Mr. Hagen and his core team did a fantastic job of gathering information and detailed specifics to assist in the dismissal of my case! I will be forever grateful to him and the members of BERRY Law Firm. There were there with any of my questions, and were polite and kind. They also were able to provide me with a sense of well being, even with the anxiety I was facing due to the charges that were brought against me! Again, GREAT MAN to work with...Would recommend 10/10

Corrina Bartels, I cannot say thank you enough. You were so compassionate & kind in hearing my story. My story I had not shared with a sole for 30+ years. I never knew I was entitled to benefits. I began working with my local VSO two years ago. After a grueling process he got me to 60%.I procrastinated on my appeal because my trauma had taken over my life. It was a very difficult time realizing & accepting I could no longer fight for myself. In Sept 2022 I reached out to Corrina. She did not delay & went right work. She has always been easy to reach and quick to respond. She stays on top of everything & puts so much pride in her work. As with most vets applying for benefits my goal was to reach 100%. Two days ago (March 7th) my award was granted. Corrina's hard work & dedication paid off bigger than imagined. My award was 90%, IU, P&T AND SMC S. Corrina took me from 60% to now receiving max benefits. I would HIGHLY recommend Corrina Bartels to all vets applying for their benefits.

Berry Law firm is the absolute best. I love this firm because they have many veterans working for the firm and others who are associated with veterans in some way whether it be through kinship or friendship. Because of this they have first hand experiences and knowledge in knowing what veterans endure with fighting through the red tape of the VBA, BVA and the court of Veteran appeals process. Stephanie Bennett and Melissa Loverien fought with me side by side for over eight years to insure I received the benefits I deserved. I received TDIU and P&T. This will change the lives of me and my family forever. Thank you Stephanie, thank you Melissa, thank you Berry Law Firm.

"Seth Chambers, Missy Lovrien and the team at Berry Law, Lincoln, NE. earn a five-star rating from me. My successful application for VA benefits is a result of their knowledge and expertise. The VA application process is complex, laborious, and requires the skill Seth, Missy and the Berry Law team have. This firm is worthy of your consideration. My original contact and most subsequent interaction with them were online." Sam S. Army Veteran Converse,TX

Berry Law is fantastic. They handled everything in a professional manner and the communication is on point. The hardest part is waiting on those turds at the VA. 10 out of 10 would go back to war to get more ptsd and IBS to have Berry Law, especially Corrina Bartels, put in work on my behalf.

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

I recently reached back out to Attorney Costello after 2 years passed since she won my case, with a follow up question. Her assistant connected us and I had an answer before the end of the day. I really appreciate the time she took to answer me oppose to ignoring me as I am no longer an active client. This really meant so much and I hope this will help you decide to reach out to Attorney Costello for you representation of your or your loved ones case. I have a lot of faith in her.

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.
