About Jason Thomas

Prior to becoming a lawyer, Jason Thomas served as a cavalry scout (19D) in the United States Army. Since returning from Iraq 15 years ago, Jason has begun to fight for fellow service members who were denied VA compensation for illnesses related to burn pits, injuries from IEDs, and mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression. The struggle they endured inspired Jason to work in Veteran’s advocacy, helping veterans appeal denied disability claims.

“In an ideal world, this type of work wouldn’t be necessary. I see it as a service to Veterans for what they’ve done and gone through.”

Jason takes Veteran’s advocacy law personally after his own father developed service-related cancer from Agent Orange following military operations in Vietnam. Jason assisted his father in writing the letter that secured his benefits. His father passed away in 2023 from Agent Orange-related causes.

“I founded J Thomas Law to help people like my battle buddies and like my own father.”

Jason reached the rank of sergeant in the army. He earned the Army Commendation Medal for his meritorious service in Iraq. During law school, Jason received the CALI Award for Excellence, in the area of Negotiation an honor bestowed on the highest scoring law student in his or her class.

Jason earned his Juris Doctor from Creighton University School of Law, where he was a member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. Jason strongly believes in civic engagement and nonprofit work and has worked with nonprofit organizations such as Amplify Arts, ætherplough, and the Red Cross.

Mr. Thomas listens with a keen ear and attention to detail. His involvement was key to my favorable outcome. I was to the point where I considered giving up the fight. Mr. Thomas was able to clearly and concisely explain his approach to the problem and convinced me that this was indeed a fight worth continuing. I highly recommend.

Got referred to Barry Law by a Co-worker, veteran. Initial contact was pretty quick and informative. I was provided an expected timeline for my process. I was informed throughout the process. If I had questions and left a message, I received a call typically the same day. Very professional and thorough. Thank you Jason, Barry, and Barry Law

I wholeheartedly urge my fellow veterans to Call Jason Thomas and Berry Law for assistance with your VA claims! You won’t be sorry. My long experience dealing with the VA has taught me several lessons: we need expert help winning everything we deserve from VA; and there is no doubt Jason Thomas and his team at Berry Law Firm are your best help in that fray. I first heard of the Berry Firm after I had already received “help” from two different supposed solid veteran advocates, and the quagmire they left me in left me feeling ready to give up. My last hope was a referral to Berry Law, and what a difference the right attorney makes! Jason Thomas’ hard work has won me benefits, increases and we're still working! He is a great communicator, responds and explains, exactly what we need navigating this confusing, daunting VA system. You earned your benefits sacrificing your health in service to your country - call Jason for help!

If you want a US veteran-focused law firm contact Jason Thomas at Barry Law. Not only did Jason agree to represent me on a previously denied claim, after review of my case he recommended that I file for things Veteran Affairs overlooked. While I haven’t heard the outcome of the original claim yet, I’ve already received a substantial bump in my disability rating due to the other things. Trust Jason with your case and you won’t be left behind!

I have been working with Jason and his assistant Jamie for roughly 4 months and I could not be more impressed. Jason and his colleagues at Berry Law Firm have delivered results and made my VA appeals process MUCH less stressful. I would highly recommend Berry Law Firm to any Veteran seeking legal guidance on their VA process. In the short time I have been working with them, they have already increased my VA Compensation rating by 10%.

Jason was great. He explained the process in detail. He handled all the VA paperwork. He was responsive if I had questions and updated me regularly throughout the process. I cannot recommend him more.

Before I had talked to Jason Thomas, I had all but given up on pursuing my claim that had been rejected twice by the VA. Jason spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me answering questions and convincing me that with a different approach, my case was very winnable! I have the utmost respect for and trust for Jason and highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

I can't thank you enough. Just for treating me like a person and not a paycheck. Thank you for taking the time and explaining a big system that is so confusing. I will always recommend you to other people.
