Hired Law Firm

Berry Law is AMAZING! Mr. Seth & Ms. Missy are absolutely incredible to work with. I was told about them by another veteran where I live in Arkansas. He said that they were the best in the business , and he could not have been more correct. I was at 80%, and a VA doctor diagnosed me with PTSD, however, the VA would not service connect me for it. After much taxing & difficult work, the VA finally service connected me for PTSD. I went from 80% up to 90% after that. I am beyond pleased with the results that I have gotten thus far, and Mr. Seth continues to work with me in order to service connect other issues that have arose.

Josh and his team were great to work with and made the process smooth. They clearly communicated with me in a way that I could understand and kept me updated along the way. Josh made what felt like an overwhelming process very easy for me. Much appreciated!

Hired Attorney Evan Daniel Stein

Evan represented me in a personal injury claim, resulting from an auto accident I was involved in last year. The at-fault driver’s insurance company was steadfast in attempts to deny liability and complicate the proceedings; to no avail! Evan was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and ultimately successful in his efforts. My numerous professional endeavors at times made my response times to requested information less than desirable I’m sure however, Evan was extraordinarily patient with me and always made himself available to my communications prompty. I hope no one finds themself injured by similar means but should that be the case- you want Evan to represent yours. Thank you!

Hired Attorney Stephanie Costello

It was a great experience working with Miss Stephanie Costello. After talking to other attorneys I decided to retain Miss Costello and The Berry Law firm , she was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate which is why I chose her. Without her I would never have been able to get my 100% service connected rating. I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney.

Hired Law Firm

I contacted Berry Law Firm because a colleague said they may be able to assist me with my difficulties in filing a VA claim. Even though I am located in Ohio they were able to help me via email and telephone. They treated my case as if it were their own, they understand a veteran's position because some of them are also veterans and know the troubles we can sometimes have with the red tape involved in the filing process. My case was a favorable decision and has lifted a large weight off my shoulders. Special thanks to Matthew Bartling and Rosario Torres because they were assigned to my case. I would highly recommend this team to any Veterans that may be seeking assistance with claim through the VA.

Ms. Robb has made this whole process so easy. I am more than satisfied. She set expectations, was in constant communication, and made it easy for me to get what I want. She educated me on how every part of the process works. I am defenitely making Vets aware.

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.
