I had been denied for disability for headaches from the VA and a friend from the Guard suggested Berry Law Firm. Seth Chambers and Missy Sears were amazing to work with and in the end I was successful in my claim. They were knowledgeable and respectful of my privacy. I am more than satisfied with the work they did for me and would highly recommend them to others.

I reached out to Berry Law as a former Paratrooper that I served with had also hired them. His case like mine turned out to be 100%. When I arrived in Omaha Feb 2022 I was at 60% in less then 2 month s I was 70%. After a few exams and paper work I had to fill out I was rated 90%. I’ve been told the 10% was the hardest. Today I’ve had 6 surgeries only one not being service connected. I’m grateful for my Attorney Stephan Bennett and her Legal Assistant Melissa Lovrien. Also attorney Aimee Robeson we spent some time on the phone. They all worked hard and fast and communicated with me each step of this process. I’m grateful and appreciate your work. Thank you Berry Law for assisting me through this process. I’m extremely pleased with your Professionalism and caring staff. God Bless you all.

I am a 73-year-old Vietnam combat veteran who has tried many times to get my VA benefits using a VSO and self-filing. One day while sharing my frustration with a friend, he referred me to Berry Law Firm. I called Berry Law Firm and was assigned to Seth and Missy, whom I cannot praise enough. To my total satisfaction, they attained a 100% Permanent and Total rating for me in an amazingly minimum amount of time. Thank you, Seth, Missy, and Berry Law Firm.

Samantha M. Robb and her paralegal are kind and attentive. She is very driven and conscious when discussing personal past and present military medical details. Samantha investigated every document, statement, photo and paper-trail to find the evidence we needed. I am beyond grateful to Samantha and the Berry Law Firm – law and military experts. I will most definitely recommend your professional services! Thank you for all that you have done over the years and still continue to champion. Your loyalty and tireless diligence do not go unnoticed – forever grateful.

Berry law has a fantastic team of attorneys. I recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of help with their VA claims. I am a combat veteran and have been battling with the VA for years trying to get my benefits and was unsuccessful. I contacted Berry law, got in contact with attorney Thomas Kroh and his legal assistant Gabriella and they helped me get to 100% service connected. They were amazing and anytime I had any questions they were always available to speak with me and answer them. I cannot say enough about them, me and my family are so grateful.

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

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.
