Montana Crow is my Attorney.. If you have ever tried to file the correct forms required by the Veterans Administration you know what a challenge that is.. Very knowledgeable of my VA disability claim Kept me up to date on progress. Very understanding of veterans medical conditions.. A appeal was required for a claim, attorney Crow handled all the appropriate forms and filed the appeal in a very timely manner. I was kept in the communication process, If you need a attorney.. Call Berry law.. Thank you Tom Paine

Hired Attorney David Edwin Hoeser

Working with this lawyer was a great experience. We needed someone who was easy to work with. This lawyer made the process extremely easy by being flexible with coordinating phone call to assist me with my VA claim. We wer also able to communicate via text and email. The attorney built trust with m and I valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall i was very happy with the hiring and would gladly hire again. A person with trust issues because of my past he made me feel important so it was easier to trust him with my claim. I'm glad I chose this law firm they made m feel like just because my military service is over that My health an welfare as a veteran is still Important.

Sean Shepherd is my veteran advocate and he has been outstanding. He always keeps me advised and explains the VA process thoroughly. He has never been surprised by anything from the VA and knows exactly how to respond. Lastly, Sean never gives up and is always ready to fight for me and I have the utmost confidence in him and his abilities. I’m very appreciative of his diligence and hard work.

Working with David has been a stress free experience. He has kept me updated on my cases. Anytime I have had questions he has been able to quickly answer or get the answers. I have recommended him and Berry law to several vets over the last year and I hope they have contacted you. I owe your firm and David a big thanks for everything you have done for me. Keep up the great work.

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

I chose the Berry Law firm because they specialize in Veteran cases, and most that work there are veterans themselves. I just got lucky to have Stephanie Costello as my attorney. Her assistant Jennifer Garrison was also very good and responded to all of my questions immediately! One thing I can say about Stephanie Costello is she never gave up on my disability claim and pursued it until we won! Thanks again to the Berry Law Team for all of your assistance! Maureen A.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

I have worked with Miss Montana now for over 2 years and she has every bit of the attributes as listed above and more! What I love most about working with her is her timely responsiveness to my correspondence and taking the time to explain the complexities of the VA process. It truly has been heaven working with her not to mention the several awards I have received which have changed my life as a senior citizen and widow of a Veteran. She is a Godsend!!

I can’t say enough good things about David Ossian and the crew he works with at Berry Law. They were very professional and guided we from start to finish on my Va claim appeals.

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.
