Hired Attorney Evan Daniel Stein

He was easy to contact even on a Saturday. if a message was left for him, I was certain he would respond in a timely manner. I do not think any other firm could have done as well or better then Evan and his group. I will recommend this firm to my friends. Thanks Tim

Hired Attorney Montana Blu Crow

Montana Blu Crow is nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge, abilities, competence, compassion and understanding set her well above what I expected. She truly understands the veteran's frustration with the VA system and how hopeless it is to the veteran caught up in it. She sets a goal of obtaining the maximum benefit that the Veteran deserves and proceeds to achieve that. I sure feels good to have her on my side working for my benefit.

Without the help of Mr. Bartling and his team at Berry Law firm. I would've been stuck in the same place for years on my VA claims. They helped me get the rating I deserved and other than the paperwork, they took care of everything else! A great big thank you to Berry Law firm for fighting for a fellow veteran. I would definitely recommend them to any Veteran.

Hired Attorney David Edwin Hoeser

Thanks to a true professional with total commitment to getting a veteran their just due no matter how long it takes. He is not afraid of addressing your appeal to all levels of review for consideration and award obtainment. He and his team always kept me informed and even when I wanted to throw the towel in he demonstrated to me the fight hadn't stop and the battled continued. I am very pleased I went with and stayed the course with him and his very professional staff as now I have reached the 100% rating I knew I was due too but my efforts along couldn't get me here. I would highly recommend to anyone wants a true warrior to fight for them.

Kacey Petit and her legal assistant, Katie, were amazing throughout the entire process. Having never worked with a law firm before, I was anxious and not knowing what to expect. They made it as easy as possible for me in a caring and professional manner. I recommend them to any veteran looking for an advocate they can trust and that will fight for them.

Seth Chambers and his assistant Missy are fantastic. I was initially denied service connection for a skin condition and a knee condition so I ran a search and found Berry Law. While I had to do some legwork, Seth and Missy went above and beyond in crafting an appeal for both. A few months later I was service connected for my skin condition but at 0%. Seth reached out and contacted me to ask if I would like to appeal for a higher rating. I agreed and with new evidence he put together a thorough appeal and a few, short months later the VA upped that service connection from 0% to 30%. At the beginning of the process I was denied and by the end Seth and his assistant Missy not only got it service connected but all the way up to 30% just for that one claim (a condition that is very hard to get just a 10% rating for), adding to my overall disability rating. My knee remains in appeals but I am more than happy with the work they've done. I would highly recommend them to others, and I have!

Berry Law firm took all of my denied cases from the VA in 2018 and since 2018 my VA disability % moved from 50% to 90%. I am very satisfied with Attorney Stephanie Bennett and her Law Assistance Melissa Lovrien. If there are veterans out there looking for help, Berry Law Firm will not disappoint you.

I initiated my own VA claim in January 2019 after being unable to find any local assistance to guide me through the process. After years of receiving denials from the VA a friend of mine referred me to Berry Law Firm. Sarah Hardy of Berry Law Firm was assigned to my case and exceeded all expectations. I use to be a skeptic when I heard fellow Soldiers and Veterans speak negatively about the VA until I experienced it myself. At times I was willing to give up and forget about the claim all together, but Sarah did not and would not allow that to happen. Not only is she a fellow veteran who knows and understands the issues veterans face but she actually cares. For the first time in over 4 years I finally felt like I was getting the assistance, guidance, and support that all veterans deserve through this process. I finally received a VA compensation that exceeded my expectations and that is all thanks to Sarah and Berry Law Firm. My family and I will never be able to repay you!

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.
