This review is for the veterans who are suffering as I was. The VA will deny you at every possible turn. You NEED a qualified team to step in your shoes and battle it out for you. We (us Veterans) did our time fighting and it is OK to let someone stand up for you now. The VA will let you suffer and give you the run around when doing it yourself. Believe me when I say this, as it comes from straight experience. I would like to tell you my story of the hard road I went down until I met TJ Kroh and Gabrielle of the Berry Law Firm. My PTSD had caused such anxiety and depression that I was in a very, very dark place. My mental health was very close to adding me to the 22-per-day list. My body and mind were completely broken so much so that the mental health C&P examiner wanted to hold me for 72 hours for safety reasons. I was totally lost, the pain, the guilt, night terrors, and visions were getting stronger daily. I was convinced suicide was the only way out after wasting a lot of time (years) going round and round getting denial after denial. I was COMPLETELY (and still am) convinced the VA was waiting out the clock knowing I was close to becoming a statistic. I THOUGHT I could fight this on my own and save some money but THAT was the worst mistake I made. After searching the web for answers, I came to the realization that everybody is an expert, but nobody would take my case because I wasn't "low-hanging fruit" plus I was so angry, abusive, quick-tempered, and not easy to deal with. I was 100% lost and about to give up until I read an article relating to my anxiety & depression. That article was written by the BERRY LAW FIRM. After speaking with the intake specialists and upon review of my case I was assigned the very tenacious and aggressive T.J Kroh and his assistant Gabrielle. Those two quickly jumped into action and worked extremely hard ensuring that I got EVERY SINGLE PENNY that was owed to me. Those two used every angle they could to ensure success. TJ Kroll is very patient, and understanding (At times, I was very abusive towards them because of my mental state, yet he STILL fought for me every day.) Because of TJ Kroh and Gabrielle's extraordinary teamwork, and their ability to convince the Law Judge, I am now rated 100% service-connected. 70% Anxiety & depression, 50% migraines (max), plus 11 other claims he was highly successful at obtaining. But even more impressive was that TJ & Gabrielle didn't stop once I hit 100%. They FOUGHT for all the secondary claims that are caused by the main disabilities. They DO NOT stop fighting for you when you think it's completed. In fact, just the other day I got an email from him letting me know I will be receiving a check for $17,000 and change because they hadn't stopped fighting for me. Because of BERRY LAW FIRM especially, TJ Kroh, I have been able to get the financial compensation I so desperately needed and deserved so I can now begin the long road of the healing process without having to worry about not having a paycheck. I went from multiple denials to 100% service-connected because they never gave up on me and did the hard work it takes to beat the VA. I will now be able to heal from the trauma and I wouldn't be where I am today without them. IF YOU ARE A VETERAN IN A VERY DARK PLACE LIKE I WAS, I CAN NOT BE CLEARER - YOU MUST SAVE YOURSELF AND CALL TJ KROH AT THE BERRY LAW FIRM. NOBODY WILL FIGHT HARDER FOR WHAT YOU DESERVE. read more

My name is John Hamilton, and I'd like to provide the following feedback to any veteran who is struggling with their ability to maintain stable employment, normal social interaction, acquiring needed medical services and securing a safe and sustainable housing situation due to trauma suffered during their service to our Country. After eighteen years in uniform and a decade in Federal Law Enforcement, I was posted to Lincoln, Nebraska from Vermont. My ability to maintain professional standards at work were bringing me closer every day to being forced to voluntarily resign from work. A fellow, civilian law enforcement officer, suggested that I consider approaching Berry Law, in Lincoln Nebraska, to review my disability issues. I took his advice, and the decision has fundamentally changed my life. Berry assigned Jerusha Hancock as my legal representative and from the initial interview through the final decisions from VA Judge her support was above and beyond anything that I could have anticipated. A word of caution to fellow veterans; don't expect the process of obtaining the full disability rating that you deserve to be quick or easy. It's an administrative process and it requires time and patience but, in the end and with excellent legal representation, it pays off. In my case, I arrived in Nebraska at a rating of 50%. I had experienced severe trauma overseas on classified operations and had repeatedly been denied a rating commensurate with my injuries. Jerusha prepared an initial request for a VA review and after a few exams I was upgraded to 80% which helped significantly. Jerusha agreed with me that my injuries were severe enough to warrant a rating of 100% which would dramatically improve my ability to survive. During the two and a half years of appeals and exams Jerusha and berry Law were in my corner at every step of the way. She always responded to my questions and provided clear, understandable answers very quickly. I was never left in doubt, which would have added to my frustration and anxiety. Like I said, the process is not instant gratification but it's life changing if you allow this veteran dedicated Law Firm to help you. In my case, I ultimately received a rating of 100% and they even appealed the back pay to a VA Judge, which took over a year, and finally resulted in a significant tax-free back payment. It won't cost you a penny out of pocket throughout the process, so if you're in dire financial straits, as I was, please don't hesitate to reach out to Berry law for help. It will change your life forever! read more

