Working with David Ossian of Berry Law form was a great experience. He was on top of everything and answered any questions I had. He made the whole process so easy and I would Highly recommend anyone looking for help to visit with him.

As a veteran, I would use Berry Law Firm as the first "go to" for legal assistance in any matters relating to Veteran's benefits. Not taking away from the Veteran's Service Organizations, (they are good at what they do), I would evaluate Berry Law Firm as Excellent in what they do. I was shocked at the thoroughness and speed at bringing my case to a successful closure. Permanent 100% rating. The VA had taken many years of decisions, up to and including going way below the US Army threshold on original disability rating of 30%. VA kept moving goalposts. Special Thanks to Attny. Montana Crow for a job well done. I am extremely grateful.

Highly Recommend Berry Law. I tried to deal with the VA on my own and I ended up getting my current rating of 60% reduced to 40% and it took what seemed like forever. I was then told about Berry Law and I let them take over for me with dealing with the VA. Things changed almost immediately after I let them represent me. The VA was much quicker to set up eval appoints for me and before I knew it my rating was increased to 70% and then increased again to 90%. If I never contacted Berry Law to represent me I would have been at 40% or lower for the rest of my life. I highly recommend them to any veteran trying to fight for their benefits they rightfully deserve.

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

I have been a client of Berry Law since 2014. Every one of their attorneys that represented me to appeal to the Veteran Affairs System have always fought to obtain the veteran benefits that are due to me. Attorney Stephanie Jeanne Costello and her assistant Mary Hiatt, are exceptional professionals who really care to help veterans like me. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me.

I’ve been working with Berry’s Law Firm for a while now. I reached out to them to help me fight the VA to get the benefits I’ve earned granted to me. David Ossian was assigned to help me and I couldn’t be happier to have David’s help and expertise when it comes to fighting the VA. They have won a few claims for me and currently have one big one left to win. David has been great to work with and I highly recommend David and Berrys law Firm to anyone trying to get help with fighting the VA for the benefits you des

I received close consultation and a organized plan and within a year I had a 100% rating. Berry Law we’re flawless in keeping me in formed and the VA accountable. Stop waiting time and get the ratings you earned. Veterans helping veterans. Give them a call now! Brad Hub, Semper Fi

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.
