I would like thank the Berry Law Firm, attorney Corrina Bartels and her legal team for the work they did on my behalf in obtaining a 100% Permanent and Total disability with the Veterans Administration. Berry Law Firm accepted my case in early September 2022 and in December 2022 the VA made their decision for a 100% total disability. After answering a few questions with attorney Corrina Bartels and filling out a few forms, her legal team were were both professional and efficient in their approach. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering legal help with their VA disability claims and appeals.
Thank you for sharing your experience working with Corrina and recommending her services to other Veterans!

The Berry Law team helped me navigate the overly complicated VA Disability claims process and I was awarded 100% P&T. They only get paid if you win your case. A definite win-win. Highly recommended! Thanks Corrina!

I highly recommend Berry Law! They were so helpful at navigating a very complex VA claim process, and I cannot say enough about their representation, customer service, and general care for veterans. I have made major progress with my claim with Berry Law leading the way. Look them up - you won't regret it! Corrina and Melissa are simply the best!
We appreciate your kind words about Corrina and Melissa; thanks for leaving such a great review and recommending their services to other Veterans.

I’ve dealt with lawyers for all types of things, but never for veteran disability. I can tell you right now, I’ve never really had a good experience with attorneys till now. My attorney is Corrina Bartels and she explained the process from the start and was 100% honest with me. I send an email with a question and she responds faster than any attorney I’ve ever dealt with. Now they have a new app that allows us to track the process and communicate even faster. I would recommend them to anybody I come across. Top notch firm.
Thank you for sharing your experience working with Corrina and her team; she really prides herself on her communication. Thank you for recommending her to other Veterans!
As someone not familiar with the intricacies of the legal system, Abbie Steiner was a tremendous help. She patiently explained the details, answered numerous questions, and provided guidance while we resolved the issues. Our family is grateful for her support and expertise, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
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.
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.
