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

David Ossian was top notch. As well as fellow staff Tuesday and the veterans support squad. If the VA is giving you a run around to get your disability benefits. I very highly recommend Berry Law. You won’t be disappointed.

Five-Star Review for Berry Law – The members of Berry Law, the firm’s attorneys, customer service representatives and associates provide exceptional service for me and my friends. I am a client and have been for many years now and receive continuous support on all my VA claims. I started with 60% with no success through many avenues. My team walked me through the process and took a personal hand in moving my issues forward. I am now at 90% and steadily moving. Each team member stays in contact and pushes the claims through the process effectively. I am a believer in the VA system and VA’s commitment to helping us veterans. My doctors and staff at the VA are truly helpful. However, at the same point Berry helps us navigate though the maze of claims reporting professionally with responsive team members who are dedicated to their respective positions. I’ve recommended at least four members to them with outstanding results. Taking one to 100% I would stand by stating that they are t

I really cannot explain the level of professionalism that BERRY LAW FIRM brings to the table. I was contacted by one of my best friends who happens to be a two time war veteran and explained to me who Berry Law Firm was And he spoke about how they helped him getting the ball rolling and getting the job done that he hired them to do. To date, I have spoken to 3 of the law firms Associates., and I really have to say that I’m just impressed with the way they communicate with their clients.,! Even if they had not gotten me a rating, I would still recommend them! Just a pleasure speaking to the members of this law firm. From the bottom of my heart, I truly and really want to express my gratitude towards all the members of BERRY LAW for assisting me in such a professional manner! Thank you all!! GREAT JOB 👍🏼🙏🏼

I had an outstanding experience working with Berry Law on my VA disability claim. After struggling to navigate the process on my own, I turned to the team because I needed experienced advocates who understood the VA system. From the very beginning, everyone I worked with was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my case. They kept me informed, answered my questions, and made a stressful process much easier. I highly recommend Berry Law to any veteran looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated legal representation. Five stars all the way!

Hired Attorney John S. Berry

Filing a claim with the VA is a complicated process that requires knowledge and experience that I simply did not have. I had no legal training, little understanding of how to organize medical evidence to support my claim, and very little knowledge of the VA claims and appeals process. Berry Law had the experience and expertise that I needed, and their help made a tremendous difference in my case. I really enjoyed Gabe and the team who fought for my interests. I really appreciated Deb who helped translate legal terminology into understandable language. Throughout the process, everyone at Berry Law was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I honestly do not think I would have gotten very far without their assistance. Berry Law was also approachable and supportive. Whenever I had questions, Berry Law was there to explain things clearly, answer my concerns, and provide encouragement when I needed it. I am very grateful that I chose Berry Law.

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

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.
