Working with Natalie Gipson and other staff members at the Berry Law firm has been an outstanding experience. She maintained regular communication with me at every step of the way. In addition, Natalie took time to address my questions and explained the VA process in a way that made sense. I highly recommend her to all veterans.

Hired Attorney Jason Richard Thomas

Working with Mr. Thomas was the best decision I made for my health and my future. He didn't just treat me like another case number; they actually listened to my story and understood the nuances of secondary conditions that the VA kept ignoring. The communication was top-tier. I never felt left in the dark, and they handled all the heavy lifting with the BVA. All I had to do is attend a couple of meetings with his group and they did everything else. Thanks to their expertise, I finally received the 100% P&T rating I deserved. If you're a veteran struggling with the system, do yourself a favor and call Mr. Thomas at Berry Law Firm.

I initially chose Berry Law to help with my disability claims because of all the positive reviews I saw online. I was skeptical at first, but Claire Kreiger and her team proved me wrong. The process was easy, Ms. Kreiger was supportive and kept us informed, and the outcome was better than my wife and I could have hoped after years of trying to navigate the VA system on our own. To others, I would say, don’t give up--give Berry Law a chance. We did, and it changed our lives.

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

I was recommended to Berry Law by a fellow veteran that used their service and was very happy. I contacted Berry Law and was treated with respect and concern. At this point I was receiving nothing from the VA and the VA stated they could not find my claim. I had to start the process all over again and this has been going on for years. My first claim I received a rating of 10%. I was so disappointed. A highly motivated and skilled attorney for Berry Law, Montana Crow started to represent me. She is fantastic, she has handled everything and after many claims and appeals in the last several years I went from 10% rating to 80% with a backpay award and 100% benefit. Without Montana Crow’s expertise and tireless dedication and work this would never have been possible. I would highly recommend Berry Law to any veteran and thank you Montana you changed my life.

Jennifer Collier, an attorney with Berry Law out of Nebraska, worked tirelessly to help me with my VA disability claim. I had been trying to navigate the complexities of the VA's disability claims process myself for over 2 years with no success. As soon as Jennifer was assigned to my case, she immediately reviewed my entire file that encompassed 35 years, devised a winning strategy, patiently explained her rationale to me, and then got to work writing the first supplemental claim. She submitted 3 separate supplemental claims on my behalf and was successful on the third attempt. I currently have 4 children in college and Jennifer's hard work, skill, legal knowledge and dedication is a game changer for them and myself. I was fortunate to have Jennifer assigned to my case and would recommend her and the Berry Law Firm to anyone that needs assistance in these matters.

Wow the process was fast, and they got me a very good rating from the VA. These guys really know how to work quick. A special thanks to Gabe for handling my claim and making it quick and easy. I was informed during the process so there were no surprises, I’ve never had a process go so smooth as this one. I highly recommend this firm for veterans looking for the disability rating they deserve!

Hired Attorney Rachel Nichole Collins

Rachel Collins was the attorney I needed during my workers’ compensation case—professional, relentless, and genuinely compassionate. From our first meeting, it was clear she wasn’t just there to check a box; she treated my situation with real care for my physical and mental wellbeing, and she showed the same concern for my family. Her approach mixed practical, hard-hitting advocacy with a personal touch that made a difficult process feel less overwhelming. She actively fought against the third-party claims that were being twisted or blown out of proportion by the insurer. When I say she “fought,” I mean she didn’t settle for easy, superficial arguments—she dug into the facts, challenged mischaracterizations, and kept us aligned with what the law and the reality of my case actually permitted. She pushed back on ideas and tactics that would have delayed or undermined my recovery, and she made sure every angle the insurer tried to pursue was thoroughly examined and appropriately counter

Evan handled my case efficiently and honestly with little to no work on my end. Cannot thank him enough, now I can close the chapter on that accident. I will gladly recommend him! The whole office made this an easy process.

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.
