My name is AJ. Berry Law, sent me a welcome letter dated September 9, 2024. On September 25, 2025. I received my 100 percent P&T. This was a great experience. Corrina Bartels, Case Manager was the lead in my claim. She was assisted by Marquetta Rupert, Legal Assistant and Olivia Nelson, Legal Assistant 1. I have never dealt with a more friendly or professional team of staff! I refer them to everyone I meet. Thank you Berry Law!

Working with David Ossian and Tuesday Metcalf-Holts was a real pleasure and they helped win my case and appeals. It was a complex case with toxic exposure which serving in the Air Force in the late 80s to early 90s. We are now on appeal for back pay and I am again pleased at the progress as my condition has no treatment and no cure, so time is of the essence.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel was amazing at handling my personal injury/uninsured motorist case. She was very responsive with communication. She was kind and compassionate, and she was good at explaining the process and helping me understand things when I was confused. I could not have asked for a better experience with her.

Berry law did a great job helping me increase my VA disability from 10 to 60%. I would highly recommend them, Taylor Loy and McKenna Sender were great to work with. I would highly recommend reaching out to Berry Law if you are seeking to obtain or increase your disability.

Hired Attorney Jason Richard Thomas

Jason took on my VA Claims case several years ago now and he has never missed a beat. If I ever have any questions or concerns about things he is prompt and efficient. He show cases a manner of caring, compassion, and professionalism that I seldom see. He has taken it upon himself, with the help of his team, to support my VA process and get the fair rating I have now. When we first began working together he told me that his job was to carry the weight and worry, to take it off my shoulders. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he has excelled at that promise. The resilience needed for long VA claims is immense and he's been by my side/leading the whole way. I'd recommend working with Jason and his team; especially if you're at your wits-end and ready to give up.

Berry Law, David Hoeser did a great job representing my VA claim without him and his team I would not have completed my full claim. He explained current law, did detailed review of my medical file, and explained common sense next steps, Thank You!

I am very pleased with the services provided by Berry Law Firm. They took what seemed like a very daunting task and had it completed in way less time than I thought would be possible. So far, I have referred 2 other veterans to their office. I wish I had come across their firm years ago. I will forever be greatful.

The Veteran's Affairs agency is very large and has complex rules and regulations. This complexity is compounded by events like Agent Orange, Camp Lejeune , burn pits of the gulf area. Toxins, both invisible , airborne and waterborne. The IED’s of Afghanistan with concussions that always remain and maim. To bring all these tragedy’s forward into the light and establish truth and Justice is what Berry Law is all about. A special thanks to Manager Corrina for keeping me focused and steady. Paul A. Dietsch, Sgt.,U.S.Marine Corps. Vietnam Veteran.

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel agarró mi caso fue demasiado profesional , muy amable muy atenta , no me cobró un solo dólar hasta que el caso se ganó lo cual fue increíble por qué a veces uno no agarra abogados por no tener el dinero para poder pagarlos ! Me resolvió mi caso increíblemente rápido en tan solo 4 meses!! , cuando he visto en otras partes que puede tardar hasta años !!! Me consiguió un buen reembolso con el seguro y aún así siguió peleando hasta conseguir el reembolso máximo tota ya teniendo una buena oferta ! Otra de las cosas increíble fue que todo fue electrónicamente desde la comodidad de un teléfono increíble!!! Súper honesta ,confiable y muy profesional! No estoy exagerando cuando digo QUE ES LA PERSONA QUE MÁS ME HA AYUDADO EN ESTE PAÍS ( soy migrante ) y no me alcanzan las estrellas del cielo para ponérselas en esta reseña !!! Que dios te bendiga Rachel ! -Eudo Martínez

Hired Attorney Samantha Robb

How many characters is this? Samantha Robb was outstanding in handling my VA case. I had been rated at only 10% since 2009, and when Berry Law took my case in 2022, Samantha guided me through every step with professionalism, clear communication, and relentless dedication. Because of her work, I went from 10% to 100% permanent and total disability. Her responsiveness and attention to detail made a difficult process much easier to navigate. Samantha truly fought for me, and the result has been life-changing for me and my family. I highly recommend her to any veteran needing help with their VA claim.

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.
