Hired Law Firm

Trusting this law firm and my attorney, Stephani Bennett was the best decision I have made. They specialized in helping veterans get the benefits they deserved. They are brilliant and I won my case. My case was sensitive and difficult but I always felt comfortable and important as their client. I have been highly recommending them to any fellow veteran I meet needing help.

Hired Attorney Jason Thomas

To start with I am not being paid and I'm not a robot typing this. Working with attorney Jason Thomas has been a great experience he got my VA disability decision approved around 90 days after I tired unsuccessful for 4 years (unrealistic) I know but it's true. All you veterans out there don't waste time like I did contact this guy if you want fast VA disability benefits it takes a veteran with knowledge and that's him. I'll leave you with this he picked my brain and medical records and discovered more disability issues that I didn't file for years ago. Berry law firm has another good one on the team.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel went above and beyond in every aspect. She would listen to any concern I had dealing with my case. She was very informative though out the entire process. She would always give me my options and explain each thoroughly. It was always my choice not hers. She only thought about my best interest through the entire process. There were times I felt defeated, and she was definitely there to support me and kept me on the right track. If you want someone to always fight on your behalf and only want the best for you definetly go with Rachel. I have already recommended her several times and I will continue to do so.

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.
