Berry Law is the second chance every veteran deserves when navigating a service-connected appeal. Their expertise, clear communication, and genuine commitment to veterans was evident from my first interaction. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend their services.

I never considered filing a VA disability claim. Only severely wounded Veterans seemed to qualify. But a retired officer urged me to contact David Ossian at Berry Law. I didn’t think I had a case, but David and his team proved otherwise. They acted fast, guided me through every step, and submitted over 20 issues from my records—many I hadn’t realized were eligible. My rating rose from 10% in 2010 to 100% in 2025. Their expertise made the process smooth and stress-free. Fees were fair—just one-third of any back pay. I now receive monthly compensation, bringing financial stability and peace of mind. I strongly urge any Veteran to speak with David Ossian. His team understands military service, connects it to qualifying conditions, and ensures no detail is missed. That one call could change your life.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding representation I received from Berry Law Firm. From start to finish, the entire process was handled with the utmost care and professionalism, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. A special thank you goes out to Katie Domzalski. Her assistance was invaluable. Katie was professional, highly knowledgeable, and extremely prompt during the entire process. She consistently went above and beyond to answer my questions thoroughly, ensuring I understood every step and felt comfortable with the proceedings. Her dedication made a significant difference in my va claim experience.

I just wanted to thank Berry Law, specifically Matt Bartling, for his help with my VA disability claims.  I had multiple claims that kept getting returned as "not service related" even though many procedures and doctor appointments occurred while on active duty on/in a military hospital.  When I first started working with Matt, I had a disability rating of 30%.  I am happy to report, as of last week, I am 100%!!  His patience and commitment to his customers is second to none.  We had a lot of back and forth with the VA, but as Matt stated, it's a marathon, not a sprint.  Thank you, thank you for your help!  I would highly suggest Berry Law and Matt Bartling to ANYONE filing for VA disability.

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.
