Outstanding service and highly recommend Berry Law for all veterans to receive their earned VA ratings. Seth and Angela provided excellent communications and patience during this process. I was recommended to contact Berry Law in December of 2024. They submitted a supplemental claim for sleep apnea that was denied before and now the VA granted for 50% VA rating! Thank you again, Seth and Angela!

Before coming to Berry Law, I was completely lost when it came to navigating the VA System, I knew I had legitimate claims, but the process was overwhelming and confusing. I had tried working with other attorneys in the past, but unfortunately, they did little to nothing to help me move forward. Thankfully, I found Berry Law Firm—and that changed everything for me. From the moment I reached out, I felt like I was finally being heard and understood. Seth and Angela were the team that handled my case, and they were nothing short of exceptional. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly, they genuinely cared about my situation. They walked me through each step of the process, explained things in a way I could understand, and kept me informed the entire time.  Thanks to their hard work, I received many favorable favorable outcomes. I am extremely grateful to Berry Law and I am 100% satisfied with their service and dedication to veterans.

Seth and his team did a fantastic job. They took my concerns and hit the ground running and god the job finished. They were always willing to hear my concerns and make corrections if needed. Seth provided helpful tips and advice to make this difficult and complex situation much easier than it would have been. Seth gave me the best insight on my specific situation and my options respectively without guiding my hand to make decisions for me. Thank you to everyone at Berry law firm!

Taylor Loy and her team at Berry Law Group were top-notch. They were easy to work with, efficient and professional. I was very impressed with their communication skills and overall work product. The team pays close attention to detail and it's clear by the way they go about their business and the results they achieve that they know what they're doing. I would highly recommend Taylor and Berry Law Group to any fellow veteran that needs assistance.

I would like to thank Sean Shepard, The Berry Law Firm and their staff for their help in resolving my VA claim. I have worked on my AO issue for several years and was finally resolved with their help. I was always kept informed of their progress and received several reassuring phone calls. I could not ask for a better representation than Barry Law Firm. I came to Berry Law as a result of what I considered non-interest in helping me by my local VA. This claim process started out fine with my agent, Jean, however, Covid came along and I had to work with Janesville. After Covid my local VA office was staffed with all new agents and I felt they did not want to help. I then went to Janesville and It was my opinion that the staff their felt my claim was a waste of time. After several setbacks I sought outside help and contacted another law firm. I was told, by this law firm, that my claim probably would not be considered by the VA. I then did some research and I chose Berry Law.

Hired Attorney Carey Collingham

Honestly, what can’t I not say about them. I have got so much support from them from the very beginning to the end. The 2 years I’ve been going through my car accident with Carey Collingham, Anna, and Fran, it was a very very long road but along the way you become family in a way. Because I had some struggles that happened with my mom and dad ending up in the hospital and me with my own struggles besides the accident. They respected that and never pushes or rushes me in anyway shape or form. They had patience with me just as much as I had patience with them and the process. There was so much kindness they had that you don’t see in a lot of people these days and the effort they put into someone to make sure they get what they deserve in the end. I could not have been any happier to have chose them, thank you for what you guys have done for me.

I don't know how to thank you Jason. You took me from 10% to 90% and did a great job with all my requests and understanding my condition. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you. I will recommend the law firm and you to anyone that needs help with their VA claims.

Navigating the VA system can be overwhelming and frustrating—but the team at Berry Law changed that experience for me entirely. With their guidance and support, I went from a 90% disability rating to a 100% Permanent and Total (P&T) rating. This outcome has had a life-changing impact. From the start, Berry Law treated me with respect, clarity, and a deep understanding of what veterans face. They knew the system inside and out and, more importantly, how to fight for what I had earned through my service. Barry and his team were responsive, compassionate, and relentless on my behalf. If you're a veteran struggling to make sense of the VA process, don't go it alone. Reach out to Berry Law. They helped me achieve the benefits I deserved and restored my peace of mind in the process. I'm deeply grateful and highly recommend them to every vet I meet.

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.
