Greatly satisfied with David’s determination on my case with the VA. He really showed me that I can really trust Berry Law and that I was in good hands.

My husband and I have been working with Berry Law Firm since the early 2000's and have received numerous awards because of their advocacy. We never could have navigated the process without them. We were referred to them by some Vet friends when we would attend the Viet Nam Vets Reunion in NE each year and are so glad they did. My husband had many issues including PTSD. Sadly, my husband passed away in 2020 from an uncommon cancer that may have been related to Agent Orange. My claim with the VA is still ongoing for this. My current attorney is Miss Montana and she is wonderful. One of the main things I can tout about this practice is that I can pose questions or issues and I ALWAYS hear back from them within 24 hours if not before. Awesome customer service!! Don't try to navigate the VA system alone, let BERRY LAW FIRM help and it doesn't cost you a dime unless you are granted an award and then, only a small percentage. I love them!!

Berry Law Firm was successful at getting the VA to recognize my bladder cancer was tied to Agent Orange. This is significant in that my claim was denied many times. Thank you Berry Law!

David Ossian is second-to-none in the VA law space. I spent years trying to get service-connection for combat-related wounds to no avail. David not only displayed superior knowledge of the VA process, he was able to communicate that knowledge effectively and win my appeal in an expedient fashion. His experience as a veteran certainly enhanced the experience in my view. I felt like I was walking through the process with someone who had first-hand knowledge of my experiences (almost like a "battle buddy") and that definitely strengthened my belief that I had the right advocate fighting for me.

Working with Berry Law Firm have been simple and to the point. They listened and helped me fight for my benefits. Always available for questions and to explain how to navigate the process. Highly recommend them. They are compassionate, friendly and there for the veterans and their families. Thanks you, for giving back! For standing up for me, when I couldn't stand on my own. Way to stay dedicated, motivated and patriotic. Semper Fi!

They were very thorough in gathering my information and documentation. They represented me in a professional manner and increased my VA ratings and benefits. I felt proud to be represented by them and give the Berry Law Firm my highest recommendation. They work for you, not for profit.

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.
