I could not be more impressed. Jason and his colleagues at Berry Law Firm have delivered results and made my VA appeals process MUCH less stressful. I would highly recommend Berry Law Firm to any Veteran seeking legal guidance on their VA process. In the short time I have been working with them, they have already increased my VA Compensation rating by 10%.

My name is Stephan and I had been trying for a few years on my own to get my VA benefits. Doing it on my own was very frustrating. I looked up online and found Berry Law firm. Matthew Bartling and McCain Vasa were there to talk whenever I had questions about my case. I made a great choice, they helped me get my 100% disability.

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.
