John Berry is an excellent attorney and a go-to for any criminal matter or veteran's issue. He saves the lives of his clients everyday. When he represented me, we could not have gotten a better outcome. Full exoneration on all counts.

I was falsely accused of sexual assault in Lincoln, Nebraska by a woman. I gave a statement to a police officer in which I said things which made me look guilty. Not only that, the police also dug their record to find out that another woman had also made allegation of sexual assault about me in the same jurisdiction, which was also a false allegation, but it made my case look indefensible.
I knew I was innocent but I was hopeless. But in a "die trying" mood I started contacting the best possible

I am a Army veteran and I put in my claim for a disability on my own 2 years ago. My initial claim was denied. I heard about Berry Law from a fellow Military Veteran. I contacted them and they immediately began helping me with appealing my claim. Allison Schwach from Berry Law was very determined to assist with my appeal of my previously denied disability claim. Allison Schwach kept me updated every step of the way, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Allison Schwach of Berry Law worked diligently fighting for my claim. Her hard work resulted in my appeal being approved and me getting an increase in my disability from 10% to 30%. I am very pleased with this outcome and I will definitely reach out to them in the future. I recommend Berry Law to anyone who needs help.

This was the scariest yet most rewarding decision I ever made. Thank you Mr. Thomas and the entire staff of Patriots helping those of us who served and just didn't know the system well enough to present a; what was suppose to be a no brainer to 14 years of ring around the rosies. If you are thinking about hiring an attorney? You are in the right place. I just can't thank them enough for bringing me from 10 to 100 percent and the time was well managed. This is the firm you want representing you. Don't wait, its life changing!!

I was denied my claim by the Veterans Administration. I called other law firms, and they were unwilling to take on my case. I found Berry Law on an internet search, and I was impressed with their history. I was relieved when they took my case. Sean Shephard helped me. He pursued my case persistently over several years until it was finally concluded. He never gave up on me. My life has been changed in three positive ways. First, my income has increased, which helps a lot. Second, there are other benefits such as health care at the VA, which is excellent. Finally and most importantly, getting the VA to admit to my disability and give me the rating according to the VA’s own rules. Thank you, Berry Law and Sean Shephard, for all your hard work.

I contacted Berry Law after my VA claim was denied even with sufficient evidence and documentation. I was referred to David Hoeser by a friend. David was phenomenal to work with and got me approved. During the whole process someone with Berry Law was always in contact with me and assured I never had any questions. Phenomenal service with 100% results.

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.
