Hired Law Firm

After years of receiving denials from the VA a friend of mine referred me to Berry Law Firm. Sarah Hardy of Berry Law Firm was assigned to my case and exceeded all expectations. I use to be a skeptic when I heard fellow Soldiers and Veterans speak negatively about the VA until I experienced it myself. For the first time in this process I finally felt like I was getting the assistance, guidance, and support that all veterans deserve. Shortly after depending on Sarah and the rest of the Berry Law Firm I finally received a VA rating. They continued to fight for me even after receiving the rating throughout the entire appeals process until I finally received a VA compensation/rating that exceeded my expectations. I have referred multiple Veterans and friends to Sarah Hardy and the Berry Law Firm throughout the years and each one of them are beyond grateful and all have received outstanding service. My family and I will never be able to repay you for everything, thank you again!

Sean Shepherd and Morgan Hanson have been phenomenal. They assisted with my appeals and opened new ones that increased my disability rating from 80% to 100%. Their hard work and dedication to assisting veterans is unmatched. I greatly appreciate their hard work and I will highly recommend this firm to all of my veteran friends.

I was a Navy Engineman in the early 80’s. I filed a claim with the help of a VSO only to be denied by the VA. My VSO did not know what to do next. I found Berry Law on the internet, and they agreed to take the case. Seth examined the original denied claim. Seth and his team found what was missing from the claim and what was done incorrectly by the VA. They filed the appeal. Seven months later Seth and Angela with Berry Law were able to get me 50% service connected. Very satisfied with the results! Thank you Berry Law.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

My experience with Berry Law Firm, specifically Montana Crow, has been nothing short of amazing! She has worked very hard for me and I am truly thankful. I began the process of applying for VA benefits after a conversation I had with a few other veterans. My belief, like many others, was that I didn't deserve any benefits because I felt I was unworthy. After 24 years, I submitted my first claim myself and found the process was extremely frustrating and stressful. Next, I went through my county's VSO. This person took advantage of my lack of knowledge about the process and only made the stressful situation worse. Then I met a veteran that referred me to Berry Law and I was introduced to Montana Crow. Her confidence, knowledge, and compassion helped lighten alot of the stress I felt. Her efforts helped me get from a 40% rating to a 50% rating, then to 80%, 90%, and finally to a 100% permanent and total rating! My family and I have truly been blessed! Thank you Montana!

I was referred to Berry Law Firm (Matt Bartling) by my daughter’s neighbor, who had success with his case. I have been waiting 9 years for a decision from the veterans appeal board for survivors benefits for my husband, who passed in January 2016. The Berry Law team was very efficient, kind, and helpful with all my questions. My case was recently decided with positive results. These benefits will be a huge help to me and my family. It never would have happened without the help of Berry Law.

Berry Law, a true Veterans Disability Law Firm, to say the least, they're great! Justin Reavis is my case manager and his team is excellent at helping veterans like myself, just this year alone, I was at 40% in May when I gave my case to them, and as of last month (November 2024) I'm now at 93% pushing for that hundred P and T. I'm on the way, this makes a huge difference in my family life. I have referred them numerous times and will continue to do so.

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.