January 9, 2026, the VA sent a letter severing the 70% disability. I needed help. Berry Law provided professional assistance, guidance, and council when I could no longer function. Shelly Tran sent an email saying Berry Law received the signed document to represent me. She said it would take 3-4 weeks to access all the VA records and review my case. Next up was Rob Hilton, Legal Assistant. Rob kept me up to date and informed me of the legal process. Berry Law assigned Annalee Sorensen to my case. On February 20, 2026, Annalee sent an email saying my signed statement submitted to the VA. February 24, 2026, Annalee sent an email summarizing our concall, denied claims, Pending claims, Intent to file, forms to complete, fees, appeal process, and timeline. Feb 26, 2026, Rob Hilton sent an email link that included all my VA documents. I did not have these documents. Rob answered all the questions I had immediately. Rob kept me updated on everything, including the legal team process. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran. Berry Law's legal team process was near and dear to my heart. Rob wrote that here is how your platoon operates: Platoon Leaders - Set the overall strategy and determine the strongest course of action. VA Accredited Attorneys - Conduct in-depth legal analysis and draft complex appeals. Case Managers - Drive execution, manage deadlines, and keep your case on track. Veteran Support Squad - Gather evidence and ensure you stay informed throughout the process. May 18, 2026, received an email: the VA Virtual Formal Hearing on Friday July 24, 2026, 2:00 PM EST. Berry Law assigned the Senior Lawyer, Jamie Rasmussen, to oversee my case and be on the Formal Hearing. Jamie and I had a concall to discuss the Formal Hearing. She summarized the Strategy and tactics: What to Expect and Our argument. Jamie managed 90% of the Formal Hearing. Her Close ended question, near the end of the hearing, to the VA Review Officer, put my mind at ease. Result: the RO agreed that 70% service-connected disability will remain. He needed a statement from my therapist. Jamie oversaw the rest. August 11, 2026, the VA sent a letter saying in writing, my 70% service-connected disability reinstated. Jamie submitted a new set of secondary disability claims due to the existing service-connected disability. Secondary disability claims never crossed my mind. Thank you, Jamie, for everything. My job now is to "Hurry Up and Wait" read more

What problem caused you to seek assistance from Berry Law? The Veterans Affairs (VA) was unwilling to consider my perspective regarding my disability issues. Initially, they assessed my disability at 10%. Despite undergoing three physical examinations and four psychological evaluations, including one from my personal psychologist, the VA only increased my rating to 30%. They were not supportive of veterans. Subsequently, they decided to reclaim all the compensation I had received, which was my sole source of income as I was a full-time student. This left me feeling both frustrated and distressed. I felt their actions were neither fair nor legal, compelling me to seek legal representation. Although I was reluctant to approach the VA for help initially, their actions left me with no other choice. Where did the representation take place? The representation occurred in both Omaha and Lincoln. I was received in one and Matthew my lawyer is in the other. Why did you choose Berry Law? A Veterans Representative at a State Job Service recommended Berry Law, along with another firm. Berry Law had successfully defended him in the past. I was informed that dealing with the VA would be a lengthy process, but Berry Law was reputed to be the best. What did you appreciate about working with our team? Matthew Bartling provided exceptional legal support. From the first time we spoke, he told me what he saw, how we could win, and what to expect. He clearly articulated the strengths of my case, outlined the potential outcomes, and successfully delivered the results he had projected. What was the outcome of your case? With the assistance of Berry Law and Matthew Bartling specifically, my disability rating was increased from 30%, which I had initially contested on my own, to a total of 140%. Consequently, I am now recognized as 100% permanent and total. How has this outcome impacted your life? Prior to this outcome, my wife and I were homeless, I couldn't retain work, and reliant on family for shelter. Now, I am able to provide a stable home, food, and all of our monthly bills. Additionally, I am receiving the necessary medical, eye, and dental care through the VA. This stability has lead to me getting a remote job that I now work along with going to school. read more

