Thank you for leaving me a review; if there's anything that I can help with in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out!
We had an amazing experience with Berry Law Firm, more specifically with Montana Crow! After many attempts on our own to get my husband's VA disability to what it should be, we decided we needed an attorney. A quick email to Berry Law and within 24 hours Montana was "on the case." We are now at the end of our battle, fighting for what my husband deserves and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Montana and her support staff were and are always available and quick to respond when you have any questions. I would recommend her 100 times over!
Thank you for sharing your experience working with me and my team; I appreciate you recommending me to other Veterans!

Having tried for 15 years to get a fair rating from the VA, Barry Law and David Ossian's Team were very helpful. They kept me informed, provided guidance, and handled my case as if it were their own. Sincerely grateful for the hard work they put in and their tenacious work ethic to get the results that benefits our veterans.

We appreciate you sharing your experience working with David and his team!
I am working with David Hoeser as my lawyer and it has been a great experience. After so many years of being out of the military, I was unsure how to approach my VA Disability benefits filing. Still, David and his team made it easy to file the claim and submit everything in a way that made sense. David and his team are very responsive and detailed in the way they explain the status of what is going on and what next step should be taken. I am pleased to work with David and the Berry Law Firm team.
Thank you for leaving a review for my team and me!

Patrick Smith is great to work with. He explained everything in detail and is quite knowledgeable when it comes to TBI related conditions. Speaking with Patrick is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the confusing VA disability process. At the end of it all, Patrick Smith got me 100% P&T and couldn't be happier. Thank You!

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.
