I was referred to Berry Law from a long time friend who was currently working with them for his own VA claim. He explained he knew of at least 10 of his co workers who had had positive outcomes and great reviews from them. I went to the web site, filled out the requested information, and received my first contact from Deb H. within minutes. Berry Law and Deb H. have been in contact with me ever since the process started. When I had a question, I was always able to speak with someone and receive helpful information. I highly recommend Berry Law and if you’re so lucky to have Deb H. as a contact, you cannot go wrong. Cheers, Cory S.
I had the pleasure of working with Carey C. He is one hell of a lawyer . I didn't know what to do or where to turn to when it came to a personal injury accident because I've never been in a situation that I had to take into legal matters... and he supported me through it all. He explained the process from beginning to end, and everything worked out smoothly . IT WAS WONDERFUL WORKING WITH HIM !! If you need a lawyer for a car accident , he's the man to go to!! LOVE YOU CAREY
Working with Evin Stein was a great experience. I needed someone who was easy to work with given my busy retirement schedule and his/her busy work schedule. Evin was flexible and coordinated meeting times. We communicated via email and phone, and he connected my husband and son into phone calls as I requested. Evin built trust with us, and we valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall, we were very happy with the hiring and would gladly hire him again.
I worked with Berry Law on my VA appeal and they delivered excellent results, securing a 100% disability rating within a year. Katie Domzalski provided strategic guidance, timely updates, and compassionate advocacy throughout the process. I strongly recommend Berry Law to veterans seeking effective legal representation.
Rachel was so great to work with! She made everything easy for me and really focuses on what’s best for the client. I would 100% recommend working with her! Thank you so much again, for everything, Rachel!

The VA makes everything overly complicated and virtually impossible to navigate on your own—claims drag on for years with endless denials and red tape. I was completely denied until I contacted Berry Law. From day one, their team was professional, responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about the VA system. They handled everything with expertise and fought hard on my behalf. In just 6 months, they turned my total denial into a 90% rating—a life-changing victory I never could have achieved alone. Berry Law didn’t just file paperwork; they truly advocated for me like family. If you're a veteran struggling with VA benefits, don’t waste years trying to do it yourself. Reach out to Berry Law immediately. They are absolute warriors for veterans. Highly, highly recommended—5 stars aren’t enough! Thank you, Berry Law!
Carey was so friendly, empathetic and knowledgeable. It was such a relief to have his guidance and help through this process. He handled everything and kept me informed and up to date. His advice was invaluable.
Berry Law Firm, particularly Taylor Wikum, provided outstanding service to me and guided me through the VA claims process over the last several years. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and for the great customer service I received.

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.
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.