I chose Berry Law because they were highly recommended to me by another Veteran. After attempting a claim on my own with help from the VFW, listing over 20 Gulf War conditions, and being granted only 10% after a year of drowning in paperwork and C&P Exams, I was about to give up on the VA. Thankfully, I called Berry Law and asked if they thought I had a case for an appeal. They immediately said yes, and their payment schedule was more than fair, so I signed with them five days later. They practice all over the U.S., but most clients never need to go anywhere; it is all done over the phone, email, and computer. My case manager, Jacob Fry, began analyzing my military and private medical records, and submitted an appeal on all my conditions within about 90 days. Jacob and his paralegal team were in touch with me every step of the way, submitting all the required documentation in a timely manner, answering all my questions during the process, and taking into account my preferences as to how to approach certain matters of my case. Being a veteran himself, Jacob would even answer my questions about the VA healthcare system and other benefits that were available. Because of the communication and attention I received, my claim was 100% successful within 18 months of the time I signed with Berry Law. I was even able to receive additional benefits because of my unique situation. Berry's billing department has been great as well. I was never charged anything above 30% of the back pay I received for my claim, and only after I received payment from the VA. In fact, they are so ethically bound to their billing policy that they analyze each account for deposits, and when I received some back pay that was not covered in their contract terms, they told me that they are not entitled to bill for it. I have already recommended this Firm to two other individuals who are now consulting with Berry Law, and I will continue to recommend Berry Law to any veteran looking for assistance with the VA and its processes. read more

Berry Law Review 1. When I retired from the military in 1989 I filed for disability on my back and my teeth from a helicopter crash in 1972 and other health issues from Agent Orange and burn pits in Vietnam. I have used several Veteran Service Officers over the years and have been denied any compensation from the VA in every case. I have spent over $40,000.00 in dental bill and have had 4 major back surgeries and am fused from my tail bone to my neck. 2. Berry Lw Firm assigned Matthew Bartling as my case manager and McCain Vasa as his assistant for my case. 3. I chose Berry Law Firm because I felt I had no other option as I was being threatened by the VA that I was a fraud, had never served in the military and never served in Vietnam. I was drafted into the military in 1966, served in Vietnam flying over 2300 hours, received a direct commission and gave the military the best 23 years of my life. I was in a helicopter crash in 1972 which injured my back and fractured all my upper and lower jaw teeth. I was subjected to Agent Orange every day in Vietnam and lived 30 yards from a burn pit. 4. Once I was contacted by the Berry Law Firm, I was contacted by Matthew Bartling, who called and was very professional. He asked lots of questions to get all the information he needed to work my case. He also had McCain Vasa contact me on a couple of occasions to get additional information. They were both very professional, courteous and obviously very competent at working disability claims for soldiers. They were actually the easiest of all those I worked with in the past who attempted to work my VA claims. 5. Matthew Bartling got me a 100% service connected and permanent disability rating. I only regret that I can't give him more than a 5 star rating. 6. The 100% service connected and permanent disability rating will allow me to have the health care I need. I am on a walker full time, and I may have to have a vehicle modified for me and I can get the dental care I need in future. read more

