Working with Sean Shepherd has been a very rewarding and exceptional experience. It is without a doubt his genuine concern for me. and more importantly, his dedication to helping veterans. I appreciate how Sean deals with the VA and helps me with the daunting paperwork. This was definitely a team effort to get me my final rating at l00%. I would also like to thank Morgan Hanson who would always keep me in the loop on anything that came up with this process dealing with the VA. It takes a lot of dedication and knowledge from both individuals to get these results. Thank you

Hello my name is Haval! Back in January 2024 my wife Stephanie was walking to my car when she got hit by an Incoming vehicle that caused her to broke her Tibial bones in both knees and required surgery that caused her to be hospitalized for well over a month. i was scared and didn't know what to do and expect. i immediately searched lawyers that can help with such situation we were in. I found Berry Law and contacted Rachael who i tell our story and she explained the whole processing of a personally injury claim. stephanie and I both stayed in contact with Rachael over the last 10-11 months. There was a lot of back forward between Rachael and the other insurance company That was so much frustration. Persistently we never gave up and Rachael worked so hard to get what we deserve. After all of the pain and suffering we through we were finally able to get a settlement that my wife and I were happy with. Rachael is the best and will do whatever it takes to make sure you are taken care of!

I can't express enough how grateful I am for the assistance I received from Berry Law. After struggling on my own for 17 years and only achieving a 70% disability rating from the VA, I was feeling defeated. However, once I connected with Berry Law, everything changed. Their team guided me through the process, providing the expertise and support I desperately needed. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to achieve a 100% disability rating—a goal I thought was out of reach. I truly feel blessed to have found Berry Law, and I am thrilled to finally receive what I deserve. I’ve been sharing my positive experience with fellow Veterans who are also seeking to secure their rightful benefits. If you're in need of help navigating the VA system, I highly recommend Berry Law. They make a real difference!

Hired Attorney Evan Daniel Stein

Personal injury you never thought could happen to you... My life changed on May 11, 2024 being attacked by a dog to my face. Hiring a lawyer can be scary, when you have never had to hire one before. Evan, you are beyond professional, kind and beyond knowledgeable. Fought my for justice and in words I can't describe. His communication is out of this world. I thought i was quick to respond but he was even faster. I wouldn't be at where I am now if it wasn't for Evan. This case could have took longer but his dedication and determination, case closed. The parties he to whom he had to work with... Evan was the best decision I could have ever made. I am beyond lucky to have had Evan. Evan will be referred to anyone that has a personal injury. Anyone would be lucky to have Evan as their lawyer. Keep shining Evan, you're going to do big things!!!!! I truly never doubted you once. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A.J. Delong and his assistant Ulysses Larous of Berry Law performed a professional representation and personal relief for me and my family. I highly recommend this team. Both A.J and his assistant kept me advised throughout this lengthy process and when required, responded positively to all denials the Veterans Administration had regard my claim. The claim was eventually approved and honored.

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.
