The Berry Law team is exceptional. They helped me submit my VA claims and the process from start to finish went smoothly thanks to the team members assigned to my case. Lucas O., Rosario T., and David H. absolutely knocked it out of the park and I would recommend Berry Law to anyone who wants their VA claim process to go as well as mine.

I've long been an advocate of seeking the knowledge and assistance of experts, encouraging my troops to do that in all their endeavors...well this time it was my turn. I received a lot of advice from folks who retired before me about my VA claim and all it did was confuse me. I went through the state VA to file my initial claim which resulted in me scratching my head over why I received certain ratings. At the advice of a good friend (who I now owe a favor to!) I contacted the folks at the Berry Law Firm. Sean was assigned to my case, which he reviewed thoroughly and then we talked. He was interested in me and my individual circumstances and developed a plan that was specific to me. He ultimately helped me get the accurate ratings for my conditions which ensures I'll receive the care I've earned for the rest of my life. I'm grateful for their help and have been advising all of my vet friends to call Sean and the team at the Berry Law Firm.
I had trouble with getting things service connected even with the help of the DAV, the VA kept messing up paperwork, after many conversations a coworker referred me to Berry where we got everything properly connected! Thank you for the help and knowledge! I have referred many veterans to them and they continue to get them taken care of as well!
I will be recommending Berry Law Firm to all my veteran friends and to veterans I meet in the street. This firm is above and beyond knowledgeable, compassionate to my needs, on top of my case with calls and texts ask questions I wouldn’t think of. Dave Ossian is an outstanding representative, very understanding and easy to talk with . I also had a representative Kimberly O’Conner that was so attentive to my concerns, had all the answers. I absolutely love this firm and strongly recommend them, they won my case so fast, I’m so very Happy. Berry Law Firm is No 1 with me.
VERY PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND RESPONSIVE. SARAH HARDY AND KATHLEEN WARWICK HAVE BEEN THOROUGH, PATIENT AND EXPLAINED PROCESS/LAW CLEARLY. THEY HAVE EXHIBITED COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING. THE TIMELINESS IS DEFINITELY AN ASSET!!!!! THEIR HARD WORK ON MY BEHALF IS SO APPRECIATED.
I was a passenger in a vehicle that was t-boned by an SUV that chose to run a red light. Luckily I was the only one who was severely injured. I ended up needing surgery for my injuries, was out of work for 6 weeks, and needed several months of physical and occupational therapy to aide in my recovery . I hired Evan because I had zero knowledge on what to even do in this situation to help get my medical bills covered. From our first meeting Evan was an excellent listener when he learned the details of my case. During my recovery he has done an amazing job at not only asking how I’m feeling, but also providing me on where we are at in my case. He’s been very patient and knowledgeable when explaining how different things work, and has never made me feel dumb for asking. I would highly recommend Evan! 😊
After spending 3 years getting denied over and over, I contacted Berry Law. Not only was I contacted the same day, but my claims were immediately being worked on. Prior to contacting Berry Law, I went through the process with another law firm and a VSO, all routes I went through were unsuccessful. Jamie Bell started on my case and within 4 months, not only did I have a successful claim, but it succeeded more than I could have hoped for. Jamie went out of her way for my claim and it shows. Thank you.
I highly recommend Berry Law to everyone they did an outstanding job. They helped me get the benefits that I was previously denied. Stephanie Bennett my attorney and Melissa Lovrien/ Legal Assistant were amazing. They were caring, helpful, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions I had. I am so thankful I found Berry Law. Again Thank you from me and my family.
Working with Berry Law was definitely a great experience. They have won my case regarding VA compensation after a long ordeal. They are extremely knowledgeable, determined, great at explaining the law, and always very responsive.

Thanks to Berry Law, I received full VA benefits. I chose the Berry Law Firm because they had a reputation for providing outstanding legal representation and their commitment to veterans and their families. Berry Law stands out among the best law firms for veterans due to its well-qualified, experienced, and hardworking staff. I was particularly impressed with Attorney David Hoeser’s due diligence, attention to detail, and dedication to each individual claim filed. I strongly recommend Attorney David Hoeser and the Berry Law firm to anyone requiring immediate and exceptional VA disability legal representation. Berry Law Firm's expertise and experience helped me achieve favorable results.

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.