Prior to Berry Law Firm, I struggled for years to gain any ground in the fight for VA disability benefits--which after talking to lots of folks, seems like the norm when trying to go on your own. As I did the research to seek help, read through reviews left by others, and reached out to a couple independent attorneys as well as regional and national law firms to compare options, it became immediately evident to me that Berry Law Firm was the best choice. Amidst the other options, I had one communicate my disability symptoms didn't amount to much/wasn't worth their time (keep reading to see just how wrong they were); another large firm made me feel like I was just another number; and one or two did not respond in a timely fashion and/or charged up front with high fees. At Berry Law Firm on the other hand, I was welcomed by genuine intake staff and handed over to Seth Chambers. Seth and his team (thank you Missy and Angela!) secured immediate victories through some initial appeals--raising me from 30% to 50% in only a matter of months! But what came next was what speaks volumes for Seth and reflects incredibly upon Berry Law Firm. Seth diligently and continuously re-evaluated the plan, reviewing my military files, my symptoms, the medical evaluations, statements, the VA's jargon, etc. He endured multiple lengthy emails and did not simply suffer my outbursts of frustration, but guided me how we would fight on. As a fellow veteran, Seth always engaged personally via phone calls, especially when he knew it mattered most and when I was at wit's end. Over the course of about the next 1.5-2 years, Seth provided advice and advocacy, sometimes gaining small ground, but always battling on--whereupon the VA recently acknowledged my conditions 100% P&T! I wholeheartedly recommend Berry Law Firm! Stay in the fight and get those by your side who truly know what that means (and have the expertise and capabilities to win)! read more

I can't recommend VA Claims Attorney David Ossian and his team at Berry Law Firm highly enough. I have been working with David since 2020, and throughout that time, he and his team have consistently gone above and beyond in helping me navigate the VA claims process. They have worked with me on more than 10 different claims, including initial claims, denials, appeals, and Higher-Level Reviews (HLRs). No matter how complicated the situation became, they never stopped fighting for me. The VA claims process can be incredibly complicated, confusing, and time-consuming. There are so many rules, deadlines, forms, and procedures that I honestly don't believe I could have successfully navigated it on my own. Having David and his team in my corner has made a tremendous difference. What stands out most to me is their persistence and attention to detail. When a claim was denied, they didn't just accept the decision and move on. They took the time to review the situation, identify the next steps, and continue working toward the best possible outcome. They have been there through the entire process, including the frustrating parts, and have always treated me with professionalism and respect. After working with David for several years and through more than 10 claims, I can honestly say that choosing him and Berry Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made regarding my VA benefits. If you are a veteran trying to navigate the VA claims process and feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to start, I strongly recommend reaching out to David Ossian and the team at Berry Law Firm. They know the process, they understand how complicated it can be, and most importantly, they genuinely put in the work for their clients. Thank you, David, and the entire Berry Law team, for everything you have done for me over the years. I truly appreciate your dedication, persistence, and willingness to keep fighting when things got difficult. read more

Before contacting The Berry Law Firm, I had been struggling with a disability and compensation claim with another firm. My biggest disappointment with that firm was the lack of communication. In a bit of despair and desperation I decided to do a web search for lawyers who handled VA disability claims. After contacting a few that I was not satisfied with I came across The Berry Law Firm. Following some extensive research and reading some great reviews, I decided to contact them. Seth Chambers and his legal assistant, Angela Kratzer took my claim. The initial phone consultation I had with Seth was very in depth. He asked so many questions. He wanted as much detailed information as possible. He then told me a little history about Berry Law but what I liked the most is that he told me about himself. I can't connect with a law firm but I can connect with a person. Seth was and still is very easy to connect with. I can't tell you how many times I've contacted Angela with questions but it was a lot. If she didn't answer the phone, she always returned my phone calls. She kept me abreast of all that was going on with my claim. Now that I've been through this process, I've learned it takes some time. A lot of it is a waiting process on the VA side of things which, at times, has been extremely frustrating. Seth explained to me that there were so many complications to my claim and arguments to be made, is the reason why it took longer than normal. My patience and their diligence netted me a retroactive win of $106,317.06 and an increased disability rating to 80%. There is not a scale in which I could place my satisfaction on. The Berry Law firm definitely have themselves a couple of aces in these two. This has changed my life and given me financial security. To highly recommend them would be an understatement. Seth and I are already in the works on an additional laim. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. read more

