If you’re a veteran struggling with the VA claims process, do yourself a favor and get in touch with Corrina Bartels. When I first submitted my claims on my own, the VA denied everything. I was frustrated, stuck, and didn’t know what to do next. Then I found Corrina, and everything changed. Her knowledge, experience, and dedication have been an absolute game changer. Not only did she help me get my claims submitted properly, but she’s also been by my side through the appeals process, making sure my ratings are adjusted to the levels they should be. She knows the system inside and out, fights for what’s right, and genuinely cares about the veterans she helps. I can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone in your corner, Corrina is the one you want!

After being diagnosed with kidney cancer, a family member told me I should look into filing for disability through the VA. A friend of hers referred me to Berry Law. I've never dealt with the VA before but from my time in the service I figured this would be a long, slow, and painful process. After filling out the initial claims on 9/25/2024 I was contacted about a week later by Debra Hansel for additional information. She was my case worker and contact at Berry Law. They dealt with the VA completely. The only thing I had to do, other than the initial claim, was go for an exam. I'm pleasantly shocked that it took only 6 months for a determination to be made. I highly recommend contacting Berry Law for any VA benefit needs. Thank you so much!

Outstanding Advocacy for Veterans – A Grateful Veteran’s Thanks Berry Law Firm truly changed my life. As a fellow veteran, I was drawn to Mr. John Berry’s background and the firm’s understanding of the deep physical and emotional toll military service can take. This wasn’t about money—it was about standing up for what years of service cost me. Thanks to their hard work, I received a 100% VA disability rating. Special thanks to my attorney, Mr. Sean Shepherd, and his assistant, Ms. Morgan Hansen, for treating my case with care and integrity. I highly recommend Berry Law Firm. – Floen

I can't say enough good things about Berry Law, especially my incredible case manager, Katie Domzalski! After years of fighting the VA and hitting roadblock after roadblock, I finally found a team that truly had my back—and Katie was at the heart of it all. From day one, Katie was absolutely phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and relentless in pushing my case forward. She kept me updated every step of the way, answered all my questions with patience, and always made me feel like a priority. Her dedication and attention to detail made what seemed like an impossible fight finally come to an end—with a well-earned victory! Thanks to Katie and the entire Berry Law team, I finally received the service connection I had been struggling for. This outcome has been life-changing, and I can’t express enough gratitude for their hard work and commitment to veterans like me.

I am a Viet Nam veteran who has been fighting the VA for several years due to my multiple health issues stemming from my time in service to our country. The VA's chronic denial of benefits led me to Berry Law in Lincoln, Nebraska. After searching the internet for legal representation to help me in my fight, I chose Berry Law. I chose them because a good portion of their employees are veterans themselves, some disabled. They have "been there and done that" and I felt they could certainly understand what I was going through. Everyone with whom I dealt at Berry Law has been nothing but professional, courteous, accommodating and personable, especially my case manager, Matt Bartling. It was a long road from beginning to end but Berry Law got me the 100% disability I deserved. They said they would and they delivered! Words can't express the vindication I felt when Berry Law won my case and how much I really appreciated them. I highly recommend them.

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.
