Sarah Newell's attention to detail, understanding of the legal complexities involved in my case, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the process. From my initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Sarah ensured that I was informed and updated on the progress of my case at all times. She guided me through every step with clarity and reassurance. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Sarah Nevell was fantastic! She took my case knowingly that it was not gonna be easy, she explained every detail of the case to me, the consequences of each charge and how we were going to work thru each one. Never felt left out if any conversation and she made every thing very clear in his and why things were. I felt privileged to have an attorney of her caliber representing me.

Berry did a great job. Their communication was routine and kept me informed along the way. A lot of them are vets themselves, so they understand the needs like others simply can't. Highly recommended.

Working with Berry Law Firm to handle my VA Claims. I was assigned Ms. Corrina as my case manager, I was kept informed of the process and was assured that they would fight for all that I had coming to me. Thank you Team Berry Law for helping to win my VA Higher Level Review. I will recommend this Law Firm to all my Veteran friends.

Jamie at Berry Law Firm saved my life! I suffered from PTSD and hearing loss from my time in the service for years and the VA kept denying me the care and compensation I needed. With Jamie’s compassion and determination she won my case and I received a very favorable rating. I now could get the help I needed including therapy which has turned my life around. My family loves the new me! Thank you again!

Sarah Newell is the one to request if she’s available, she represents Berray Law as it represents itself publicly. Sarah absolutely proved her capabilities the day I met her in court, she’s intelligent, knowledgeable and fearless when it comes to upholding the law. I was being charged with illegally carrying a concealed weapon (felony) with a year in prison but fortunately for Nebraska, Sarah had those charges dropped after kindly educated a few judicial members. I was fortunate to experience an internal issue come up within Berry Law months into my case in which they solved immediately and expertly which increased my confidence in them-they’re tenacious with client services/outcome & communication. I was so relieved to be able to return to being of service to my loved ones and the veterans returning back from Iraq. I highly recommend only choosing this firm whether you’re a veteran or not, your time is worth more.

Hired Attorney Carey Collingham

When I got into my accident Carey made things simple, easy, and quick. He was very knowledgeable and made things very clear. I had every question clearly answered. He took out all the stress from my situation and you can tell he truly care about his work! Hopefully I will never be in a situation like this again, but if I am, I will be returning to Berry Law and Carey.

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.