I wanted to take some time to express my gratitude to Thomas Kroh, Senior Counsel II, and Licensed Attorney, and highly recommend, without hesitation, his firm, Berry Law, 1414 Harney St. Suite 400, Omaha, NE 68012. I am a Vietnam Navy Veteran. After being rejected by several other law firms, which apparently saw no merits in my appeals, I contacted a VA Accredited Representative at Berry Law who patiently listened to my background and forwarded the information to Thomas. At that point, I was rated at 60% with multiple denials that I was managing myself. I had gone to a VSO at my local VFW who was coaching me but not taking that active a role in my efforts. Mr. Kroh agreed to accept me as a client, and from that day forward, my experience with the VA changed dramatically. Thomas Kroh, Esq. demonstrated his considerable expertise in guiding me through interviews and suggestions to help me eventually gain VA approvals which led to a 100% rating. He always answered my emails promptly and is supported by an outstanding support team. After spending time looking at the knowledge, background and experiences of Berry Law and its entire staff, I learned that most of the team are also veterans themselves with a diverse set of service records from all the military branches. It made me feel comfortable knowing that I was working with people who weren't just civilians, but rather brothers and sisters. When I was finally rated at 100%, Mr. Kroh's efforts didn't stop, which I would have probably done had I been successful in achieving that rating by myself. He and his team continued and are continuing to file appeals to review prior dates to earn back pay. There efforts have been quite successful. I simply could not have accomplished the results that I've experienced without the support and efforts of Berry Law, and especially those of Thomas Kroh. read more

I can't say enough great things about Berry Law, but specifically David Ossian, my Case Manager and USMC Veteran. After years of feeling defeated by the VA, I was absolutely going to give up on my claim. It had been an emotional rollercoaster that I didn't want to ride anymore. Dave and I sat down at a Marine Corps League event, and I told him of my issues with the VA. I explained that after 3 separate claims and being denied over the years, I just wasn't up to the fight anymore. My claim was for PTSD/Depression/Anxiety from an unreported MST during my time in the Corps. Dave assured me he understood my apprehension, but asked me to put my trust in him, and Berry Law. He said he and I were going to fight this one last time, and they were going to do the work. They sure did. I was immediately contacted by Dave's team. They kept me well informed on my case, from start to finish. I truly didn't have to do anything. Immediately, I was scheduled for my C&P. After that was complete Dave and his team at Berry Law continuously kept me apprised of my case. Dave was able to find things in my file that could prove my case and back date it to 2017. Last week, after what has felt like a lifetime of neglect from the VA, I received the news that my claim was finally at 100% total and permanent. Because of Dave's hard work it was backdated to 2017. Thanks to Dave and his team, I finally feel validated and recognized by the VA. I 100% recommend Berry Law and Dave Ossian if you are considering reopening a denied VA claim. You will never feel like you are in the fight alone. They are right there next to you the entire way. Thank you, Dave, and Berry Law. You have absolutely helped me with my healing process. It is good to know there are people out there like you who truly care for our Veterans. Semper Fidelis read more

I engaged Berry Law based upon the recommendation of fellow US Navy vet, CAPT John Cordle, USN (RET) for help with a claim for service connect sleep apnea that was initially denied. He was facing the same issue with the VA. Sean Shepherd, my Veteran Case Manager, and former US Marine spent a great deal of time explaining the VA process and the issues surrounding service-connected sleep apnea determination. He walked me through the process of gathering witness statements from my ex-wife and others, as well as completing sleep and quality of life assessments in conjunction with pulmonologist documentation. Mr. Shepherd also reviewed my existing claims with the VA and advocated for the application for an increased rating relating to 3 spinal surgeries. Upon review, those ratings were increased, and Berry Law charged ZERO fees for the work and guidance on this increase. This increase now provides my family the opportunity to participate in Dependents' Educational Assistance and property tax credit in Massachusetts. My sleep apnea appeal hearing is still pending (1-year approximate wait); I had filed an appeal prior to contacting Berry Law and regret the decision, as Mr. Shepherd educated me on the various options, I had that may have been more expedient, such as Supplemental Claim or Higher-Level Review. Berry Law will represent me once a Board of Veteran's Appeals date is set, and I am confident that they will prevail. Despite the distance between Mr. Shepherd's Omaha office and my residence outside of Boston, the communication and process were both flawless and timely. I received a reply to each of my inquiries and requests for clarification, usually the same day or within 24 hours maximum. I would highly recommend Mr. Sean Shepherd and the Berry Law team to any veteran navigating the VA claims labyrinth. read more

Subject: Heartfelt Gratitude for Resolving My Veteran's Disability Claim Dear Seth Chambers and Missy, I hope this note finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional support, dedication, and expertise you provided in helping me achieve resolution in my veteran's disability claim. Seth, your legal prowess and tireless efforts were pivotal in navigating the complexities of my case. Your commitment to seeking justice on my behalf was evident in every step of the process. Your knowledge and experience truly made a difference, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive outcome that your hard work secured. Missy, your unwavering support and attention to detail were invaluable throughout this journey. Your responsiveness, organizational skills, and genuine care for my case made a significant impact on my experience. Knowing that I had you as a point of contact gave me a sense of reassurance and confidence during what could have otherwise been an overwhelming process. Together, your team at Berry Law Firm has not only achieved a successful resolution in my veteran's disability claim but has also restored my faith in the power of skilled legal representation. Your dedication goes far beyond the norm, and I am fortunate to have had you on my side. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your outstanding work and the positive impact you've made on my life. Your professionalism, expertise, and kindness will forever be remembered. I look forward to recommending Berry Law Firm to anyone in need of legal services, knowing that they will be in the best hands possible. Wishing you both continued success in all your endeavors. Thank you once again for making a profound difference in my life. With sincere gratitude, Adrian Corker read more

I came to Berry Law at the recommendation of my son-in-law, an Iraqi War Vet, who'd seen heavy combat with the Army's 4th Stryker Brigade. Jack said he'd had great success with Berry Law and they'd helped him to his 100% rating. I myself am a Vietnam Vet and had previously submitted claims that had rated me at 90%, but I'd had additional claims rejected. Berry Law evaluated my case in a short time and were very clear on what they thought they could (and couldn't) help me with. Working with attorney Matt (Matthew) Bartling from the Lincoln office and his paralegal, McKenna Sender, I was treated very professionally. Matt's patience, persistence, sympathy and concern helped get me through the awkward and frustrating VA appeal process, and McKenna was very helpful and supportive with expediting everything and keeping me informed. I'd had hip and back problems all the way back to my time in the Marines and the over years since my Vietnam tour. After two hip replacements and a major back surgery, the VA would not recognize a service connection and rejected my claim without even scheduling a C&P exam. Matt worked my appeal and I eventually was sent for a C&P exam that evaluated my case and recognized a service connected disability. The result has moved me to a 100% rating. The 100% has opened up the full range of VA health service, it's accessed me to Washington State benefits and has improved the options for survivor benefits for my wife. I simply would not have gotten through the appeal process successfully without Berry Law. They know, understand and have the legal credentials and experience to deal with the VA. I'm very grateful for my son-in-law's advice (thanks Jack) and very grateful for Berry Law! read more

Berry Law is your go-to attorney for VA claims and appeals. My husband and I were discouraged by multiple denial letters from the VA for his VA claims. He is a Gulf War veteran with symptoms of war related conditions that we thought would have no problem getting approved. When we received those denial letters, we were at a loss on how to proceed in the appeals process. We searched online for a good local VA claims & appeals attorney. Berry Law had great reviews and so we decided to give them a call. T.J. Kroh, our current attorney assigned to his appeals, and his assistant Gabriella have put in worked hard on many of my appeals through the VA claims system. They have been successful with getting higher ratings for my husband with several of his appealed claims. This team is thorough, very knowledgeable of the VA system, communicates well with their clients and never gives up on any of the claims & appeals that have been filed on behalf of the veteran. T.J. always responds very quickly to any decision letters received or questions we may have and takes the time to explain the next step, so we understand the appeals process. Communication is an important part of the relationship between the veteran and Berry Law attorneys. They continue to advocate for us during this long process and will advocate for any veteran to receive the benefits they are entitled to. The VA system is slow, but we don't give up - we've got Berry Law on our side. We have appealed for higher ratings for many years and finally received a nice win for my husband - total and permanent disability due solely to my service-connected disabilities. Thank you to T.J. & Gabriella at Berry Law for your hard work and dedication! read more

Working through the VA's disability C&P system can be a time-consuming task. I personally experienced the ups and downs, denials and appeals of items in and not in my medical record, all while trying to navigate the system on my own. I was close to just giving up and running with the rating I had. I was introduced to Berry Law Firm by a former SNCO I served with. Upon first contact with Sean Shepherd I knew they would help me get the service connections I could not seem to push through alone. Their knowledge of VA C&P cases and access to legal references (court cases) is a great help. Their legal assistants like Morgan Hansen, whom I communicated with, kept me up to date on my case and were there to answer any questions I may have. With their representation all I had to do was show up to evaluation appointments. Sure, I still had a couple denials before everything was settled, but the folks with Berry Law like Morgan and Sean were quick to file the appeal with all documents needed plus additional references to support my case. The outcome, all my service connections I was seeking are complete plus some that I overlooked. Their help and attention to my case pushed me over the edge to a 100% VA rating. Yes, this comes with a monetary value, but my main driver was to service connect future issues caused by military service. Now some weight is lifted knowing I will be taken care when needed. If you are reading this and experiencing troubles getting service connections with the VA I would highly suggest reaching out to the men and women at Berry Law. Not only are they a great firm, you will be working with fellow veterans that know what you are going through. read more

If you're navigating the VA claims process, pay attention--Berry Law is the team you want in your corner. Like many veterans, I initially tried to handle it on my own. I filled out the forms, followed the rules, and ultimately experienced the usual runaround--delays, denials, and dead ends. At one point, I began to question whether it was worth fighting anymore. That's when I was told by a fellow veteran to call Berry Law, they will do you solid. This team is comprised of absolute professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the VA system. They're not afraid to push back when something isn't right. I worked with Sean Shepard, and he is incredibly dedicated. He's sharp, direct, and most importantly, he truly cares. Sean and the team treated me with respect, kept me updated, and ensured I always understood what was happening. I never felt like just another case file to them; I felt like a priority. I know one concern some veterans have is that they take a percentage of your back pay if they win. But here's the reality--that's money you would never have seen without them. It's money you deserve, but didn't have in your hands previously. So, yes, they take a cut, but after seeing how hard they work, how much they care, and what they helped me recover, I can confidently say that they earn every single penny. This isn't a cookie-cutter legal outfit. The service you receive is top-notch, deserving of a gold star or blue ribbon. Sean and his crew go above and beyond. If you're tired of being ignored, delayed, or denied, stop trying to navigate this alone and let them be your corner man. It can be a brutal fight, and they are the best cut men I have ever seen. read more

As a vet, especially combat arms, we have a different point of view. The culture while in the service is to suck it up and drive on and Motrin is handed out like tic-tacs. Once out, the same attitude persists. We just deal with it, until we can't. In 2015 I tried to seek on my own disability benefits and was denied outright without even a C&P exam. I didn't understand and felt betrayed, frustrated, & at a loss. 10 yrs later my wife convinced me to try again, and after some online searches for assistance, I came across Berry Law, it was one of the few that lawfims that highlighted Airborne operations and a slew of the issues I was dealing with as a result, in addition to injuries from a Training MVA while in service. After the intake questionnaire, they got to work. My case manager was Katie D. Throughout the process from initial submissions, C&P exams, & supplemental claims I stayed in constant contact. The information and submissions were relevant and detailed. Don't expect things to be a daily update though as they research the specifics for your disabilities case and how they correlate, but there is enough communication for them to outline the steps moving forward. The process with Berry Law did increase my disability rating significantly, as they were able to articulate in leagalese that of which aligned to my specific injuries, which is exactly what I needed. Someone to argue on my behalf better than I could articulate. Going back to my 2015 submission, I wasn't specific, it was shoulder hurts, knee hurts, back hurts, ankles hurt, ect.... Berry Law helped with those specifics. Don't go it alone, because you don't have too. read more
